The Surgery Is Over, Let the Healing Begin


I am eager to get going at this point. The sooner my knee is rebuilt, the sooner I can get back to my active lifestyle.



Life is still good. My IVs have not yet been put into place. The first attempt was extremely unsuccessful. No, I take that back. It was a PERFECT example of what NOT to do. The nurse pushed the needle straight on through the vein. The back of my hand began to swell and I could clearly see that something was definitely wrong. Shoot. Ray Charles could have seen that something was wrong. So, a second nurse came in and put an IV in my other hand. Very successful. Goodie. However, the just prior to the inserting of the lead line, blood spurted out all over the floor. Lucky for me, I didn't actually see the fountain. I saw the puddle after the fact.



Here I am immediately after surgery. I am feeling no pain. Don't I look good?



Kelly.....wake up....
Huh? Wha?



Back home. I don't even remember having this picture taken. I'm still looking good, though. Hahahaha...it is to laugh.
