i woke up this morning in the absolute worst pain. my leg was ALL swollen i guess from being on it all day yesterday. deep throbbing pain is the worst. i almost broke the glass and pulled out a percacet (the nuclear option for pain) but realized if i did i wouldn't be able to drive for 3 hours and probably be drowsy for the whole work day. instead i popped a vicodin and 4 advil waited an hour and a half in bed before moving. that seemed to work.
when i got to work i noticed my calf muscle was sore in a good way. that meant i used it. i haven't used it in over 2 weeks so that was nice of it to join the dominator walking party. rehab is on thursday and i can't wait. i am so excited to get started. i will try to go at least 2 times a week and maybe even 3. hopefully my doc can keep prescribing the visits. i mean at 20 bucks a pop copay is nothing. the PT place said there is no limit just that my doc has to keep writing scripts.
as far as my weight goes i dropped 5 lbs in 3 days but i have NO doubt that was quadriceps atrophy. all i can say is i hope i NEVER EVER EVER have this surgery again. 5 times is ENOUGH!!!
