Tonight I'm sitting in front of the television, post arthroscopic knee surgery, and relaxing.
Something about this seems...odd. Yes, I have a big bandage on my knee. Yes, it's wrapped in an ice pack and elevated. Yes, the crutches are laying on the floor next to me.
But where's the pain?
I can feel a tiny little sting above the knee -- fairly minor, really. There is a little stiffness, which could be swelling-induced (impossible to tell, under the bandage) or it could just be the layers of wrap around my leg. But honestly, I expected some serious pain.
Haven't had a pain pill since I came home twelve hours ago -- not even a Tylenol.
Maybe I'll pay tomorrow, but so far I feel like dancing a jig!

Okay, it dropped some today. The knee is more painful, weaker, and swollen. But I'm still managing to stay off of painkillers, elevate and ice. Should get progressively better from here.
