There is a really nice spray called STOP PAIN sold at most RITE AIds and CVS - it's like a little miracle in a bottle and while it won't take away ALL the pain - it helps better than anything you can get OTC.
As far as your surgery? I would HIGHLY recommend going back and reading that post I sent to you a while back about what to expect and DID you ask for the machine that keeps your leg moving? Did you ask for the cold cooler bedside with the hoses that are hooked up to your knees? Did you get or rent a wheel chair with leg rests? Do you have or can you rent or buy at a second hand store a walker? YOU WILL NEED ONE of those - not just a pretty cane. The pain from JUST having your HIP re-aligned correctly after YEARS of it being OUT of alignment MAY be more painful than the knee surgery - FYI. DF's knees were bone on bone and wore down badly - when they realigned his knee his HIP hurt worse than his knee.
As far as sympathy? I'd get a hammer. Yup - I'd get a hammer and I'd wait until you H was asleep, nice and sound - snoring away like a baby and then I'd prop his foot up on a board and WHACK the toe with that hammer as hard as I could and then when he wakes up screaming I'd toss the hammer off to the side and go back to bed. None the worse for care.......In the morning when he cant get his work shoe on or his trouser sock I would look over and say "OMG you are NOT wearing those orthopaedic GRANDPA shoes with a suit are you? HOW embarassing to ME.....I can't possibly take the looks from the neighbors for you dressing in old farts shoes." and go have my tea and toast.
Honestly what a colossal ASS.
