New Knee Day 1: One day down.

I'm all tucked in to my hospital bed. Immobilizer brace on to keep my leg straight overnight.
It has been a long day. Good news on rehab department- I was able to control my pain level and get in two Physical Therapy sessions and one Occupational Therapy session. 
OT is concerned with making sure I can take care of everything I need to - like getting into a shower, putting my socks on, etc. 
PT made sure I practiced stairs and walked with crutches plus they ran me through some incredibly not so fun exercises straightening and bending and lifting my leg. I had great range of motion numbers! 3 to 110 degrees! Big high five!
Now though I am knackered. I'm going to try for a good nights sleep.
