The day that I've been waiting a week for is finally over. I had my ACL reconstructed yesterday afternoon at Lexington Hospital. The surgery actually went really well, and I didn't wake up during it (I was really worried about that). Today has been quite challenging for me, though. I'm a very independent woman, and I'm used to doing things for myself, but I've had to have help with everything today. I'm supposed to see my orthopaedist in 10-14 days for a follow-up visit. Afterwords, he'll probably set me up with physical therapy, which I'm anxious and curious about. Right now, they have me wearing a knee immobilizer all night and day. The only time I'm allowed to take it off is twice a day for thirty minutes for my knee exercises.
I just want to thank everyone for their prayers and support! It all means SO much to me!! Thanks again!
Have a safe, happy Halloween!
