Post-op PT and news

I slept fairly well last night. I was woken up every 2 hours to alternate taking the Darvoset and the Ibuprofen, but other than that I slept well. Physical therapy rocked this morning. I can do a lot more than I expected that I could.
Because of all the pre-op PT, my left leg is pretty strong. In fact my doctor, Dr. Isbell, said that I could fully extend my leg (or rather they could) on the operating table, which was rare for women (although I don't know why). And that it seemed really healthy and good for me. And, unlike when I first had the accident, I can do straight leg raises, heel slides up to 65 degrees, calf raises, weight shifting, and even put some weight/walk on my left leg. BUT I'm not going to because that will overdo :)

The polar care thing and my Darvoset rocks. I love it. The incision on the lower part of the knee, where they had to drill the hole in the tibia, that really hurts. I mean, on a 1-10 scale it's a 4, so that's not too bad, but it's a dull and annoying ache. And my stomach is being evil and feeling like puking, has been all day long so far. But other than that, I'm doing pretty well.

The other news? Address change. Everything has been moved to the new house, and that address is: . So if you wanted to send me letters or postcards or Christmas cards or whatever, that's the new address from August 08 to July 09.
I'm going to continue doing address changes :)
