ACL Surgery Day: Back at Home

Short post. Surgery was at 830 am. I was home by 1:30. No meniscus damage! I remember nothing after the valium or whatever was put in my IV to calm me before the femur block. I don't remember the shot for the block at all. Woke up, had some ginger and was off and running. Ha Ha. Wheeling. Wheeled to the car. At home, my strong leg, a wheeled computer chair, and Keith helped me get across the house then my arms pulled me backwards up the stairs while Keith held my leg. Ate a light lunch soup, took a Percocet and slept. Cryo cuff chugging away and icing beneath the brace. Luckily we brought it with us--apparently we were supposed to so they could place it under the brace! No feeling in leg yet except hamstring is sore. Jewelry back on. :)  Kids at friends' overnight so it's date night here. Aren't I so funny on my Percocet? Later! I've read the hardest days are next...
