Week 1, day 5: Morning

Woke up with the knee feeling better/less swollen than most days so far. Slept better. Took only one Perc for the night. This morning, going to skip Percs and see whether the pain kicks in. Took a Motrin IB as a substitute.

I managed to take a decent shower with some saran wrap around the brace and a Home Depot 5-gal bucket as a shower seat. It was a complicated orchestration of steps, but seems like it should do the job fine for now.

One benefit of the 5-gal bucket is that, unlike a proper shower chair, it moves around the tub some, which compensates for the fixed showerhead.

  1. I can stop laughing. I had surgery 1 week 5 days ago and I also used the 5-gal bucket from home depot with saran wrap too funny!
