I made a deal

When people say that they had swelling drained out of their knee, it infers a connotation of tapping a coconut and having the fluid just pour out. I can attest that the wording is completely misleading hoax. Today, when Doc Sterett said that my recovery would be a tad quicker if I drained my knee, I was all for it. After he pulled out what looked like a horse-needle, not so much. After having 40cc's of blood left over from the surgery sucked out, I was given a new pair of thigh high TED hose to wear for the next week. Below, you can see me sporting the new fashion before heading out for PT in front of our snow pile that is now as high as the balcony of our second story!
