post op day 4

At this point, all the days are starting to blend together because I do the same thing every day. Once again, I used the CPM machine 3 times today for 2 hours each time. I got up to 84 degrees flexion, so I am making progress in that each day. My goal is to reach 90 tomorrow sometime, so we'll see if that happens. I'm still doing my basic therapy and nothing's changed there. I guess something fun I did today was get out of my parent's bedroom for the first time since Tuesday. Brett came over with lunch so I went downstairs to eat with him and watch college basketball. It felt good to have a change of scenery. I still sleep all the time and I constantly feel tired no matter how much I sleep. Must be my body trying to heal/the pain pills. Oh and I'm starting to cut back on those, only taking 1 every 4 hours instead of 2 every 4 hours. Overall the pain isn't that bad. Aside from reaching 90 degrees flexion, my next goal is to be able to walk around on crutches without my knee feeling like it's going to explode from the swelling.
