Asked my bosses if I could adjust my work hours to work from home each morning then go to the gym before heading into the office and they gave it the thumbs up. Walking back to my office after that my youngest FaceTimes me out for his Friday lunch with his boss showing me that he whacked $50 in the pokies and won $9700.
Great day after a disastrous start.

Wrestling has more credibility than boxing these days
And it’s more ‘real’
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

Total Knee Replacement Surgery

Week 8

A few breakthru's this week and I'm feeling on the way 'up' (finally).

Sleep is getting better. Not brilliant, in fact Saturday night wasn't great at all as I woke up in a fair bit of pain (6 out of 10) twice. I did manage to get back to sleep quickly, which is 1 breakthru. However I have had three nights where I haven't woken in pain at all in the past week. I'm still getting broken sleep, but getting back to sleep is nearly instantaneous.

The second one was that I've been able to perform weight bearing activities on the knee. Single leg squats at home, and leg extensions at the gym. Now, the leg extensions are only 2.5kg x 1 rep but I wasn't able to do this at all for the previous 2 years since I hurt my knee. The single leg squats aren't a full squat, but I am bending the knee a bit.

The third one was that the physio has signed off on me having 'full flexibility'. That means, at 120 degrees bend and 0 degrees straightening (ie, flat) Before the op, I had about 120 degrees bend but couldn't get to 0 degrees.

The fourth one is that now when I'm in bed, lying flat on my back, the 0 degree doesn't hurt any longer.

I never thought after 2 months that this would be so hard but yet so rewarding.

Yeah, biggest win I've seen at a pub, not that I venture into the pokie room very often.
