Day 2 at home. The night was rough, I finally took a pain pill around 2 to be able to sleep, just could not get the knee in a position that would let me sleep. After the pill I slept good and woke about 6 am. Arose a little slow and it was 8:30 by the time I finished my little breakfast. -- A little after 9 I started some of the exercises, starting with the ones I had been doing on the parallel bars, changing from the bars to holding on to the sink in the kitchen. The squats seem to be improving, however, bringing the leg back toward my rear is not getting very far off of the floor. I guess at first it did not get off the floor at all so there is some improvement. Once done with this set of exercises I put on my shoes and headed out on a walk. I doubt if in reality I walked very far, but it took me 1/2 hour and felt like just under 2 million miles. -- Now lunch time and I am not hungry . Waited a while before going, but I needed to fill the truck gas tank for tomorrow and while out I got a 6" subway sub. Red stopped by the grocery for some things and offered to pick up some things for me, he brought me 2 banquet pot pies, one chicken and one turkey. Something easy to fix and small. --- After the sandwich and a while sitting doing nothing it was back to the exercises. I started this time with a long walk, up to get the mail and down the far side making a big squared off circle. Then into my room with the mat and the 6 torture exercises. They actually went pretty good, better than 30 minutes after walking for 45 minutes. It might not sound like much, but it takes it out of me I and will be hitting that bed early just to get my leg in a comfortable position. During the day I have had time to play words with friends with several rivals to include Alieta who had the two knees done at the same time. Hope her rehab is going good. -- Going to upload this calling it a day, Till Tomorrow.
