   They said the coming days it would certainly get worse, and they   
   actually said a lot worse.  Silly me, I thought I was going to be ok.   
   Was walking around pretty good last night and had little difficulty   
   going up and down the few stairs in and out of my garage.  Woke up   
   feeling pretty good still.   
      
   Then just like that everything changed.  The good hospital meds and the   
   nerve block are long gone, and it swelled up like a grapefruit.  Now   
   it's starting to get black and blue.  I'd say the knee is worse than   
   either a hip or shoulder replacement, especially since it affects you   
   getting around.  Guess it's gonna be hard for a couple days, but I know   
   I can take it, though I might have to double up on the pain meds.  ;-)
