My Right Patella Recovery

My Knee Today

My knee is finally getting a lot of its range of motion back. I was able to sit indian style on my bed without having serious pain. This is a definite improvement from even yesterday.

I am still having struggles with straightening my leg and getting up in the motning and after a nap. My knee freezes up and refuses to go straight without a lot of pain.

I am headed to the bath now because a hot bath seems to help tremendously. After that I am going to get my cold pack out of the freezer and place it on the knee. I treat my knee with both heat and cold sort of like the icy/hot cream they sell on the store shelves. I just do it the cheaper way.

For now this is where I am at. Maybe, I will be able to put this journal away in a week or two and call it a chapter in my life.

But, for now I'll see you tomorrow!
