Today is the first day I have the CPM for the entire day. And over the course of the day I'm able to get all 6 hours in and increase the incline up to 45 degrees today. Most of time in the machine goes ok, its funny seeing peoples reaction to everything I am hooked up to. The CPM on my leg, the Ice Man inside my pant leg, and of course this laptop on my lap.
My dad came down to see me today, braving the Cleveland snowstorms and sat with us for several hours. Unfortunately most of the afternoon I feel nausous.. the combination of sleep deprivation (3-4 hours a night) on top of not having my normal generous appetite is starting to wear on me. For dinner I force down large bowl of pasta and I start to feel better that in combination with the ginger ale has seemed to ease my queasy stomach.
The pain has eased today somewhat, moving down around a 6 or 7. The CPM has seemed to do its part in removing the stiffness. Today is the first day I've felt confident that I made the right decision undergoing this surgery...
