Knee Surgery and Beyond

Well, I had my surgery. I had a tendon put in my knee from a cadaver, I am hoping that whoever owned that tendon before was more athletic than me, so I can at least be semi-athletic!
I severely underestimated how much this whole procedure would hurt. Wow is this painful! Stretching the tendon out is a long a painful procedure. After three PT sessions and home exercises I am able to bend my leg to 105 degrees, not enough to get along well, but a lot more than when I started. I think the person who owned this tendon must have had legs the size of a barbie doll! I still need a whole lot more stretching in order to be able to function normally again. I hope I am not rambling too much, it looks like I am running out of pain medication! Crap!
