ACL Surgery - week one

So, a while back I wrote a post about how I needed surgery on my knee to repair my ACL. Last friday - one week ago today - I had that surgery. I'm one week into the six-to-nine month [or nine-to-twelve month or whatever] rehab after the surgery. I must say, I feel a lot better than other parts of this week but I've never felt more pain before in my life. Monday was a KILLER. I had an appointment with the doctor to make sure there were no complications, and everything was fine. I was in soo much pain crutching myself from point A to point B in that hospital that I couldn't even sit in a wheelchair. They gave me painkillers and a brace that covers my entire leg, my new best friend lol. Anyway. Pain literally alternates, some days I'm in the 2-4 range and some days it's definitely 9-10++. It's pretty ridiculous. I can't even bend at the knee due to the brace, and I've iced my knee pretty much twice daily and that too feels sooo good until they take the ice off. That's another sort of pain - WOW. Lol, I could almost feel a sharp pain in my knee in agreement. As of now I'm in my bed, leg straight, I'm pretty comfortable in a scrunched way, and hoping I have better news to post next week.

I'm due back in school March the 10th - I don't know if I'll be walking by then, actually I KNOW I'm not. I gave a pretty good argument for why I should stay home a third week [I only have 2 days of classes that week so I won't miss much]. But hey we'll see how this goes. My counselor called my house randing about when I'll make up four or possibly six days of christian service. Maybe someone should reconstruct her ligament so she could see that's definitely LOW on my list of stuff on my mind right now. But I digress.

LOTS of cable is the best painkiller! My favorite new show is Important Things with Demetri Martin on Comedy Central!!
