How is the recovery going?

The dressings-allergy thing really put things back, I am not as far along as I should be, sadly. However the stitches are out, I start PT Thursday, and my knee is only 3 times it's normal size rather than 5. I actually drove my car across the parking lot to the dumpster today to dispose of a box and it went fine - so things appear to be on an upwards swing. I am still not cleared to drive, but I figure they have to err on the strong side of caution on this (and I've a manual transmission). I figure I can drive when I can get in and out of my car without my knee complaining - as it stands I COULD drive short distances, say a mile or less if I need to do so.

Thanks for asking

So I continue to improve, no more drugs, physical therapy has begun. This wrap is about 30% completed, and will obviously require some intense blocking when the time comes. It WILL, however, be quite warm! How could it not be, it is a merino wool/silk blend It won't be done before I return to work - at least I really hope so! Photo is interesting, parts of the pattern in this image appear to be reversed but that is not the case. Odd, but that doesn't much matter. I noticed a similar, yet different, oddity in the original photo I posted.
