Nov 16, 2014 - Nine days after surgery (the second week)

Milestone: I am driving.

Yesterday I was exhausted after my day "out". So I decided to take it easy today and get back to my physical therapy exercises instead of walking in the pool. I really need to work on my flexibility and as much "not fun" as those exercises are, I need to do them. Walking in the pool is good too, but I think at this point I will get more benefit from the flexibility exercises.

Oh, and about the bruising, my leg is now completely discolored, kind of like the stuff they put on your leg before surgery. I think that the C&C machine is contributing to this. Once all of the blood is absorbed, I am sure my leg will look better. Until then, it is very yellow.
