So, basically my knee hardly feels like it had surgery at all. I took painkillers for about four days and weaned off. While there are some aches, throbs, and shooting pains, it really hasn’t been that bad. Unless I push too hard and get woozy. The most difficult, frustrating part has been being locked at 0°. It’s like dragging around dead weight. For a few days, my upper quad / groin area was so overworked from supporting my leg that it was super painful. 

But all in all, I’ve mostly been reading and sleeping (and healing!) a lot. I see Dr. S tomorrow and then go to my first post-op PT appointment on Wednesday so we’ll see what the game plan is!
