Hello, Everyone! I wanted to touch base and thank everyone for the well wishes. The surgery went well and I'm hanging out in my bed, hooked to a cooler that feeds icy water through a tube to a wrap around my knee and drugs (yay, Percocet!). (Photo Credit: sick doggie)The surgical center and surgeon were stellar. Everyone could not have been nicer, answering all of my questions and making me comfortable. They followed up yesterday with phone calls to see how I was doing and making sure that I was following my instructions (believe me, I am!).
Brian's been my hero, filling my ice bucket and bringing me coffee in the morning, keeping me company and bringing me dinner. What a guy!
My goal at this point is to make it another day without a shower. Tomorrow is THE day...I'm dreaming of taking a shower, really! Then more rest until I follow up with the doctor next week. I'm just doing a lot of sleeping and keeping my knee raised.
Don't forget about the contest! I can't wait to see what makes its way to me!
Hugs! Robin
