Pain is a lot better , the last 24 hours i only had to take 1 advil 200 mg. It is still tough being up as the leg turns blue and it swells up. i had a bad time yesterday as my internet router went out - can you guys imagine being home with ATR and no internet ? i went out to go to circuit city and i thought it was gonna be easy . after 10 minutes in the store - i was getting really tired and a bit lightheaded . i had to scramble to the restroom as thats the only place with a seat. stayed there for 10 minutes holding my leg up( black and blue). after i recovered i scrambled for the parking lot and went home ( but i got the router) . i told myself im not going to put myself in that situation again.
Dr’s office called and i have an appointment june 11, exactly 2 weeks after surgery - cant wait but its a 2 hour drive .
i have been exercising a bit my upper body , unaffected muscles on the ATR leg and my core.

We’re like twins in this whole process.
I felt the same way going back to work yesterday. I wanted to head back home after one hour.
Good for you on exercising your upper body, etc., I haven’t even thought about starting that yet. But all my crutches movement is giving me all I can handle at this point. Got my appointment on june 12, can’t wait to see what the surgery looks like.
