Knee Update

The surgery is done.

I was in quite a funk yesterday morning, as the surgery just loomed over me. Then we were about to walk out the door and received a phone call that the Dr. was running late and we could stay home for another hour before coming in. Ugh. I just wanted to get it over with.

But at 12:30 we headed on in, and by the time we got there they got things hopping right away and I was prepped and ready for surgery around 1:30.

I woke up around 3 and heard the report that everything had gone just fine.

They did have to remove quite a large piece of my meniscus, so down the road in about 20 years it may not be much fun as I will quite possibly have to deal with arthritis in that knee....but we're not going to worry about that for now!

I can already tell a difference when I put some pressure on it. It doesn't feel loose and wobbly anymore, and the pain is minimal this morning.

I head in this afternoon already for a physical therapy session and I guess some further directions about what I can and can not do with it for a little while.

Chris's Mom arrived last night and will be with us here until Saturday the 24th. Maybe I already mentioned that on here.

Blame it on the pain pills.

My children will be arriving within the hour. I can't wait to squeeze my boopshins!
