Happy one month birthday to my knee!
Therapy went well today. Slant board, stair stepping (regular stairs, not lower ones), hamstring curl machine (40 lbs), leg press machine (70 lbs), then stretching. The combination of the iPod and a Norco taken an hour before therapy really helped. My measurement today was 103! The most painful thing is when he presses down on my knee to try to get it flat, particularly if my ankle is on a block. It feels like it will snap in half backwards, and I find myself resisting it instead of letting it stretch. He assures me that in all of the years he has done this, he has never, ever snapped someone's knee in half backwards. But....you know.... not yet.
I got my hospital bill the other day - $39,383.74. Of that, I will pay $300. I will also pay a $100 copay for the CT scan, and a $500 copay for the surgeon, and copays for the therapy ($25/per session). There may be some random smaller ones, still, but all in all, I am incredibly lucky that I have such great insurance.
