Hi Baby!
FINALLY got my knee surgery, yay! Slept later since I could, then after chores Jeff and I headed down to Coral Springs. He dropped me off and went off and kept busy for the day, while I went through all the paperwork and procedures until they put me under. Of course I don’t remember anything that happened in the operating room, I don’t even remember the operating room! They put me out then woke me up in recovery, which looked exactly the same until I noticed a different piece of art hanging on the wall. Got all my instructions, though I was still a little groggy, but they wheeled me out to the truck and I managed to pull myself in. We got back to the house and Jeff helped me into the house, which I needed. My knee feels like rubbery Jello, can’t support anything. He bought me some lunch from Turtle Tavern and heated it up for me, fetched all my essentials from the trailer, and helped me get settled into the guest bedroom. The nurse advised that I be near someone for at least the first 24 hours, just in case. We’ll see how it goes tomorrow to see if I can get back into the trailer tomorrow night, but I don’t want to rush things. I took one fall on my way back from the bathroom, hoping I didn’t do any damage to my new knee, Jeff had to help me get back up to my walker and into bed. I’ve got a load of pills to take tonight, which I’m about to do, and I’m hoping that Lola will behave, she’s curled up in her dog bed next to the bed, but you know her, she’s likely to try to sneak up on the bed during the night, though hopefully not. I’m not in any pain yet, the nerve block is supposed to last for awhile, but the nurse said I should probably take a pain pill at bedtime to make sure I don’t wake up in pain. Anyway, that’s the plan, and I’m starting right now. Love you, babe! Good night!
