Day 5:  Pain is still manageable.  I get a little concern when I knock my leg into things, but since it has not hurt too bad when I do that I am hoping it is no big deal.  

I have successfully cut my pain meds in half without bad effects so far, but I will be monitoring that a bit because I know pain can sneak up.  

The itching under my leg brace is getting a bit much, but I can't really complain if that is one of my biggest problems.  

Worked with the CPM machine for the first time yesterday for two hours at 60 degrees flexion.  It is kind of relaxing.  The PT thought I was already at 70, so I can quickly increase the CPM to 90 pretty soon, just doing 5 degrees a day.  

Really happy with my decision so far.
