No infection and day 3 of Physical Therapy

So, the Physician's Assistant said there was no infection. She removed the bandages and said the swelling was probably scar tissue and that I should be gently massaging both sides of the incision. She suggested the tenderness could be from the dissolvable sutures creating the puffines. So, with the bandages off I'll have to update the photos later.

Wow, another day of therapy another stretch/exercise added. Luckily, the soreness and stiffness is more related to muscle weakness but there is still some tenderness behind the knee.

I finally made it home after picking up Greyson from the groomers, not without its own drama, and am icing my knee down. I'll do my at home regimen here in about an hour and ice down some more.

Now, for the drama while picking up my dog: after letting him do his business we made it to the car door. Here is the scene: miniature schauzer on leash, me on one crutch, in a parking lot with moving vehicles. I open the door and go to take a step closer to put my crutch in the vehicle and low and behold Greyson runs under my foot.....and of course gets stepped on....he yelps, I jump and land on my good foot (luckily), since I was favoring my left foot due to therapy. Oh yeah, the crutch...it falls backward. I am glad to say that Greyson and I both made it in the car and back home safely.

So, the saga continues.....
