The last of the freezing the doc put in finally wore off and the swelling kicked in around lunchtime. The swelling is what causes the most pain and discomfort in the first week from what I remember, but that's why they prescribed me pills for the inflammation and also pain killers in the way of Percocet. I tell ya, those Percocets are powerful. I wanted to catch up on some reading but after downing two of those I can't seem to concentrate and follow words on a page. Not only that, I'm ready for a nap about 20 minutes after taking them.

Did some exercise today, if you can call it that. I unwrapped my splint, tensor bandages and gauze and tried bending my knee back and forth while sitting on the futon. Not bad, I think I bent it about 45 degrees until the swelling and pain constricted me. I did 3 different exercises with 10 reps, 3 times today just to get things moving. Everyday it will definitely progress. The wound doesn't look too different than my last one as you can see below.
