baby steps 7-24-10

- Mornings are the hardest. the pain is the worse when I get up. but eases up once I get out of bed/ take a pain killer. 
- I feel bad. I wake my mom up in the middle of the night at like 3 a.m. because the ice in the ice cooler that is connected to my leg melts and my knee starts feeling like it is on fire. 
- t.v. sucks pretty bad. time to read a book tomorrow. 
- I still haven't showered yet :)
- I had 3 friends come over which was nice but a little exhausting. the pain killers make me really tired and i have to fight off the drowsy feeling and be social. but it was SO good to have people come over. (thanks Matt, Steph, TG !!)
- I still have no appetite but am eating more substantial stuff.
- I'm always really cold, I think because of the cooling pack that's always on my leg
- last night i couldn't sleep because I kept having involuntary twitches in my bad leg that would be painful and wake me up. I think I got a head of myself by sleeping without the brace on. After I put the brace back on it felt a lot better and I fell a sleep.
- I raised my leg today and got to 65 degrees on the CMP!!! = progress
