Monday, 96 Hours After Surgery

Slept great again. No drugs, no beer, just Tylenol at bedtime.

Do stuff, read, and balance checkbook. I am getting bored. I feel too healthy to lie around, don’t feel quite ready to go to work.

Go to rehab early afternoon. Nice guy, Jason is my Physical Therapist. We do some range of motion stuff and he measures how where I am now. I get 100% extension, which is very good. And, I get an 80 degree bend with no assistance, 90 degree with help. That is VERY good. That is really the goal for 11 days from now. So, I am happy about that.

Spend the rest of the day doing mostly reading.
