August 17, 2018 Day 3 Post-Op PT Appt

Last night was a little better then the night before but not much.  Kev stayed in Alicia’s room with me  so he would be there if I needed anything.  Of course it was easy for him to fall right to sleep lol but I’d end up helping me out.  I reached a point that I was hurting and couldn’t sleep so he put me in my CPM machine and that calmed my knee down and I was able to fall asleep.  I got a little frustrated cause I was hurting pretty bad and just wanted to sleep so there were some tears before I could doze off.
Once I got up Kev made me some breakfast and then pretty much we went to my PT appointment.  It was pretty much an evaluation with measurements to see where I was starting plus did a few exercises.  I almost said easy exercises, which in a few months they will be but right now they hurt like hell.  I worked with Scott today who was really nice but set up my future appointments with Austin who I worked with on my last knee rehab. Scott said I was off to a great start but for some reason these days I am super emotional and was crying while he was doing my massage.  I’m feeling frustrated already cause I can’t do much and it’s hurting so bad.  He reassured me it’s going good and that it’s also only been 3 days since my surgery.  While sitting there getting iced I still had the tears flowing again not sure why but they just keep coming.

Once we got home I was totally wiped out.  I wasn’t feeling good at all so I went and layed down right away.  Meredith came over to visit and we just hung out in the bedroom since I was wasn’t feeling good.  As the day went on I felt a little better but ended up falling asleep while Meredith was here so she left so I could rest.  Cheryl and Ron brought us enchilada soup for dinner which was yummy.  I pretty much got up to eat and then back to bed.
