I worked from home on Monday. Mostly because I had my PT appt and partly because I didn't know how I would be feeling. The knee was feeling alright for most of the day today. My dad came to pick me up since I can't drive myself. This was the first time I had left the house since Thursday. There's leaves on the trees!
I went into see Danielle. She cut off my bandage and I got a look at it for the first time. I was kind of expecting it to look like a radish or something*.

The cotton was all stuck to my leg like grampa smurf's leg hair. My shin was all indented from having a hose tied to it for 4 days. I did some light movement on it and we took some measurements. I am missing 5 degrees on my extension and can bend it 65 degrees. Anytime I tried to straighten it, I got this shooting pain up my hamstring from where they took the graph. I do not trust my leg at all without the brace. I can't put weight on it or bend it while standing. I don't know how much of it is physical vs. mental. It is just a little scary.
I am going to be working from home again tomorrow. My ride has a meeting in the morning and it was hard getting into a minivan this afternoon + that my leg is hurting pretty good again now. Off to sleep soon.
