If I only knew,,,,,,,,

that knee surgery would be soooo rough,,,,I would have taken better care of them.  Today is day ten,,,,and not so good of a day,,,,was up most of the night,,,,,,,,in so much pain,,,,I'm determined to get off the pain meds,,,,,,,,and didn't have any for two day,,,,but PT with home health was pretty grueling yesterday,,,,and I should have taken some meds,,,,but didn't ,,,so I paid for it by getting no sleep.  Therapaists say I am doing well,,,,,,,,,I know I am getting around well,,,,but still can't bend it all the way and I have terrible bruising all around it.  I will have to say that the knee itelf is looking good,,,and,,,,no pain,,,,it has about 20 staples still in it,,,,but I suffered so much pain before surgery,,,it's good not to have any now.  But the pain is where the muscles were tampered with and where the tourequet was.  They say I will have full use before long.  We'll see. 

Today is my 62nd birthday,,,,Happy Birthday to me,,,,never thought I would live to see 62,,,,,,,I thank God for each one that he gives me.  I feel very old today,,,,wonder if it can be because of no sleep issue last night

Down to the crunch time,,,,,,,,,,

Well,,,todays the 5th,,,,and tomorrow is surgery on the ol knee,,,I sure do dread it.   So much can go wrong,,,,,,,,,,,but sure hope it feels better,,,,I have really been in a lot of pain lately,,,,,,but I have a high tolerance to pain anyway,,,,,,,,,all this pain and no medicine,,,,so that's a good thing.  I have laundry done up,,,,house is all cleaned,,,,refridgerater cleaned out, garbage out,,,,almost all packed,,,have to take enough pajamas for hospital and Sky,,,,,,,bills all paid,,,,,,dogs food is out for the week,,,,looks like I have thought of everything,,,,,,,now,,,to get a prayer though for God's watch care,,,,,,,odd how we always leave him to the last?  But we know he already understands and knows our needs before we do.  Talk to you after surgery,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
