Okay, so for the unveiling of my knee... I have three tiny incisions on my knee and an incision below my knee with stitches. My calf is all bruised and swollen. The bruising hurts more than my knee. I have no pain in my knee.
Drugs: I took OxyCotin at 1:30am and 5:30am, but switched to Advil at 9:30 and so far so good.
One thing I have not mentioned yet ... my hamstring is sore, so sitting down where the backs of my legs touch the edge of the couch, hurts. I remember this last time as well but not sure that I ever wrote that down.
Last time, I did leg lifts right away and was told to do them each day. This time not so much, and am just letting my leg recover via the C&C machine. My first physical therapy appointment is tomorrow. I can't wait to see what they have in store for me.
