Knee Surgery

This may be a little graphic for some of you but I still wanted to share. I had knee surgery one week ago on July 8th. Some of the swelling has actually gone way down. I go tomorrow for my first follow up appt. to see if the dr is ready to take my stitches out. I am still not walking on it...I hate crutches. My armpits hurt and I have callused skin from the crutches rubbing. Its really terrible. Here are a few pics of my knee.

Here is the first pic. You can see where they wrote Yes on it to remind them of which knee they were supposed to cut on.

It looks swollen here but you can really see in another picture below.

Here is ther second pic...closer up. You an see the stiches and my incisions.

This is the third and wierdest pic of all of them. This picture really shows how swollen my knee is. To me this looks like these are legs of two different people. I don't even have a knee cap. Hopefully recovery will happen quickly.
