Day 21-
Worked on bending the knee more and more… I am hoping that tomorrow I blow my PT lady’s mind! I feel like I’m getting it to 90 degrees but I can’t be sure but I have been working it almost all day long it feels! Still on a strange sleep schedule but since I’ve been taking the pain meds less and less I seem to sleep better and better. Last night I slept on my right side and it felts so good to be back on my usual side and no pain or pressure!! It’s the little things right now that make me happy… like taking a shower tonight as well!! Not much else going on so I’ll see ya’all tomorrow!!

It's the Little Things
Day 20-
Still a bit sore from going out yesterday but I slept well and it was really nice to get out of the house for a bit. We rented a wheelchair and I went to the mall and bought some sweatpants for being laid up in. My jeans are too hard to get into and so I need some nicer sweats for going out of the house like with my parents or with my fiancee or to doctor appointments. I did sleep most of the day though and I’m sure that that’s good for me as well. I’ve been able to get up and help around the house a little and it makes me feel really good to help out. I folded some laundry while sitting down but at least I was helping. Again, it’s the little things!!

Sick to my Stomach
Day 18-
I was supposed to have PT today but I was so sick to my stomach that I cancelled my appointment. I think that the blood thinners are making me so sick but Tuesday is the last day I have to take them and I couldn’t be happier. So today I slept and slept and felt sick and sick. Not much to report other than I hope I feel better tomorrow to go out with my parents. See ya tomorrow!!

Ice, Ice Baby!
Day 17-
Still sore from my first PT session yesterday. I can’t believe how much it hurt still and I am trying to work it more so I’m ready for tomorrow but I can’t image that I will be ready for her again. I keep reminding myself that this is for a better quality of life and to return to the things in life that I love and to have the rest of my life! I do however, never EVER want to go through this again. I hope that this replacement last more than 30 years… I hope it last the rest of my life as I never want to do this again! This is a hard and tough rehab to go through and its just the beginning. Planning to ice the knee lots today and just sleep. See ya’all tomorrow!!
