Day 10

Sleeping was slightly better Saturday night, but I still can't sleep on my stomach.  When I first try to walk, the Frankenstein walk predominates.

As you can see from the picture, flexion has improved somewhat, due to reduced apparent swelling.

I decided to go to back to the gym for my first "real" workout.  I normally would start with a 10-15 minute run on the treadmill at about 7 mph.  Since this was not an option, I decided to wait until the end of my workout to do some very low resistance cycling on a recumbent bike.  The rest of the workout (shoulders, triceps, abs) seemed to go well, though my limp was quite noticeable, and somewhat of a conversation starter.

I went to bed early knowing that the next morning would be my first day back since the 8th.
