WARNING: Pictures of my incisions are at the bottom of this post. They’re not that bad. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, though.
It’s hard to believe we’re already at day 6. It seems like my surgery was just yesterday. There’s not much new to report today.
I continue to practice walking with the crutches, and the swelling of my leg seems to be going down. I’m starting to get pretty restless just sitting around all day and I can’t wait for the OK from the doc to get back to quasi-normal activities.
This lifestyle may seem lax, but at the end of each day I am physically exhausted. Just getting myself around the house and performing basic life functions takes way more energy when your leg isn’t functioning properly.
Tomorrow is my second trip to PT, and I will be sure to report how that goes.
Below are the pictures (as promised) of my incisions. They’re not really too gross. The black stuff is all just stitches, not blood.
