My Surgery...

My surgery was this morning at nine a.m, it was right on schedule and went well! The only down fall to the whole procedure is that once the Doctor got into my knee and looked at it, he discovered that when I walk my joints were rubbling together, with no cushion. that would explain some of the pain I was having... Geez! I just can't believe that it didn't show up on the x-ray, or M.R.I?? Anyways, he drilled holes in my bone to make it bleed, so I could make scar tissue to protect my knee, and have a cusion as a walk?? So, the Doctor is producing something in my knee that is the very thing that was making me in pain in the first place... humm? I guess they do this with athlete's all the time and they are up and going after six weeks. He also cleaned out the meniscus tear, and cleaned out some of the imflimation, and gave me a steroid shot. So, I was only originally supose to be on crutches for two days. Now, I will be on crutches for six weeks with no wieght on my leg at all... I'm not looking forward to the next six weeks, but I'm very hopeful it will help my pain, and it will go very fast! Tomorrow will be four weeks that I injured myself, and that has gone by super fast!!
Anyways, I was able to come home only twenty minutes after I woke up. I handled the medications very well! Which never seems to be the case!! I was able to come home and sleep it off in my own bed, and tonight I feel fantastic! A little sore, a liitle sleepy, but very THANKFUL!!!
I'm very thanful for all the thoughts, phone calls, prayers, comment wishes, messages, flowers, text messages, and help with my family! I'm truly blessed to have such wonderful friends and family....
