Recovery

All went well with the surgery. I am, per doctor's orders, "a couch potato for three days." I have been on the couch or in bed since getting home yesterday afternoon. I slept for about 6 hours last night and then slept another 3 hours this morning.

Have been catching up on my email - 46 messages!! And also reading up on Andrea's latest adventure in South Africa. It sounds, and looks, like she is having a lot of fun and learning a lot of great things.

I am off work until 8/18, so if anyone wants to chat, give me a call or try to catch me online. Ed is home all week to paint and take care of Justice. Daddy and Lori are heading down Thursday for the weekend.

Surgery

I am having surgery on my left knee on Monday, July 28th. The procedure is scheduled for 11:30am. The doc says that it has to be done, or it will keep getting worse and I will be back for a more serious surgery. Right now, there is a lot of loose cartiledge under the knee cap and it is irritating the knee cap with every movement - which is causing pain and swelling. The procedure should only take 25 minutes. I am slated to be off work until August 18th, but it could be longer depending on whether the surgery is as easy as he hopes and on whether the recovery goes well.

I just wanted to let everyone know what was going on. Ed will be home for the week, so I am not alone and Justice can be taken care of.

Not Much to Report

Ed was home for the weekend. We had to go to a wedding on Sunday. It was outside and it was HOT!

No bites on the house - AAUUGGHH!! Ed will, hopefully, be home all next week so that we can get the exterior painted and the kitchen wall painted. I have started packing boxes, trying to be optimistic, and we will more than likely get a realtor involved at the end of the month.
