Day 1 - Post Surgery

Well,

Sleep was near impossible. There still isn't much pain, but I can't really sleep on my back. I drifted in and out of sleep most of the night. The nerve block should completely wear off today, so hopefully the pain doesn't get worse. The biggest problem I have is that the muscles in my leg don't listen to what my brain tells them. It's extremely difficult to bend my knee or lift my leg up without using my hands to move it. I think this is normal, but will check with the nurse today. All in all, I am still extremely positive and excited about getting better. My mom just dropped off some pancakes, so I am gonna eat them now while I do another 2 hours on the CPM machine.

More later,

Z
