Out of hospital already yaaaay.
My roommate was non-annoying!
My knee is Not Too Bad (tm). I currently have very mild pain (sitting on the couch, no weight on it) but then the Panadol will have worn off - it's worth noting that my pain is currently manageable even when walking on mere paracetemol.
It also no longer makes crackling sounds when it bends, which pleases me and which the surgeon said was a good sign.
Apparently there was some developed roughness under my patella, so they shaved that off all smooth or something. Then they did the "lateral release".
I am tired, due to not sleeping that well in hospital, although more than I did last time due to non-annoying roommmate (although someone a couple of rooms down needs to see someone about his sleep apnoea) and also having had ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png) velithya and myfyr bring my pillow from home to sleep on. My pillow is nice, I'm used to it, it's the right firmness and the right thickness, it smells right and not of hospital laundry, and also, isn't plastic.
(The pillows at StJoG Subi are decent, for hospital pillows, at a good point between soft and firm, etc, but they still have plastic casings because otherwise they'd have to burn them after single-patient use due to risk of infection transmission. So their nice, soft cotton pillowcases are still nice, soft cotton over plastic, which is never, ever going to be as pleasant to sleep on as My Pillow.)
So I managed to get actual sleep, despite things like being woken at 2am to have my blood pressure checked.
(The saga of my b.p. during my stay: Slightly high for the first few, then 124/87, then something like 120/57, and then I was released. >.>)
