So, it's Friday already. And I'm still doing quite good and I guess the worst days are over, at least the doctors said that the first 3-4 days are going to be the most painful.
On Wednesday I watched Holiday (nice and romantic), reached my physiotherapist and started to do the first exercises. I didn't do much on that day as my knee was really stiff and I didn't feel like doing much. Though I "walked" about 500 m, I went to the eyeglass shop to adjust my glasses and to the grocery shop (where I sat on the granny bench and Tarmo did the shopping). After that I was so exhausted and it took like 1 hour to do all those :D In the evening I also removed the supporting bandages and felt free :D After this my leg wasn't as swollen as before, it was actually normal when I was laying down but immediately after I started to walk or stood up, it swelled and turned blue :F But it eased as soon as I got back on my back.
At night I woke up only once and I didn't eat any pain killers :) Though my knee was hurting in the morning then but it eased soon after I got some pills.
Yesterday I did my exercise twice and it went well, I watched Pirates of the Caribbean: At the World's End (didn't like in much) and went to shower!!! So I was allowed to remove the last bandages and change them to a "skin tape". It was really gross to remove the bandages as they were quite tightly attached on me and the dry blood was attached to the bandages AND on the stitches :F But after the shower I felt really good :)
In the evening I went to movies to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Had seen it before but didn't remember much and liked it, again.
During night time I ate one pain killer and didn't sleep as well as before, though not because of my knee but because my back is getting tired of sleeping on it all the time. I think next time I'll go to sleep I'll sleep without the pillow under my leg and try to sleep on my side, that's more natural to me anyway :)
Besides watching movies I've taken care of our house things, we're going to move in about two months to our own house! But again, more about that later. :)
The week has gone by really quickly, more quickly than I thought. I haven't got bored yet and have had visitors every day, as the "real estate agent" (don't know how to call him really) has been here with his papers every day :)
But now I need to take care of some money business.
The take home message from this is: I'm doing good :)
ps. maybe I should see a therapeutist too but actually I was calling to my therapist, as Tarmo nicely pointed out to me :D
