Another two days on the sofa

Sunday was, you know. Stuff. I laid around, finished a cross-stitch, and didn't do much. I ate. I slept all the way until 7 and then was comfortable enough to laze in bed for another hour. I took a shower, which was another adventure. I can't wait until it's no longer an adventure to do so.

Yesterday was more stuff. The day started out really uncomfortably. I woke up uncomfortable. I couldn't GET comfortable (hip? leg? knee?). For whatever reason, after I got up, used the bathroom, and came back... I was a lot more comfortable. Good better best. The other oddity on the day was that some of the swelling has drained to one side of my ankle. Not the whole ankle. Not the foot. Not my toes. Just the inside of my right ankle. It's still a bit swollen, but earlier it was even greenish like the fading portion of the bruises. (There's a lot that's not fading)

Otherwise, uneventful.

However, rumors are that there's been a (right) kneecap exciting. Ooh. Aah. It's weird, because the kneecap WAS moved during surgery (since the bone was, it only makes sense)... because you know where your kneecap is, right? Well, it's not QUITE there.

Today was fairly uninteresting, except that I've been granted/allowed myself more freedom. And by "freedom", I mean "go to the bathroom without an escort." Man, it's an exciting life.

But it's a good healthy recovery, I suppose. I did try to cut my pain pills in half, last night, at bedtime. I was uncomfortable and it took me awhile to fall asleep, so I don't think that I was quite ready for that. Oh well; it's not like I'm so busy during the day that I just don't get to nap!

Big day tomorrow, as a friend is coming over for the afternoon. Woo.
