Day 4. Fear & Loathing in Peoria

I woke up extremely stiff. Last night I decided to sleep with out the cryocuff. The TED is quite tight. Stiff movement in walking is getting a bit easier, as is getting to 0 degrees.

First round of PT for the day I could barely get 90, after that the knee loosened up and I was able to get more. 127 according to the measure tool in Photoshop and this photograph:


I'm able to get every other leg lift with no lag, but it's extremely taxing. The quad is starting to respond and I'm even getting the 'ridge' muscle no the top.

I've rearranged the room again.


Stretching is done for the day. I haven't had any Oxycotin in 2 days so I decided to take twice the recommended dosage to see what the hype about... which is absolutely nothing. Dry mouth is about the 'best' side effect. Another one was itching, which explains what was going on the first few days after surgery. I thought it was laying on the floor/not showering. Turns out it was the Oxycotin. The whole 'high' lasted probably an hour and was more or less ... useless. Alcohol's cheaper and legal. I think I'll stick with that for now.
