Today is my 3 week knee anniversary. I feel like I’m doing well. Sleeping is pretty good, some nights better than others. My PT measured me at 99 flex and 0 extension. Incision looks okay, there’s a little redness beside incision, I think it’s just heat from inside. Still not able to go foot over foot on stairs. I’m doing some light household chores, like loading dishwasher, making bed and some easy meal prep. I’m elevating and icing the majority of the day and using ice machine at night. I’m so ready to get rid of the ice machine, I hate listening to that thing. I still take 1 Percocet at bedtime and during the day I take half of a Percocet with 2 Tylenol a couple of times during the day. Hopefully next week I’ll be able to give up the daytime Percocet and just use Tylenol. I told my DH last night that it’s hard to believe it’s only been 3 weeks. In some ways it seems like I’ve come a long way in such a short amount of time, but on the other hand, 3 weeks feels like an eternity.
. Went to bed at 10:30, took one Percocet and a Benadryl and I didn’t wake up until 6:30. Getting a whole nights sleep makes you feel so much better, both physically and mentally. At a little over 2 weeks, I’m really pleased with my progress so far.
