So I'm new to this blogging thing.... I had knee surgery a week ago. The first week went by with a lot of pain but also a lot of pain meds and company as my husband took the week off to take care of me.
This week my husband went back to work and the kids went to their dads so it is just me and the dogs. I thought the dogs would be some sort of company to me but the damn things sleep like pissed off teenagers....I swear they can sleep like 20 hours a day when they aren't barking at absolutely NOTHING!!
I had a follow up appointment yesterday for my knee surgery and they checked out the incision, took some X-rays to check for damage (I'll explain that later), gave me a note for a handicap parking pass (score!) and re-filled my pain meds (double score) and a note for setting up therapy. The doc was about to hand me my papers and I thought I was on my way out the door and FREE!! Then he said he was sending his assistant in to pull my staples out...........WHAT?!!!!! CRAAAAAAP!!! All freekin 26 of them.
So the possible damage was from the oxi-cotton the doctors had me on. I guess that can give you some strange dreams and I would wake up with a huge JOLT as I was just falling into a deep sleep and I twisted me knee and caused it to bleed but no "damage" to the parts they put in so all is good other than the swelling set back and the fact that I am no longer taking the two other Oxi pain meds that I was on.
Tomorrow is my first therapy appointment.
