Day 11 post surgery
Woke up today feeling that the pain in my knee wasn't as bad, but it was still there.
As is usual with my days of bludging, I got off to a late start, but aware that my parents had gone out early to the doctor's. They would come pick me up at 10am for yum cha, so I just bummed around on the net and had a shower.
It was interesting sitting in the passenger seat of my car. I guess this is how my friends saw it. Maybe it was just me, but my dad's driving was pretty noticeable. And maybe I'm just a hooligan, but he drives way too slow, and in a careless "I don't give a F" way. Another thing that irked me was his braking at the last moment and also not slowing down enough at speed bumps. I cringed everytime my baby hit that bump hard.
We went to a Chinese restaurant in Hurstville. I bet everyone thought I was crippled since I was limping without a crutch. I really missed yum cha, it gave me the idea that maybe I should go with my friends next time.
I haven't been out with my parents in ages, and immediately I felt the 'inferior' feeling when with them. Mom irked my dad by pretty much going out to get something as soon as we got a table, lol. She's like that, the world has to wait for her, but she can never wait for anyone.
The food was pretty good, so many things I haven't had for a long time, I even forgot the name of one of them. Another thing I realised was how bloody expensive it was. I think it's much better to just have toast and orange juice for breakfast.
Afterwards mom went shopping, dad went to get stuff for work so I browsed through the shopping centre there. My main idea was to check out that store with the nice $10 ties, but they didn't have many on the rack. I also noticed that they were all quite large towards the bottom point, which seems kinda old fashioned now. Had my taste changed since my last visit here?
I pretty much walked through the rest of the shopping centre while waiting, and bought three packs of chuppa chups for $1 each at a discount store. I had so much time left I waited near my car at the car park, because I was worried someone might hit it and drive off, which looked a bit dodgy to those who walked by.
On the drive back, my dad asked if I wanted to go to Eastlakes with them. I asked if I could be dropped off at home first because I was feeling tired, and my mom said it would be on the way.
Then why ask me for???
At Eastlakes, I stayed in the car and had a bit of a nap while they shopped. It was a nice nap. I wanted to clean part of the car when we got home but it looked like it was going to rain.
I don't think I will need the crutches form hereon, but I still walk only one step at a time, especially up and down stairs. The actual pain inside the knee seems to have gone, but I am sure if someone banged my knee it would still be there. Hell, today when my dad stepped on my foot lightly I had a big reaction.
The pain from the wounds are still there, and the bruise at the foot seems to be getting smaller. The hamstring pain is still there, but I feel that maybe it's let me go a bit in terms of giving me more leg movement in range.
When I do the exercise with my knee pushing against the towel, I no longer have that 'shock' pain in my knee as I did when I first started them. That was pretty bad, but in a way, I miss it.
