Good afternoon my total knee friends. Day 3. So far today is a better day. I slept for about 3-4 hours at a time last night. I was able to get up and walk to the bathroom without cursing (well not much)
My right leg really is straight and I can walk with it. Yayyyy!!!
The left leg is requiring it's own kind of attention. I have to pick it up and carry it from position to position, worse than a toddler.
The pain is tolerable... until I move, so I'm moving strategically at this time. Quad sets are easy, no issues there. Leg lifts are good on the right and just well, not happening on the left. That sucker must weigh my whole 160lbs, I'm sure of it. Ankle pumps, check. Heel slides, 2 inches, yep that's good
Ok so not perfect, but a damn site better than yesterday. Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. Netflix here I come
