Day 22

So here we are just over 3 weeks post op and things are ok,I can't say that I am happy as of yet with my new knee and the moment I am having a bit of a love hate relationship with it!I love that one day it will give me the chance to do so much but I hate that it hurts so much right now.

My daily routine is pretty much the same at the moment I wake in agony and really stiff I struggle to the toilet on my crutches and putting the weight through it is really sore,I take my meds I'm on 30mg MST now instead of the Tramadol and I do my physio,knee bends and leg raises I still don't think I am much past 50 degree knee bend and I can raise my leg but I can only do it once as it hurts so much so I am concentrating on strengthening my thighs and quad muscles.

I then try to get as comfy as possible which is nearly impossible and I ice it lots and then more physio and a short walk and I mean short I can only manage to go about 5 doors up the street and back and the day continues pretty much the same!

I am bored and tired as I am not sleeping and I feel horrible from the drugs and the emotions are ridiculous I have been crying at everything!

Anyway enough from happy me for the day!
