Today is day 2 post operation! It is going well. Not a great as yesterday. I think this is because my knee was numb all day yesterday and that numbing wore off through the night.
I couldn't sleep all night. It sucked but it was mainly because I always sleep on my side with my knees bent and my medicine wasn't strong enough. But after this surgery you can only sleep on your back. Ugghhhh! My doctor only gave me Percocet and definitely was not strong enough. This morning my mom called the doctor’s office and they gave me Oxycontin which has taken away most of the pain.
Today my doctor wanted me to start bending my knee and doing light exercises. I have to complete the exercises 3 times a day and it is about 20 mins each. The first time was pretty difficult but throughout the day it got easier. So hopefully there will be some progression within the next couple of days.
I haven't left my bed all day! Thank god I got a TV for my room. I have just been watching movies not stop and watching the horrible traffic on 495...all those suckers have to go to work bahahahah!
So I can’t wait till sunday. I get to take off all the bandages and shower! It will feel so good!
Take care,
Steph
