Rough Night, Rough Day

OK - the last 24 hours haven't been much fun. The night was still pretty much pain free, but I was unable to sleep with my leg in a brace and propped up on a bean bag. The day started with intense pain and the realization, that I couldn't do much with my leg at all. Even just changing position is extremely difficult.

Still, things are looking up and the last few hours have been much more bearable than most of today. My surgeon called after dinner to see how I was doing and he confirmed that the first two days will be pretty rough. I'm hanging in there...
