The surgery went fine. I was back home by 2:00. Little over an hour later Y came home, with J following around 4:00. I was very happy to see them and very glad to be home.
While the surgery went well my recovery is going much slower than I would like. I can walk but I limp everywhere. And I can't bend my knee too well. I've spent a lot of time on the couch with an ice pac. And I'm bored and want to do something but really can't. I hate sitting still. But I'm not going to try anything until my knee is doing better.
Y & J have been great! Y took over laundry duties for me, and loves doing it. J has been amazing. He's constantly checking to see how I'm doing and asking if I need anything. He keeps switching out ice pacs for me and gets upset if I'm off the couch. It's actually rather sweet.
I hoping to be able to go somewhere, drive hopefully, by Saturday. Y & J want to see Horton Hears a Who. I'll have to see how that goes. For very personal and private reasons I'm not a fan of Dr. Seuss. But if I can drive I'll suck it up and treat the kids to the movie. They'll deserve it.
And I have to brag. Watching my kids this past week and how helpful they've been I feel like I have two of the best in the world.

Glad to hear it went well.
Your kids deserve to be bragged about!!
I am so glad the surgery went well and the kids sound like they are treating mama like the queen she is! Very good. Try and relax and take advantage of the down time.
Will you have to do physical therapy?
casdok - thank you!
marla - the only physical therapy I have to do in here at home. I have a stationary bike and I have to use it 10 minutes every day once I'm able to. That should be on Monday.
