Well here we are on the first day of 2010, man does time fly!

An update on me - I had my surgery on Tuesday December 29. Everything went well with the surgery itself. I now have to deal with the aftermath. My knee is swollen, and black and blue. I have to wear this brace for the next 4-6 weeks, only removing it to bathe or work my leg out on this contraption that got delivered to my house. I have to put my leg in this machine called a CPM (continuous passive motion). Basically it moves my leg slowly from a straight leg to a bent knee. My goal is to get back to at least 90 degrees in my range of motion. I'm at 60 degrees now. I guess I was fortunate to wait so long to have the surgery, it allowed my muscle in my leg to get stronger again, thus allowing me for an "easier" recovery.

I really didn't wish to ring in my new year like this, but with three children, I needed to get through the holidays before the surgery. I know now there is NO WAY I could have been like this and tried to go Christmas Shopping!! LOL!

Keep me in your prayers for a speedy recovery! I need it! I am not one to just lay around and do nothing. I want to get moving!

Hugs, and a Happy, Healthy New Year to all of you!
