One week!

Not too swollen, right?

Well, it's been a week and a day since surgery. Things have taken a drastic turn for the better after I decided to completely stop taking the Percocet 2 days ago. I can't say I was entirely prepared for the pain in my knee but the ice cream, pizza, and cookies I was finally able to eat helped ease my pain. I am on Tylenol, which helps a little. I have to say that the pain of the knee is better than constant dizziness and nausea. So, while it's not ideal, I think I can live with it.
Tonight we went out for the first time since surgery. We had a date to get sushi. It was exhausting and my leg wasn't too happy, but if anything is worth pain and exhaustion- it's sushi.
I have my post-op appointment with my surgeon tomorrow. I have a million questions for him, mainly because he came in and spoke to me while I was still groggy and medicated, so I don't remember a lick of what he told me. Hopefully he'll be happy that my leg is at fully extension, too. We shall see!
Oh, and my gluten-free diet charge failed epically. As soon as I started ralfing, all I could stomach was bread and crackers. I'd give myself an A for intention and a C for effort.
