Progress. Or, Day 5 Home.

Have now seen the home PT person twice. She is very impressed with my progress and warned me about going too fast. :-) Now that the bandage is off I am getting more twinges and weird sensations inside my knee. Still no real pain, so I'm ahead on that score. I get warning stabs when I bend too far or do something the knee isn't ready for yet, but the chronic pain I've been living with for so long is completely gone. The top right part of my knee is completely numb; I may or may not get sensation back.

I can tell that I'm using a lot of energy healing; I'm logy all day even after a decent night's sleep. No real ambition to do anything, though I am kinda bored. I get up, shower, breakfast, get in the CPM machine (or wait for the physical therapist), ice my knee, watch tv, someone comes over, more CPM, exercises, etc. I'm very glad for the National Geographic Channel, let me tell you. I have to keep my knee elevated which means all I can really do is surf the net, watch TV, and read.

I've also taken some kind of wobbly colt-steps without the walker. Weird sensation inside my knee--no pain, just weird, which I assume is my new knee joint moving around.

So far I have cards from my coworkers and tehomet , plus a really great flower arrangement in a smiley face mug from my company.  dremiel  came over today and gamely (she's a vegetarian) got me a pulled pork sandwich at Whole Foods. Who make a surprisingly good pulled pork sandwich.

My brother was supposed to drop by tonight but he went to a drug rep dinner so it may not happen. I mainly need him to shift the sofa as I think I dropped my debit card in there. *sigh*
