Knee surgery

[Pax]

Catrin, I'm horribly allergic to tape so my surgeon used this stuff: http://www.amazon.com/3M-Medipore-H-...xgy_121_text_y It was amazing, no blistering and peeling around the wound, and I could keep using at it the same place instead of playing jigsaw around the sore spots.

Thanks Pax! No blisters and so forth, thankfully, just very ugly colors, itching and some light burning. It was very obviously not bruising, though that is starting now. I think I'm in pretty good shape all things considered, through for some reason I wasn't expecting things to be happening behind my knee. Well, of course there is, don't know where that assumption came from Regardless, looking forward to meeting some friends for dinner in a nice Greek restaurant very close to where I live in another week and a half, hopefully I can drive by then

Thankfully I can handle good old-fashioned gauze - both the vaseline soaked and plain varieties - and the compression sock/tight/thing holds it in place. Things are improving though the skin problem put off PT for a week - but I get to start doing LIGHT exercises this weekend

So what am I doing to keep my hands and brain occupied? Netflix becomes less attractive as I get to cut back on the drugs. I am going to try to share this picture I just took from Instagram and crossing my fingers that all of you can see this Can't seem to actually post the picture but the link will work. If anyone knows how to do this from Instagram or Photos please let me know!

BTW, this is only my second knitting project. Ever!

Nope, the picture doesn't show... and here I was, all excited to see what knitting on drugs would yield.
