Shoot. I got scolded.

I went to my physical therapy appointment today for the second time. I told the therapist about the heat coming off the knee, and she most definitely agreed. After fiddling around with my knee she said that I’d overdone using it, and have caused swelling/fluid build up behind my knee. I guess it wasn’t too hard to tell since there is a giant freaking buldge of skin right behind my knee that forms a giant ring. If you poke it the buldge is firm yet squishy.
Anyway, so I’ve been told to stay off it, shoot guess I shouldn’t be in the computer room with my leg on the tower, but I’m going to have to stay home from work again until Friday. She made it pretty clear, either stay off it, or instead of six weeks of recovery look at six months. I have another evaluation on Thursday but until then she said if I didn’t take it easy the swelling will get worse, could cause infection, and either way will halt healing. Apparently my quad hasn’t started working right yet in order to flush the fluids out. Did you know after an operation like this your muscles STOP working? I had no idea. At least I didn’t until they started hooking electrodes up to my leg and shocking my muscles for 10 minutes at a time. It’s freaking weird I tell you.
So I’m kind of bummed, but at the same time I guess I get to finish my Microsoft Robotics Studio book, and continue reading the Miscrosoft certification exam books. Twenty more pages to finish the MSRS book, and I’ve got two more certifications books to skim through before I’m ready. Here I come Mr. MCSD & MCPD.
