Great! Swollen. Great! Swollen. Swollen. Good. Bad.
This is my life at 3.5 weeks. Not a lot of fun, plenty of frustration. Surgeon, PT staff, family, all are amazed at how well I’m doing, ugh! 115/0, pretty good I guess, but I can’t figure out what I’m doing right some days and wrong others. Am I doing too much or too little? Ice, elevate, walk and exercise OR rest, ice and elevate?
Today is a bad one. More swelling than most swelling days. I’m icing and elevating but it feels like I’m being stuck in the leg and knee with a pin, or a TENS machine is set way too high.
Any words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated on this “bad day”.
