My tape job

So I've been going to Physical Therapy 3 times a week.
Things have been going quite well.  The object of all this is to get my range of motion back.  I can't straighten my leg out and I can't bend it all the way either.
They ultrasound my ligament, stretch me out, and work me over.
I ride the bike.
At the end,  they put these electric stimulators on my leg above and below my knee.  These are suppose to trick my brain so that I don't feel the pain so much....DOESN'T WORK.   So they fill this pillowcase with an ice bag.  It is heavy.  They lift my heel off the ground and place it on a hard rolled up object, then turn up the stimulators so it's like shock treatments, then place the ice pillow on top.
This is the part where I want to swear and hurt someone.
This is my tape job from yesterday.  I think it is one of her finest's.  I was really swollen yesterday...even a month later.  We figured it was because I tried to do too much the day before (vacuuming).  (Dang!?!)
That sun better come out soon!
