Its here, Last day. Going to bed early worked, Up at 4 am and wide awake. Headed to the shower, no line in fact the only person that I saw was a nurse. Nice and quite and now I am clean, feels good. Back to the room and shaved my lip, oh ya, clean, shaved and raring to go. It is now 6:30 and I am waiting on breakfast. --- Breakfast over and the nurse came in and gave me a printed list of the meds, which was all Greek. As a result I ask her to tell me what each was so I could put an explanation beside them, such as "stool softener". And now I know what I am taking. A little after 9 and Dr Standley came in and was more than will to stand and answer 20 questions. I think I have them all covered and am ready to do it on my own. I did ask about the new pain on the under side of the knee, he said that is the ham string and it is a good hurt as it means you are starting to stretch it out to where it belongs. It has been a long time since you straitened the leg and those hamstrings out where they belong. As for walking, the more the better. Your other knee is shot so your not going to do any damage to it, the main thing is just how much pain you can stand, the more walking the better. As Dr Standley left the room he said, " See you in a few weeks for the next one". -- Thought about getting everything packed and ready for heading home but decided to put it off until after first pt. having something to do during that three hours will make the time go faster. First pt went fine. Got the bend to 90% and the flat stretch down to 5. -- After lunch which came fairly quick and it was the best lunch I think that I have. Good timing, my last lunch. After lunch the nurse came in with the sign out papers. It took an hour to pack my stuff to head home. Had everything waiting when I headed to my last pt. The last one was a work out but went fine. Red was waiting when I finished and we gathered my stuff and headed out. Getting into Reds vehicle was easier than I thought it would be. Went through the Pharmacy drive thru picking up my meds and headed home. We did take time to go by where my pt will be in the morning. - Stopped at the grocery and Red went in and got me some chocolate and white milk along with some English muffins. Now home, really tired. Have my pill bottles lined up on the table. --- Fixed chicken noodle soup for supper and for sure going to be in bed early. Signing off for another day.
