Knee update time! I'm home from the surgery, we got back around 4:30 this afternoon. The surgery went well, the surgeon said the ACL work went great. He wasn't able to sew the meniscus back together though, I had shredded it to bad. So he had to cut out the bad stuff and I'll need to be growing some new.
Other then my normal freakout about needles when they put the IV in, the whole experience was pretty painless/easy. I was pretty loopy when I woke up, Rosie said that I was asking the same questions to the nurse over and over, but otherwise I'm good. (NOTE: Rosie says I'm still loopy)
Right now my knee is still numb from the nerve block they did, so the real fun comes tomorrow morning when it wears off. The whole nerve block is pretty weird, I can't feel anything anything from my mid-calf to the mid-thigh, but I can feel my toes and foot. A part of my tongue
When I'm a little more mobile, I'll scan some of the pictures they took and post them. They are kind of interesting in a weird way.
