Post-Op Day # 80 - Laid Up

Well Thursday was not fun, my knee was so sore I could barely walk -- even resting my leg didn't help the pain. UGH! I took a tylenol to help with the pain, put a heating pad on it so it would sort of dull it out a bit.

I stayed in the house for most of the day(it was super hot out anyways) except for when I had to go let Angus and Harley out mid-day for a potty break. I started dog sitting Thursday and will be staying overnight till Saturday --maybe Saturday night too.

I managed to get up and down the stairs at their house but then needed to rest the leg. I can't believe the amount of pain coming from my knee, it's almost worst then my ankle was the first 2 days post surgery. I was so tempted to take a 1/4 of a percocet to take the edge off but decided I better not because I was taking Tylenol.

I'm going to continue to take Tylenol, put hot and cold compresses on it and stay off it as much as possible till I go back to physio on Monday.
I made sure to do my ankle stretches but just the ones I could do while sitting.

I came back home for a bit to hang out with Adam and have dinner. I couldn't do anything else really.
I took my 10mg of warfarin @ 8pm then head back to the dogs to stay overnight. I let them out then parked my arse on the couch to watch some TV so I give my knee a break. I think I went to bed around 10-10:30pm.
I didn't sleep great because my knee hurt so much plus the house was hot(even with a fan directed at me, ugh, so hot).

That's it for Thursday, it was horrible and I just wanted to cut my leg off! HA HA!

Thanks for checking in
