The Surgery

Surgery was Monday.  After waiting an extra 2 hours, I don't remember anything from when the sedative was administered in pre-op.  The pain pump was a relief for the first 2 days.  That was pulled yesterday.  Today I'm feeling a lot more pain.  I have a pain in the back of my knee as well.  Hamstring???  I think it was aggravated trying to be careful with the knee.  It's been difficult trying to find a comfortable position.  At least I had a shower today.

I need to start moving a little more.  And I'm trying to stay OP as much as possible.  I really want to get back on track with the weight loss after being off plan for the last several weeks.

I got my shirt and bib for the Austin Race for the Cure today.  I knew that I wouldn't be able to walk, but it still hurt a little.  I also got the invitation to the Brunch afterwards.  That will be fun.  I enjoy being with the Taylors and Slays.

A bad thing about being at home is watching the daytime tv.  I have been watching the home and garden shows, but I have also been watching shows about adoption and having babies.  It makes me realize I do miss not having kids.  Hearing about Grant and Angela's success with getting matched with a new mother makes it seem so easy.  I know better and I know that I'm really too old to be thinking babies, but I still wonder what if...
