Weak at heart need not apply...

I unveiled my knee today :o) Of course, I wasn't supposed to... but you know me! I have a brace that I have to wear from the tip-top of my thigh down to my ankle with some fancy hinges at the knee that are locked out for now to keep me from bending it. But, when I took that all off and unwrapped all the bandages and gauze... this is what I found.
Dumm... dummmm.. duuummmmmmmmm

So there's the handy work! Severl "poke holes" to peak in there an fix the meniscus, and then the incisions were to "harvest" my hamstring and then re-attach it into my femur and tibia! How do they attach it? By drilling into the bone! Sweet, eh??
Ok - so now that you feel sorry for poor pitiful me, you are welcome to send all checks, giftcards and baked goodies directly to the house :o) I'll send James and Geeves (aka Josh and Mom) to the mailbox to retrieve them. HA
In all seriousness, I am doing pretty good -- but I am absolutely blessed beyond words with a wonderful husband and mother that have been so willing to take GREAT care of me and Lily (and Graci) without batting an eye! It's not much fun to tend to other people all day long and they're both doing it without complaining. Thanks sooo much to them!!!
