I decided this morning and afternoon not to take my pain pills. Instead, I just took Tylenol. My knee is still sore but it doesn’t have that stabbing pain that I was experiencing a week ago. I think I will still take a pain pill tonight before going to sleep so that I fall asleep better. I feel pretty good about everything, though. I’m not pushing myself. I’m still at the house, resting, keeping my leg propped, and walking as well to keep the blood flowing. I sure don’t want to risk blood clots.
We’ll see where all this takes me.
I know that it will take me to the doctor’s office next Thursday (a week from today) for my follow-up appointment. I’m hoping that he will be happy with how I am recovering.
