I slept a little bit more last night. Day 2 was probably the day I took the most pain killers (just 1 every 4 hours). It was the most painful day so far.
The painkillers cause constipation but fortunately I am a pooping machine. I normally poop 2-3x per day but on these pain killers it’s once per day. Which is still fine.
I am constantly icing my knee. 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off. I also keep my knee elevated almost all the time.
Today is day 3 and I can take off the wrap around my knee. Check it out:
Day 3 – I am allowed to take the wraps off. Bandages stay on.
After removing the wrap I was able to take a shower. The two hardest things right now are: putting on my pants and taking a shower.
I am grateful that I did so much strength training before the surgery because my good leg has had to do a lot of extra work lately.
I still can’t walk without pain. It’s more of a hobble at this point.
Overall I am in less pain today (day 3) than I was on day 2. It is 1pm and I only had to take 1 pain pill today so far. Yesterday I took 5 in total and today I think I will take 3.
I have my first physio appointment tomorrow. I am excited to get out of the house and see how my knee is doing.
