Knee Surgery Redux
x-posted to Fb/LJ
In a little over an hour, I'll be heading in for knee surgery to replace my torn ACL. (Yes, the other knee, this time.) I'll be out of surgery sometime this afternoon: barely mobile, heavily drugged, and ravenously hungry. They don't let you eat or drink after midnight of the day before, you see, in case you turn into a gremlin.
For the next three weeks I'll be on crutches and in a fair amount of pain and, as they say, not in my right mind. Then I'll be heading back to work and physical therapy, but I'll still be barely able to walk, stand, sit, or lie down comfortably. And I'll be using a cane for quite some time.
I plan on watching lots of TV for the next few weeks. That's about it. I probably won't be able to answer emails promptly, let alone go anywhere or do anything more active.
I will miss you all!
