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 😆🐶
