Post-Op: Day Six

6am: I woke up with minimal pain and did not take any medication. I was thrilled to feel better (and clear headed.)

Aspirin x3

10am: Went for a stroll up to the cul-de sac on my knee cart. There were a few uneven places on the sidewalk that tripped me up a bit but other than that, I got the hang of the cart pretty well. I can tell that it will be very useful for getting around once I'm feeling stronger. I got some fresh air and enjoyed the outdoors for about 45 minutes.

11am: When I returned, my ankle started to throb a bit so I took some medication. I also felt fatigued so I took a quick nap on the couch.

Percocet x1

5pm: Pain has subsided now that I'm on a better med schedule. I continue ice and lots of rest. 

My friend Shanie came over for dinner. What a joy! It was great to chat and enjoy some girl-time.
