Hello!
Just a quick note to let everyone know that my knee surgery last Wednesday went well. They went in and shaved off the edges of the menicus that had torn. The doctor found the damage from my rheumatoid arthritis wasn't as bad as he'd thought but he smoothed out those areas as well.
Today is the first day I've been able to get back here to my computer... well, to the internet connected computer! I'm so glad I have a laptop for reading and watching movies and such. I haven't felt much like writing... not sure the drugs I was taking would have produced anything readable anyway! :)
I can't put ANY weight on my right leg so I hop around on my walker - mostly from my bed to the bathroom and out to the living room. It's amazing how tired I've been from all of this! This room was just sort of hard to get to and I was sort of scared to make the journey until today... I do NOT want to fall. Tomorrow I go and see the doctor and then I can put 25 pounds of weight on the foot... not sure how that will work, but we'll see. Even if I can just balance myself it will help a LOT.
runnerbeast has been a sweet angel through all of this. I don't have any family in this area and so she spent the first few nights here and has been over every day changing bandages and fixing me food and doing laundry and numerous other things. What a wonderful friend!
