UPDATE: Total knee replacement surgery and recovery. It's a long painful road.. That only just begun... It's been only one week since surgery. Pain is at level 2-3 resting, peaking to 6-7 in physical therapy or wrong movement. Progress is very slow but can be measured in small improvements everyday. The pain is bearable, but is continuous and relentless. Incision at the knee looks good, however the bruising on the thigh and the pain from that bruising is terrible and seems like it's getting worse every day. It will be worth it in the end, but it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel right now... It's too far away smothered in pain. Spirits still good, but not as openly cheerful as normal.
