happy belated 4th

Not that I did anything for the 4th lol. I watched my neighbors grill out and then be idiots running to and from another apartment in the CRAZY AWESOME thunderstorm. And I wactched other people try to get off some fireworks before the rain got too bad. Rikku and I watched the storm on the porch for a while.

So my leg is progressing. I can bend it much farther. I've been going around braceless ever since the PT really. It's nice not having it on so much. I've been trying to ice it more, but for some reason I just keep forgetting :( And I try to do my exercises at home. My PT apt tomorrow is at 3pm I believe. We'll see if I've improved since Wednesday. I've been watching movies, watching Rikku, relaxing, watching storms, surfing the net... I talked to Chris a few times, but they're off on a crazy tour for a week since yesterday, so I won't talk to him until this coming weekend. Oh, and Hancock (the new Will Smith movie) is okay.

Sorry I haven't been posting as much. But honestly, there really isn't much to say. I'm improving. It only hurts if I do something too fast, or my leg is bent sideways or extended to fast too hard. I had to dash out to put up my windows before the rain (well.. it was already raining lol), and that was a little much to hobble job/run lol. But it's okay.
OH, and thank you to Grandmamma and Grandaddy for the little carepackage of cherries and chewys lol. It was very sweet. I'm not a big fan of the cherries, but regardless ;) And I already had a Chewy bar--love those things! Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. I'm all right, and I won't really need them until surgery.
We'll see how that swelling goes. My knee is still too big to be a normal knee lol, so we'll see.

Onward! Watching Twister (an old one!), Rikku, and hopefully another storm!

At a party next door, a neighbor told us that he has had ACL surgery on both knees successfully! He chose using the hamstring both times. It is the same technique Tiger Woods used. Our neighbor is 40 yrs. old, an athelete, regular golfer, etc. Thought I'd pass this on to you.

Thanks! My only worry with that one is that I'm not and never have been into sports nor very strong or athletic, so I wouldn't want to take a graft from a place that isn't that strong.
Both knees though... WOW! That's definitely a story. I hope not at the same time!
Did they happen to say anything about the allograft (from a cadaver), and whey he didn't choose it?
