Day 4- On my own

Today I was home on my own and it went great. I woke up after my husband and sister left for work and made myself breakfast. I tried to stay up and watch tv and read, but I just kept falling asleep. I got up every once and a while to get some walking in and go to the bathroom. My left foot is getting swollen for some reason. I did get to change my dressing today and take a shower. It felt AMAZING! I got some pictures of my incisions before I changed the dressing. They look kind of weird because the dressing was tight and left creases on my skin.

Wow! Thanks for posting that! Glad to hear things are going relatively well:) Keep it up and I hope that you'll be well on your way to 100% recovery quickly! By the way, is this surgery supposed to make your knee cap sit straight ahead instead of inward? Or does it just help decrease pain and instability of the knee cap?

The goal of the surgery is to get my knee cap to sit in the groove correctly and decrease the pain from it rubbing wrong. It can also help instability, but thankfully I have never dislocated my knee.
