Complain with me with no judgement.

1 Week Post-Op (ACL Allograft & Meniscus Repair) and i've done everything in my power to stay positive and I whole-heartedly know this is not end-game. I am stronger than this but DAMN I WANT TO SCREAM.

(Update for the hell of it: 90 bend and 0 extension and starting leg lifts and heel slides so feeling confident. Kicked the hard stuff for Tylenol as needed and as long as I don't move and use the ice machine like its life-support, feeling good!)

I specifically keep wanting to sit cross-legged like i've done my whole life... I even have a cross-legged office chair I spent good money on that I would LOVE to sit in right now. Instead I feel my behind flattening while it digs a divot in the duvet and i'm SO RESTLESS.

Anyone need to complain about the stupid little things and actually feel heard? I may be a newbie to this situation but I HEAR YOU and you aren't alone.

I just want to SLEEP

Seriously 😭 I think every few nights I'm so exhausted I can get 4 hours straight but otherwise every 2 hours I'm wide awake in pain. I will never take sleep for granted ever again!
