post op day 6

Same old same old today. I didn't really make any noticeable improvements. I used the CPM machine twice and got to 90 degrees both times. My knee is straight when I put it on the ground, now I just need to work on locking it, like I can do with my good knee. I've stopped taking pain pills every 4 hours and instead take 1 every 6 ish hours or whenever I feel like I'm in a good amount of pain. I noticed that when I sit up, like in a chair or something, my knee doesn't throb like it used to, so that's an improvement. It still throbs when I stand up though and that really hurts. Hopefully sometime next week that will stop. There is some bruising on the inside of my knee and the area around the knee is still numb. Hopefully sometime next week the swelling will go down and I'll be able to stand on it with little or no pain.

On a completely random and unrelated side note, how about that Butler game tonight? Pretty exciting win over Pitt, even though the ending wasn't very clean.
