Feeling pretty worn out. Had my follow-up appointment today. I graduated from gauze and ace bandages to band-aids. I haven't dared look at the leg yet, but Mike made sure to take pictures when the doctor had all the bandages off. All I know is that I've got a big green and brown bruise, and a few staples. Dr. said it looks pretty good compared to others he's done. I should probably get a Frankenstein costume to match the leg.
I have an appointment Monday to get the staples out, and I need to make arrangements to start seeing a PT. I can start using the knee - there's nothing I can do within the normal range of movement that's going to cause any damage. It's just going to hurt like a bitch. I can even ditch the brace for any time I'm not standing.
I love this office I've been going to, even though it's all the way to Mercy. I wish they also had a GP operating out of there, because I'm kind of sick of the bullshit from mine.
Dinner will be ready soon. I've been on a "I don't feel like eating" diet lately, it's been interesting.
