3rd day post op

I stopped taking the pain meds yesterday and just relied on some extra strength Tylenol. So far I feel a lot better waking up this morning and there's no more nausea. The knee still needs the ice packs and although it's painful to stand on it initially, it usually subsides and I can walk around (with crutches)

I'm also practicing walking without crutches and just the brace, I go about a snails pace, but I'm hoping to hit 1meter / hour by tomorrow.

The doctor also confirmed I shouldn't be bending my leg until 7-10 days after surgery so that the sutures won't break.
