Therapy today was more like what I expected on Monday. I spent 8 minutes on the seated stepper, then he stretched and bent my leg for, I think 45 minutes (not really, it was more like 15). It was painful, but in a good way. Then he put my legs on an incline and covered the new knee with an ice blanket that felt like heaven. I got out about 12;20 - took longer because a woman had a medical issue of some kind that took everyone's attention. The therapist says not to use the machine for more than an hour at a time, so I'll start back on it tonight. Bend was 81 at therapy.
I refilled my Norco, more for the stockpile than for current need. I also picked up some Pepto-type stuff, which I was desperate for last night (I almost woke Kym to go after some at 2:00 a.m.because I felt so crummy). Hopefully, I will sleep better tonight. I think my stomach wasn't ready for Chipotle.
Overall, I have felt a little swollen today, though the therapist says it isn't that swollen. And even he said I have to remember that it's barely over a week since surgery.
