I have survived!!!

Today is turning out to be easier and more difficult then I thought it would be.  Easier in that I don't think that I am in as much initial pain as I thought I would be in... but more difficult since I am totally non-weight bearing on my Left leg and it's a big pain in the butt (or knee)!!!

So, everything takes that much longer to do and get to and w/the crutches I can't carry anything at all.  and with no one else home to help out... it takes me a lot longer to do anything.  and easy to go foods are not all that easy...  :)

we will see, hopefully each day will get better and easier and tomorrow I can actually take the dressing off to see how the healing is going and Friday starts PT.... that is gonna be a mountain to climb in and of itself.

Well, Vicodin is calling me to dream land... time for nap...........................

Update

Got my dr appt moved up to 12/5 to find out when I have to have the surgery....  nice time to get it all done.... the next 29 days are gonna be brutal!!!

Just call me, Gimpy!

Well, I get the call from my Ortho doctor today and it's not such good news... I guess I tore everything all to kingdom come...

Outside miniscus ~ torn
ACL Graft ~ torn
Cartilage ~ torn

Sigh.... I guess when I am going to do something, I must do it AWESOMELY!!!

So, I go in on 12/10 and get to go over my options:
     1. Suffer
     2. Surgery to just get out all the ickies
     3. Surgery to totally revamp the whole thing, repair ACL graft and
     4. HAVE A PARTY!!!

Ok, not #4....  I don't really want to go into surgery, but then again with everything going on next year, I really won't be having the time next year.  My deductible met this year already (plus).  Oh, the decisions... nothing like getting laid up at Christmas.

So, I will keep a positive attitude since it has been over 15 years since my last surgery and a lot has to have changed since then.  Right?!?!

Time will tell....

TTYL,
