Recovery Day #2 - Sunday, October 26, 2008

Much of the same as yesterday. Watching movies and t.v. :-) Actually, just dealing with controlling the swelling by constantly elevating it with pillows and icing it with my trusty Iceman unit which runs ice water through a line and into a flexible pad that I wrap around my knee. I fill it up, rather Julie fills it up about 2-3 times a day with new ice. My knee is very warm tot he touch because it's trying to heal itself so it feels so good when cold water is pumped around it. I tell you this Iceman is a miracle for anyone going through surgery of any type like this. I've lent this thing out to about 3 other guys and it has served them all well. Better than dealing with frozen peas which don't stay cold for long...and who wants to eat those afterwards anyway?

I didn't take any pics today but I thought you'd enjoy this shot me when I got home and onto the Percocets. I probably still had some morphine in my system too. I pretty much would've listened to anyone in that state and that's why Julie made me pose like this :-)

Look at all the pretty colours...is that the Koolaid guy that just crashed through the wall?
