First day of PT, one week out

Nearly fainted at Union memorial Sports Medicine today. It's not a good feeling when your knee has been locked straight for a full week, then someone unwraps the bandage and asks you to move it...And it doesn't listen. The swelling is gross and mushy so it simply felt strange, and fortunately I am a person unaccustomed to my body feeling strange. I had to ask for a cup of water, and lie down on the table. At least twice. Embarrassing. Not quite as bad as nearly passing out from the eye drops at the eye doctor in front of a really cute young doctor, almost passing out during my first glucose screen, or actually passing out into a chair while leaving the hospital after one of our prenatal appointments for Kate. What can I say? I'm a bit queasy!

But I survived. And I went to the gym after, but shouldn't have. Still got some work in though, and really trying to keep up with my progress...
