My Knee Surgery

KR couldn't sleep so he gets up at 4 45 and the alarm goes off at 5, MEXICAN channel, really, and I get up.  Get everything ready, at Coast Surgery Center by 5 30, he goes surfing.  Went in and got everything ready.  The anesthesiologist is some young Chinese woman who speaks Chinese, and they kept asking me what i was having done, finally I told them a frontal lobotomy.  HAHAHA  Next thing I knew, it was 7 30 and I woke up.  Everything went well.

Kurt is called and he comes and get me.  I get up to bed and my hip is REALLY REALLY sore, the nurse said prolly because they had to position my leg on the side to do the surgery, it is the medial meniscus after all, so kind of like holding a yoga pose for 15 minutes.  Man that hurt more than the knee.  I am also queasy.

I lay around with ice most day, and the compression stocking helps.  We had Bible Study and they show up and I hobble around.  Everything feels pretty good.  I think I am just numb.  Mary comes by with ginger candy, I am queasy.  Diane comes with Hungarian sausage, spicy cabbage, and bread. We needed all the food, and quickly ate through everything.  What a bunch of nice friends.  I think they are sisters from another mother.

They gave me one Norco, and the constipation, oh man.  Didn't go for like three days.  Prunes helped a little, but much too late.  No more Norco's from now.

Let me name them:
Adele
Mary
Diane
Melissa
Faye

Just five, but they are the bestest friends.
