AFTER SURGERY and update

The Day after, and an update.

The acl replacement/reconstruction definately did hurt alot worse, but i am blessed to have a dream fiance who will wake up in the middle of the night, walk me to the bathroom, make sure i pass out safely before he falls asleep and edits his work schedule so that i have the most help with david that i can. I havent quite seen my knee yet, i have a follow up appointment friday, but i can tell you one thing, THIS HURTS worse than i thought it would ever. Its definately going to take more time to do simple things, however i do find it a bit easier to get from the bed to the bathroom but still need help. David is just as much of a dream. He is so self-sufficient for his age and gets his loving side from me so he strokes my ankle and foot gently as he watches his cartoons.He loves doing laundry so helping me with that comes without saying. I havent had any friends come over yet to help with chores, but i did just get a working charger for my phone, plus im not really one to ask for charity.

I am so happy we did the california trip BEFORE my surgery cause that trip would have been extremely hard considering all the stairs my parents have in their house, in it, getting in/out of it would have been incredibly painful. I havent called them yet but I can wait, its onnly 630. Luckily my mind can be diverted by wedding planning, we are looking
into starting to buy things, just so that I have them IE self-print out
invites, my dress, finish paying off my ring, setting aside for
catering and my flowers. as long as i have my planning guide im ok. We
are aiming to have the majority money set up to just go ahead and pay
off before or by my birthday in JULY. Id rather have everything paid
off in full, than have to start panicing about where the remainder of
the money is at to pay for whats ever left.



Also in august is the family reunion, and hopefully we can get some
financial help there too. My grandmother turns 90 in august so we are
all planning on leaving for that, tim's trip will be shorter, if we can
afford him to go.So my pain can be taken off my mind by preparing even further for the greatest day of our lives, the concretement to the world of this union. I couldnt think of a better goal.

Be able to walk down my aisle, I can hardly move without hurting, but that, is great incentive, not to go overboard, but to recover as quickly as I can.
