ACL Surgery Post Op Day 8...Happy Anniversary

So here it is my 16th anniversary and I'm home alone.  Okay, okay, this was planned. My oldest, Grace loves soccer and a month ago we promised to take her, Hope and two friends to the ODU women's soccer game tonight. Then, we would go out Saturday night for our anniversary. Well, the ACL tear changed the plans. I can't sit longer than a half hour in a chair without getting soar and that's with my leg straight on another chair. So no game for me. But we didn't want to disappoint Grace, so off Keith and the girls went.

I'm going stir crazy at home. I did my exercises twice, as directed, and each time it took about 40 minutes with my added abs and upper body. Other than that I did some chore stuff around the house and went up and downstairs twice. My big outing was to walk to the mailbox with Hope and watch the girls outside for a bit.

I was able to bend my knee quite a bit more today so that was good. And the wake up calf and knee pain was less than it has been. I'm still really tired though--part of the healing? result of not great sleep because of the brace? Not sure.

That's it for today. I'm going to watch Girls and Homeland while they're out!

Here is Keith and myself on our wedding day:
