Visiting Nurse from The Eddy was here for 2nd session. More of the same exercises--leg lifts, toe pumps, bending---nothing too strenuous or difficult. The only "challenge" is trying to increase the angle of knee flexion, which started at 90 degrees with goal of reaching 125 or so. She seems anxious to come here for at least 2 more visits. I told her I have appt. next Tues. with P.A. at Ortho, and I'm certain he'll clear me to drive. I read in the manual that once you can drive you're not eligible for Home Visits, but she wants to come anyway. Most likely her pay is based on the number of visits. It's OK with me, I'm very obliging that way.
The mail hasn't come, so no Celebrex as yet. I guess I won't need it. The therapist left at 1:30 and the house was empty. I got the urge to drive my car, so toured around the village. Detected no issues anywhere. I figure if I'm not on the sofa with all my potential needed items within reach, and a refrigerator stocked with ready-to-eat meals, and all of the other recovering-from-surgery aids and accommodations, there is no reason to baby myself.
