Aug. 11: Monday: Good night

Got through the night with usual wakefulness, but did not go to the bathroom during the night. That is a first since the surgery. Wonder why? Less fluids from swelling decrease? I feel close to walking without crutches, but gait is much better with them. And no pain meds now.

PT feels I should go to five days a week, not three. Extension down to 7° today. Dr. C. comments that the thick plastic piece should affect extension, not flexion. And he says that gains here come in fits and starts. Flexion seems stuck at 90°. PT also feels that taking an oxycodone prior to PT is a good idea.
