Therapy Again

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.
