knee surgery...

....went well.... was at the hospital at about noon, in my "gown" by 1.... sat around in the pre-op room watching tv till about 2:45. wheeled into the operating room then - on a side note, why do operating rooms in real life look nothing like they do in hollywood? i mean in hollywood movies & tv shows - o.r.'s are all sexy and dark and intimate. in real life, they are bright and cluttered and not sexy at all.

don't remember a thing after wheeling into the o.r.

woke up around 4:15 in post-op - very very very out of it.... i hate coming out of anesthesia. it sucks. all the fun of sleeping without the cool dreams or the restful waking. and then home by 6:30.

I personally haven’t talked to the surgeon, but my mom did, apparently there was a lot of "junk" that they carved out of from under my knee cap - including something that actually attached itself to my knee cap. can't imagine that was a good thing. i'll have pictures next week to share with all of you (and if your really curious, i have pics of my spleen i can show you - but that's another story).

knee feels "ok" today - just a numb feeling - it's pretty dramatically swollen and wrapped from mid thigh to ankle.

i've got crutches, vicodin & a big ol' stack of movies to watch. life is pretty good. doing a bit of work here and there too (mainly conference calls).

i've been horrible at updating sr.sl over the past month - the knee thing + a good dose of insane work has been keeping me distracted, but i've got a couple of fun posts in the pipeline and more than enough time to get off my ass and post something.

thank you for all the well wishes - they mean a lot to me. really :-)
