day 2 with the new leg

Sunday, February 13, 2005

didn't sleep well last night
but then again, i didn't take the morphine
i fear addition more than i fear pain
strange, isn't it

and i'm no big fan of pain, believe me

i'm flexing the knee like a fiend
it didn't really hurt until i hit 80 degrees
and even this was only uncomfortable
and i get up and walk around the house every hour
putting weight on it and trying to bend the leg
using a normal walking motion

which is laughable, as i don't have anything
resembling a normal walking motion normally

J&J were very dear to check on me all weekend
even as they were enjoying an incredible Vermont getaway

one of the worst things about acl surgery
is that i am forced to sleep on my back
*with my leg in a constant motion machine*
it kills me to sleep on my back
i've never been able to do it
without complaining
and i sure as hell ain't gonna start now

I totally understand the fear of addiction verse pain conundrum. Go with Pain it is much shorter.
