Today I decided to try and stop the painkillers. So far it’s not too bad. My knee is achy and sore and I have a few twinges here and there. It might help my physio exercises if I take them but I’ll see how it goes.
I’m still getting my knee bending to about 90 degrees. Hope I can push it a bit further by the end of the week. I'll get frustrated if I don’t see a marked improvement.
I literally cannot wait to get back in the hydrotherapy pool. It made such a difference before the surgery. It’s not possible until my incisions have healed properly I guess but I’m taking a dip just as soon as I’m allowed! I really really can’t wait!
I’ve had to tighten my brace. It was tightened on Thursday at physio but I suppose my thigh is shrinking! I’ll keep doing the leg raises to build up muscle! I've done four lots of physio today followed by ice packs.
Also today I've been getting stuck into plenty of personal admin tasks which I never seemed to have time to do til I became housebound - and checking several times to see if the postman has brought my new book. He hasn’t. My friend has bought me a copy of Cosmo so fashion and gossip will have to do in the meantime.
And I thought I’d just add a picture of my poor little (well not so little) knee now the plasters are nearly ready to come off. Perhaps don’t look if you’re having your lunch.
