The coxyx pain machine

That's just a fancy way to say that this thing is the biggest pain in the butt!
For the first week, I have to spend 6-8 hrs in the CPM machine, an evil contraption that passively moves your knee to prevent scar tissue buildup. Usually, the procedure is to do 4-6hrs, but I suspect that Doctor Sterrett doesn't want me to do anything else.... Makes sense, since it just dumped and I was thinking about how hard it would be to one-ski powder :) Above, I put the machine in the car on the way back from Vail so I could knock off a few hours. It may prevent scar tissue in my knee, but by next week, my back might be one big glob of scar tissue.
