My husband just had knee replacement surgery by Dr. Goding at Wayne County Hospital in Corydon. The…read moresurgery went well and he is very happy. When we arrived at the hospital didn't sit down because they took us immediately to his room and began normal presurgery prep. Everyone was very professional and timing each room entry when the previous pre surgery procedure was finished. Very efficient use of time so no waiting on our part. Then Kevin explained in detail what to expect. After surgery he was brought back to his room in no pain and alert enough to play online chess. We entered the hospital at 8:15 am and he was in his room, after xrays and recovery time, at noon. He followed all the rules and was moving his feet back and forth in bed. The nurses and physical therapists were very accommodating and always there when needed. When he was allowed to stand and walk hall he did very well and was in zero pain. Next morning, day 2, he was able to walk stairs and walk halls and do bathroom duties. He was cleared to go home one day after surgery. He took meds as advised at home. We wrote everything down. We don't like opioids so didn't take except Tramadol every 12 hours as needed. He's been alert and very ambulatory using a cane on day two because the walker didn't work for him. The best thing that he likes is the ice pump machine they sent home from hospital with him to keep his knee cold. He has kept the swelling down and pain down with that machine. He does have a little pain but it can be managed and he does his exercises to keep the knee moving most of the time instead of keeping it stiff. This is day three and he is surprised how well he is doing. Didn't expect it to be this good. His results may not be typical. He is 66 and plays golf and fishes tournaments so he has always been active and stayed in shape. He has put up with pain for years so he said he can put up with a little pain now while healing. Dr. Goding is an excellent surgeon and cares a lot about his patients and it shows.
