Wow.  What a Packers game last night!  They’ve got a lot to live up to, if the first game of the season is that good!  We had our Packers duds on, of course, so now I’ll be asked to wear them for every game this season.  Agh.  Oh, and yes, the play that took Aaron Rodgers out of the game (temporarily) was pretty painful for me as well!  Ouuuuuch!  I could just feel my new knee throb in pain when a Bear landed on his and forced it sideways!

Anyway, I took my first shower since 9/4/18 last night. No, I wasn’t stinky, the sponge baths work OK, but there’s nothing quite like a real shower. Sandy covered the bandage with a plastic bag and medical tape, and it held up pretty good.

I also weighed myself since a few weeks before the surgery just to see what direction I was going in. Turns out I’m up 4 pounds. I wonder just how much of that I can blame on my new metal and plastic parts… 2 pounds, maybe? Of course, then I’d have to also factor in the pieces of bone they had to trim off of the leg bones as well.  Ah, nevermind.

My therapist says she’s been going easy on me, which is standard for the first couple sessions, then she ramps things up, so this week should be a lot tougher. Uh oh. The belt-assisted leg pulls are pretty painful as it is.  She’ll be here at 8:30 this morning to get started.  Bring the pain, woman.
