Tuesday's just as good!
Another great day. Another great shower.
I think I can flex well over ninety degrees. Having the brace unlocked, and off when I am sitting and resting, has truly been a blessing. When I am awake that is. Sleep is still bad. I wonder if the brace being unlocked makes it worse for one to get some sleep. It certainly seemed that way last night. Still, I suppose I ought to feel good about feeling good when not sleeping.
I worked on my quads. Tightening them every now and then when sitting and doing nothing else.
I went for a long drive today. No I did not drive. I did not get out either. I sat in the car when others ran errands. What a nice feeling it is to get out. It was a beautiful crisp winter day. I told myself that I should savor the little things that I typically just take for granted. Notwithstanding that, I am quite sure I'll be back to my cynical crabby self in a week or so.
I think I could have gone to work today but luckily work's out for another week. Most of what I read or heard about pre-surgery suggested that folks are typically back on track in a week. So I suppose it is only natural that I should feel good today.
I am looking forward to my post-op visit tomorrow. I have my first physiotherapy appointment tomorrow as well. Yes, I am a bit excited. Like a student who has done well in their exams and is eagerly awaiting their grades.
Sleeping with the brace is still a nuisance though. (I guess I had to throw that in.)
