Starting a few days after surgery, elevate the leg with the ACL injury above the level of your heart. Elevation will help reduce your swelling. Using pillows to elevate your leg is fine, but don't put the pillows directly under your knee; this can limit your range of motion. For the first few days or weeks after surgery, you may find that you need crutches in order to move around effectively. Don't push yourself too hard: use the crutches if you need them. Once your dressing is removed, you can shower, but do not immerse your knee until your doctor says it's okay to do so. Depending on your schedule and the kind of job you have, your time away from work or school will vary. In general, someone with a desk job may need only a couple of weeks off; people with more strenuous jobs will need months. Talk to your doctor about your specific circumstances, and make a plan. After surgery, you will likely have physical therapy (see below). For the first few months after surgery, do not do strenuous activity outside of this physical therapy. As always, check with your doctor about your particular circumstances and how much activity you can allow yourself. In general, you should not drive until you are no longer taking pain medication and no longer relying on crutches to get around. You should also have good control of your knee. Typically, this takes at least a week or two.

Summary: Elevate your leg. Use crutches. Stick to showering. Discuss your return to work or school with your doctor. Avoid strenuous activity outside of physical therapy. Use caution when beginning to drive again.

Don't brush your curls because that will create frizz. If your hair is tangled, you can go through it gently with a wide toothed comb. It might also be a good idea to have both of your hair ties on your wrist, ready to go. With a wide tooth comb pull little strands of hair out of the bun. You can also just play with it until some hair falls out. This will keep it together for the day.

Summary: Start with dry hair. Touch your bun up, if needed. Grab your hairspray and spray a generous amount of hairspray into your hair. Finished.

Check out different trends that are on the catwalk lately. Look through some magazines to see what you like and dislike about this season's dresses. You might also look at what celebrities are wearing to red carpet events, and use these things to inspire you but don't fret if you cannot match their looks, these are just for inspiration. Start looking at fashion magazines and stores as early as three to four months before your prom. Use the internet and take notes on your favorite styles. You may just be able to find a similar prom dress in your local boutique. If you don't, don't fret. There will always be a pretty dress somewhere out there. For your prom dress, look for precious, fine and luxurious fabrics such as satin, tulle, silk, chiffon, organza, lace and velvet. Be sure to allow extra cash for small accessories like hair clips, pantyhose, and make-up.

Summary: Get some inspiration. Look for precious fabrics. Plan your budget for your prom dress and begin saving as soon as possible.

Remove any labels from the bottle by soaking them in hot water and then scrubbing or using products like Goo Gone. Once the labels are removed, clean the inside of the bottle with soap and water to remove any powdery residue that may have accumulated. Use anything from beans to corn kernels to create rattling sound as your kitten bats the bottle across the room. While most pill bottles will have childproof (and kitten proof) lids, it's always a good idea to fill the bottle with edible items just in case your kitten manages to open it. Secure the top tightly before letting your kitten play with the bottle. If your bottle doesn't have a locking lid, you may consider gluing or taping the bottle shut to prevent the contents from spilling out. It's always important to keep a close eye on your pet when it plays with toysespecially homemade ones. You may also need to retrieve the bottle toy if your cat happens to bat it under a sofa or somewhere it can't reach.
Summary: Find an empty medicine bottle. Add some noisemakers to the bottle. Put the top back on. Supervise your cat while it plays.
