Surgery was delayed for an hour and that made the remainder of the day rough on Bob and me. Bike actual surgery lasted 2-1/2 hours. One screw, 2 plates and no weight bearing for 8 weeks. Lots of medications and knee roller.
I had thought i could lift the knee roller over our one step in the garage. I forgot I would have a total nerve block from my knee down, thus no perception of what I was doing. Also still under the influence of 2-1/2 hours of sedation. We borrowed a wheelchair and Bob dragged me over the threshold. He did doen. I was emotional and terrified.
The night was awful. Worst sleep score I have had ever I think. In the forties. Awake each hour until 5:30-6:30.
Today is better than yesterday! Poems a hilarious card from a friend, She knew I was concerned how to transfer from knee roller to toilet on one leg. The design of this bathroom is a narrow area for toilet, not quite a stall, but close.


I have mastered the toilet area in the master bedroom! I would like it master some refreshing sleep. I have books and yarn and the TV remote. I also downloaded a free audio book through our Library access to Hoopla.
Plenty of topics to pray about. Thanks for reading! Unless I feel much, much better I am unlikely to post the remainder of this week.
That sounds like an incredibly tough start to recovery physically, emotionally, and mentally. I’m really glad to hear today is a bit better than yesterday.
You’ve already shown a lot of strength getting through surgery, mobility challenges, and a rough night. Hoping you get some deeper rest soon, and that each day brings a little more ease and comfort.
