Day 3- the day of sleep

I have never slept this much in my life! I slept from 6-8:30 last night, then fell back asleep from 10pm until my mom showed up at 7:30 this morning (only waking up to take pills). After breakfast, I slept a few more hours. Then I slept again after lunch. And I'm getting drowsy just typing this. The good news is I'm gaining more independence. My mom was only here today as a precaution. I made lunch for myself and have been doing my exercises okay. I moved from the love seat to the long couch since I don't need to elevate my leg anymore. That has helped my comfort level a lot. I still get some sharp burning pains in my knee, but I'm also getting the urge to itch. Hopefully that means things are healing! Tomorrow I get to change the dressing and I'm going to get cleaned up, so I will make sure I take pictures of the incision for everyone.
