Day 10

 First night with new pain meds, that's the best I've slept in a while.  It definitely works better, but I worry because of all the  talk of addiction and abuse.  It is nice to not have the hurt in the background all the time though. 

  I hooked up the new rope and pulley system like Andrzej wanted.  He showed me some things to do when he's not here, to get some motion going,  Different from the methods that everyone else uses.  I'm glad that he adjusts his treatment to the patient, not just the same protocol for everyone.  He has my right knee bending to 90 degrees with difficulty, and the left one, by myself, bends to 110 degrees.  That's gotten better in just the last few days with only massage treatment.

  I felt really good doing all the new things, and really encouraged by the progress.  But now tonight I'm paying for it in pain and swelling, even through the new pain medicine.
