    Are you supplementing with more acetaminophen?

    No, I don't have any of that. Just ibuprofen.

        George, you've spent too much time talking about country music. Put on some Haydn.

                Doing well, thanks George. Taking the acetaminophin as you described. Also realized I can lift my leg by wrapping my hoodie under the calf and pulling with my arms, so I'm a little more independent. Won't have to wake up my wife several times a night to use the bathroom. Eventually I'll be able to use my good leg to support it but the pain does not allow for that currently. I can't help but activate the bad quad when I try to do that. Anyway the pain is getting better every day, and I won't need the full supply of opioids.

                              Slow progress, thanks George. It's my understanding that right about now is where the repair is most fragile - the sutures have partially dissolved and are no longer as strong, but the healing hasn't started to any significant degree so you don't have that holding things together either. So I'm trying to avoid any overconfidence and am still being extremely careful. Took off the dressing last night for my first post-surgery shower and it's pretty ugly. I'll have another 6" vertical scar on my knee, a matching pair now. But the pain isn't bad anymore, as long as I don't move. I'm looking forward to being able to sleep on my side again, since I'm a side sleeper, but the pain doesn't allow for it currently.

                                Tendon injuries require healing an immobilization. As you said, this is the "weak" period where you're hoping that scarring is setting in, letting the tendon heal.

                                Thanks for the update.

                                    Slow progress, thanks George. It's my understanding that right about now is where the repair is most fragile - the sutures have partially dissolved and are no longer as strong, but the healing hasn't started to any significant degree so you don't have that holding things together either. So I'm trying to avoid any overconfidence and am still being extremely careful. Took off the dressing last night for my first post-surgery shower and it's pretty ugly. I'll have another 6" vertical scar on my knee, a matching pair now. But the pain isn't bad anymore, as long as I don't move. I'm looking forward to being able to sleep on my side again, since I'm a side sleeper, but the pain doesn't allow for it currently.

                                    Just remember...

                                      So, how're you doing?

                                        Getting better slowly, thanks George. I can swing my leg up using my other leg as support now, so no need for my wife's 3 AM help with that. Next milestone will be taking the brace off and walking the dogs, which will be in 2.5 weeks if everything goes to plan. I can flex the whole quad now, rather than just the inner part like before the surgery, so I'm optimistic that the repair is intact. (I only flex it very carefully and lightly of course.)

                                          Good news.

                                          Tendons, as I've said, need to "scar down" to heal and maintain integrity. Their blood supply sucks. If you exercise or stretch them too soon, you risk disrupting them all over, with a much less satisfactory prognosis for healing.

                                          Take it easy.

                                          Follow your doc's instructions. TO THE LETTER.

                                          Thanks for the update/
