home after surgery~

after a pit stop at starbucks, i was home from the hospital by the early afternoon and in bed...
see my latte, lol..

surgery was great but i woke up in tears worried about seeing our patients at work next week..

what the heck was that all about, i was really crying and had to pull myself together.

i have never had anything like that happen before coming out of anesthesia..weird, huh.

my nurse julie made me a light lunch and has kept me on schedule

with my meds and icing of the knee...

she did manage to slip away for a bike ride

under the guise of picking up my meds at the

local drugstore...lol

she has had to rewrap my bandage several times as i keep getting out of bed to fetch things to keep me busy and of course she doesnt know where my art things are, lol..

isnt this green stuff they put on my leg fabulous, i swear i am turning into the wicked witch..

i love it on my foot..

i want to thank all my friends and family here and in facebook and in blogland

for all the well wishes, cards and flowers..

you really all mean the world to me and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy

(and thats not the vicodin talking, lol)

xox..

Me, sneak off for a ride? No, never...the line at cvs was just really, really long...really. OK, so at least it was a quick ride. You were quite the trooper today and surprisingly a mostly compliant patient...xo

I'm glad your surgery went well. The crying is a natural part of coming out of anesthesia - it happened to me when I had my wisdom teeth pulled - sobbed for no reason! I'm glad JJ is taking care of you, as is Vera, I see! Take care and heal soon!!
