I had PCL reconstruction surgery yesterday. Woke up feeling really good due to the epideral that I was given before surgery. Shortly thereafter I got sick a few times. I got home around 11pm and slept about 2 hours at a time all night long. It is now quarter to 8am and I'm sleepy again.
As far as my leg goes, the front is still numb but the back hurts pretty good. Partly it's from being kept still and straight I think. It is wrapped from the toes to mid-thigh with an elastic bandage, over that is a cryocuff and over that is a brace. The brace allows me motion to 60 degrees, which surprised me given what I've read. It is probably partly because I went with an allograft instead of my patellar tendon or hamstring.
I go to the doctor and start PT on Monay.
I kind of keep dozing off so I'll sign off for now and write more tomorrow
