Ok, went back to my doctor today and he drained a ton of blood and fluid off of my knee. He said doing that along w/my regular therapy and icing will cut out 2-3 weeks of swelling. So, if I've saved myself some time w/a swollen knee, then today's thing was awesome!
In fact, he was surprised when I told him his former partner didn't drain my knee after my last surgery on my left 2 1/2 years ago. He said it should have been done b/c it really speeds up healing and makes the pain go away much, much faster.
So, that was the basic highlight of my day! I did have a dream I was playing golf last night, so I'm guessing I'm jonesing for it now that I can't play it. So.....
...if I can be smart enough to put two and two together, I think I'm telling myself I've been depriving my thirst for golf far too long and will be out there in full force w/the clubs once I'm cleared to swing again.
That is something you can take to the bank...that and the exercising again as I'm finding the urge to do that as well.
So, lessons are being learned as I remember to take care of me again like I should have been doing all along.
