I got back from the hospital on Saturday. I had to stay for an extra couple of day's because I had a fever & couldn't piss, both of which are normal. It's cool because I wouldn't have been able to take care of myself around the house anyway.
The knee surgery went perfectly. He was able to repair the cartilege & ligament. There's no arthritis to the femur, so I should be ok. I'm chewing on Vicodin every 4 hrs. I have an evil device to bend & straighten my leg for 6-8 hrs daily. I get the stitches out Thursday. I have to call the doc today to see when I can go back to work.
I'm not feeling sorry for myself one bit. In fact, I'm feeling extremely fortunate for all my friends and family who are stepping forward to help me from paying for the surgery to driving my ass around until I can do so myself.
No one lives in a vacumn. If you realize how much we rely on the kindness of others, you will see how little we actually do 'alone'.
