The past three days
It all started on Monday when I was supposed to get to the hospital at 10am for my ACL surgery around noon to noon thirty. Becky, Katie, and Owen hung out with me until 11 when Katie needed to go to gymnastics.
So I continued to sit around. And around. And around. Finally at 2:45, I am moved to the pre-op room where I get my IV, and cool white bloodclot pantyhose on my right leg. I am moved to the OR at 3:20, and then don't remember anything else until about 6 probably. I had no issues with the anesthesia.
Becky and the kids showed up about 6:30. We were trying to get me out quickly because Jamie had been selected to say the pledge of allegiance at a school board meeting I think. She needed to be there at 7:15. We left the hospital at 7. We fly out to Wiley and get her there with a minute to spare. While she was in doing her thing, and I'm semi-passed out in the front seat, Katie tells me that she needs to pee. So we hang her butt out the passenger door of the van and let er rip.
Dropped off prescriptions on the way home. Got home, and I fell asleep immediately. Becky got the girls and Owen to bed and then took off to pick up the prescriptions at 9. She got home around 9:30 and then headed upstairs to sleep in Owen's room for the night.
Yesterday was pretty much a lay around and do nothing day, but I'm not feeling all that bad. Heck I haven't had a Vicodin since 8am this morning. Becky had a shitty night last night, and hopefully tonight will be better.
I'm very thankful to have her around taking care of all of us.
