Day 2 was much different than day 1. Yesterday I was asleep or very tired most of the day but today, I was awake for most of the time. I only slept until 11:30 then again from 3-4. I started doing some basic therapy like straight leg lifts and working on flexing my quad muscle by locking my knee. I also used the CPM machine 3 times for 2 hours each time for a grand total of 6 hours. I said that my goal is to get to 90 degrees flexion by Friday and I got to 74 the first session, 76 the second session, but only 70 on the last 2 hour session. The pain during the last hour of the last 2 hour session was pretty bad so I decided not to push it. But other than that time I don't have much pain except when I move my leg, like to go to the bathroom. Then it feels like the incision over my patellar tendon is going to split wide open, which is where most of the pain comes from.
I think that's it for today. I'll post again tomorrow night!
