2 Days Later

I am on day 2 after and things are moving pretty well. I am definitely feeling more of the pain today then I did yesterday. I had a block put in the day of surgery that numbed my leg from the hip down. It was fabulous the first night because I could not feel a thing, other then a little pressure. I woke up yesterday feeling great. My leg did not really hurt and I could not feel anything yet because the block was still running strong. Towards the afternoon I began to feel more then pressure... It began to hurt a little more. I tried taking just one pain pill instead two, but an hour later I needed to take another one. I have been trying not to take them, but I really do not want to have the pain when I am doing my leg raises and ankle pumps. Honestly I never thought that lifting my leg could hurt so much in my life. My hip joint and back are making up the difference that my leg has not been able to take on for the last 3 months. I know that this is the beginning to to my knee getting better, but it is going to be a painful road and it has just begun. Until tomorrow I will be signing off. If you have anything advice and/or criticism please share.
