The Knee

I am sick of talking about this knee, but today it had a starring role and I would feel guilty about not giving it it's 15 minutes of fame. We've been leading up to this for at least 3 months; every single day of those three months it has been living on Tylonol and it certainly has earned the right to have it's ordeal immortalized here.
Yes, today was surgery day and a long day at that. I was supposed to report in at noon for 2 pm surgery but got call in the am that surgery was moved up to 11, so I needed to be there by 9. That required a shift in limo service as Dotty was in meetings until 10.30, thankfully Howard and Sue came to the rescue and took the first shift of staying with me. By 10 they had me in the staging area where one is lying alone without benefit of drugs watching people running from one room to another all in maske and hair nets, etc. They finally came for me around 11 and i woke up about 12.thankfully had no sideeffects from anesthesia; just hungery and thirsty.

I will spare any more details except to say that the doctor thought from the MRI months ago that it was a small tear and he was wrong, It was much larger explaining the daily pain, I get to take off bandage and icc pack Sunday morning and will hopefully dump the walker for a cane then too,

And if all goes well, i promise to shut up about this blasted knee!
