Saturday afternoon, my left leg has swollen to what I think is it's limit. I worked extremely hard Friday afternoon in PT. But it is very important for me to find a fine line between correct amount of PT and over doing it. Knowing that I was showing off Friday, not wanting to say I can't do something, I put too much added stress on my left knee. Friday night I paid the price, very sore leg, no real sleep, the clock never moved. Knowing that I was very careful about the amount of PT I would do Saturday morning. I took it very easy, took a couple of walks and rested most of the afternoon. I will be leaving the nursing home very soon, either Monday or Tuesday. My goal was to leave Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving. Please forgive the spelling and grammar, the pain meds seem to knick in when I'm posting. Thanks all for being with me pre and now post. This really is major surgery, and it most be dealt with the recovery with that in mind. I find it very lonely in this nursing home. So, anyone who wold like to post, please do so. Thanks Bob
