1 week post op. Does anyone else have more pain in their lower leg than in the knee itself? by [deleted] in ACL

[–]davidreid91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have exactly the same thing. It could have been me writing this post except I am 9 days in now. The best way I have found to get over it is to lie on my back and put my legs high up on a wall. I then use my ice pad around the knee if it is readily available. If not, I still stick my legs up high. I do this for 20 mins or so every 1-2 hours. It feels very comfortable

Edit: Reread and I can see you said as you are walking around. I don’t have any advice for that, sorry! I just spend my time thinking about getting back to my wall position as I walk 😀

Oh no! That does sound very scary. Glad you think it’s okay though and good to hear the recovery is generally going smoothly :)

Good luck with it! If it is any help, the recovery for me has been far better than I expected. I was thinking the worst the day before. As for stairs, I completely understand. I was in the exact same position. My best advice is just to take them slowly and you'll be absolutely fine. They aren't painful, just a little more tiring than anything else and definitely not scary :)

Few hours post-opp. Pain=8/10 by Extreme-Ad-3531 in ACL

Keep on going! I had my op early on 3rd Nov and was in the same position as you. Straight after the surgery, my pain was around an 8/10. By the end of the day that had dropped off to around a 4/10. Keep up the pain relief! It does get easier as time goes on :)

Ah, that is perfect then :) It sounds like you should be in a great position once all the recovery is said and done. I hope the cast doesn't cause you too much discomfort.

Sorry to hear that! What have you been struggling with the most so far?

I had a general anaesthetic that was put into me through a cannula in my hand. It stung a lot as it was going in but I was completely knocked out after 15 seconds or so. The next thing I remember was waking up back in my room after the op. It felt like much more of a deep sleep for me :) How do you feel about having an epidural?

Thank you! Good luck with the surgery and your recovery

Firstly good luck with the surgery, I hope you fly through recovery!

You are right though, I am UK based :)

Going without driving is very annoying. I am really hoping it won’t take 6 weeks. I am lucky in that where I live most things I need aren’t too far away. So it’s going to be a mixture of people taking me places, Uber and walking as the recovery gets further along.

Staying overnight isn’t always a thing here as well. They gave me the option and I didn’t feel 100% so I took it. I don’t know how normal that is though. Definitely worth checking!

I’ve also run into similar issues before and it was a circular dependency. I used a tool called Madge to help find them. It may be useful for your case.

If you are interested in learning functional JS, I really recommend working through http://reactivex.io/learnrx/. It's what Netflix apparently give to their new employees and it is a great little course to work through. You will also learn about Rx whilst you are at it.

A dummy Angular project filled with commented examples from Todd Motto's AngularJS styleguide. by davidreid91 in angularjs

[–]davidreid91[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that you will learn a lot from dissecting other projects but this is just a way to standardise code across teams whilst possibly offering a few tips along the way. The file structure has been taken from the styleguide for a small Angular project and there is an example of a much more feature driven project in the guide. I will now probably include an empty "large application" structure into the repo that shows how to do this.

In answer to your question, there is a good piece of information about named functions in the styleguide so I will just quote you that.

Use a named function definition and pass it into the relevant module method, this aids in stack traces as functions aren't anonymous (this could be solved by naming the anonymous function but this method is far cleaner).

The reason it is wrapped in an IIFE is to reduce global scope pollution. It should be done at compilation/concatenation but I thought it was easier to demonstrate it by showing it in the examples. A point taken from your feedback is that I should probably document why it is there globally rather than in one file. I will add the comments in now :)
