Post Surgery

Sorry I haven't posted for a while life has been pretty cRaZy. I will post pictures of my Hawaii trip on here in no time but I thought I would catch you all up on my surgery info. Well for most of you that knew my MRI said that I was going to have a meniscus repair and maybe a partial ACL repair. Well so much for greater technology. When I came out of surgery the sweet little old nurse said, "Now Honey your ACL was worked on that's why your in so much pain." Remind you I am barely aware of my surroundings so my immediate thought was this sweet old lady has lost her mind and thought I was someone else. Well she didn't she was right. When I finally realize that my college career this year was over, I started freaking out and screaming at her.
"Well what did they replace it with?"
"An akilis"
When she said that I felt my left leg and it was wrapped up in badges, so I began to panic either the stupid doctors had done the wrong leg or they took my akilis off of my left leg either way I was going to kill them.
"FROM WHERE AND WHY IS MY LEG WRAPPED UP? WHERE'S MY MOM I WANT TO SEE HER?" I screamed
"Well Sweetie (at this moment I really wanted to hit her the next time she called me sweetie I was done with the sweet talk give me my pain killers and my information and I would be fine.) I'm not sure let me read your report. Your doctor talked to you already about this."
I was floating on Cloud eleven at that time, I don't remember ANNNYYYTTTHHIIINNNGG...
"The report says it was a cadaver and we are getting you pain killers, I don't know why your leg is wrapped up and no your mom can't come back here yet."
When I heard I couldn't see my mom I about lost it, then two seconds later I was out again cause the drugs took there effect. Except between the time they got me into my hospital room and then, I woke up cried asked for my mom and drugs and fell back asleep. I think they would have felt more sorry for me if I was the actual age I was acting not a 22 drugged up wuss. I finally got got to the room... no mom, still in pain, and still not quite sure why my leg was wrapped up. I later found out I was wrapped for precaution of blood clots, my mom was getting my drugs, and they were now getting a machine to where I would give out my own dosage of pain meds about every ten minutes if needed. I didn't like staying over night cause my male nurse got to help me pee. Pride is not something they hold high in that hospital let a lone modesty. My two new nurses that came around six were idiots. I had to re-wrap myself because apparently she hasn't gone to school and learned that wrapping an ace bandage from top to bottom can actually cause blood clots instead of PREVENTING THEM. All in all though surgery went great, I didn't throw up until the next night which is a great improvement for me and I am learning to get a long with my crutches, pain killers and them don't mix very well but the couch has a nice imprint for me every morning:) I am doing great and recovery is well on its way!
