Surgery plus five days

[unixronin]

Just checked the remaining dressing on my knee.  I conclude that leaving it open without a dressing at all for most of yesterday was the right thing to do, because the upper suture that was still bleeding slightly yesterday did not bleed at all yesterday evening or last night; the gauze sponge was clean when I took it off.  Right now, it's a little swollen again after having the Ace wrap off for several hours; as soon as I get lunch for the smalls, I need to go lie down for a while.

Progress continues.  The sutures still itch, though, and anything that torques my knee axially hurts.

If you don't want me posting please say so and I'll go back to lurking.

Not at all, it's just that most people who read either my journal or cymrullewes' are linked to us through someone we know personally or who we share a community with. So it makes us curious when someone shows up out of the blue. :)

(Well, relatively out of the blue -- the only common links are Howard and Sandra Tayler, and, well, I think THOUSANDS of people read Howard.)
