Acl Recon- Patellar Graft

Fairly uneventful day today. Changed the dressings after a shower again... all looks to be healing well. Looking forward to getting the stitches out. Getting bored of them catching and pulling on the dressing 😑🙈 Did some heat & ice therapy a couple times to circulate the swelling and badness away from the joint.  Knee felt fantastic after until the swelling slowly returned a few hours later from exercising but it was quite nice to feel how strong the knee feels when the swelling was minimal. Pain is hardly worth noting... Just a dull ache most of the time.  I will note when I sit at 90 degrees I notice a weird pulling sensation around the graft fixation points..more in the femur, to be expected I'm sure but still a bit unnerving!  I was ensured it would take a lot of force to pull the plugs out of place. 👀 I'm not going to test how much though! Extension/flexion much the same if not slightly improved and the bruising is coming along lovely 😆

Shock it's raining again... really pleased I'm laid up right now! I'd be absolutely raging if I was just sat unable to work because of the weather! 😑 Another great nights sleep 10 hours broken up by meds at 2am & 7am 💪🏻👍 Think today will be very similar to yesterday.... as I approach end of week 1 post Op I'm ahead of where I thought I'd be, so don't believe it wise to push too hard as the last thing I want is any setbacks! 😬 I'll update again this evening... Nomis Alfie Loves his sleep 😆🐶
