Friday December 13th

i am having knee surgery to replace my ACL. the doctor is using a new technique. instead of cadaver tissue, he is using my quadricep. Less chance of rejection.

i thought pain was localized but it has not stayed in the knee. my hips, my SI Joint and now my lower back is affected, all on the same side.

i am going to be immobile for a few weeks. I am not able to drive for 3 weeks and total time to recover is 4-6 months.

I am rushing around like crazy to get stuff done and i am almost at the bottom of my list.

say a prayer that i don't drive myself crazy.

Wowsers....so sorry to hear all that.

I guess your career as a professional Irish dancer is out of the picture now....

Just kidding....take it easy and get better soon! 😘
Good surgery to you. No complications. Slow, steady healing. Do not overdo it, KH. Slow and steady.

You will have 3 weeks to regain your mental stability if you do drive yourself crazy. BTW all the best on the surgery. I thank the Lord every day that my health is still holding out.

@hippyjoe1955 LOL. i don't know if i will ever regain my sanity. being unable to drive for 3 weeks will send me over the edge
