Post-Op Day # 79 - Sooooo Sore!

Well my knee sure was sore this morning and stayed that way all day! ACK! I had physio @1pm and that went pretty good. My ROM improved a bit so that was great even though my knee felt like it was going to explode.

I told Chris and he looked at my knee, moved it around a bit to see what was going on and ya, he thinks the ligament is being pulled a bit by the way my foot wants to hit the ground when I walk. We're going to really work on getting the foot to hit the ground flat instead of it wanting to use the outside edge. Other then the knee pain, the ankle felt really good and moved quite well. He massaged the incision site again and it didn't hurt as much(PHEW haha) but I think thats because Ive been doing it everyday to help desensitize it.

He told me to get some Vit E capsules to rub on the scar to help soften it a bit and hopefully make it lighter(its quite thick). That really feels good when I massage the ankle and makes it easier.

We did the regular exercises plus added a small step block to the mix so that was interesting. It was a hard one to do but it didn' t seem to aggravate the foot so that was nice.

After physio I came home for a bit to help Adam with a few things then head to the ranch to give Karma a groom.

I groomed her then hung out with the girls on the deck while soaking up the sunshine! haha! I left around 6:15pm and whizzed home because we had to go to Issaquah to meet a guy who was going to buy Adams watch.

We met up with him at the coffee shop, the exchange went down(haha, gangsta style) and then we grabbed some dinner at Chiptole.

We came home and are relaxing with the windows/sliding door screens across, there is a LOVELY breeze tonight. The weather lately has been so nice but today was almost perfect and the evening temperature is divine!

Took my 7.5mg of warfarin @ 8pm --- trying to get this updated so I can watch a couple House episodes before bed. haha!

Thanks for checking in
