This surgery has proven to be the straw that broke the camel's back. I guess, as my friend Sandy pointed out to me yesterday, I am expecting a lot from my body to go through so much so quickly. Perhaps. I am just anxious to be up and running again. I was warned that this surgery might not be like the last one, and now I know they were correct. I shall have to be a bit more patient with this process of healing.
The surgeon said everything went well, and so I just have to deal with the extra pain this time around. Actually, my knee looks better than last time...less bruising, but that has nothing to do with what goes on inside the knee.
I am sure it will all work itself out, I am just weary of such a long period of my life being tied up in surgeries, medications, pain, fatigue, etc. I have to fight off depression along with all of this, and some days, I don't fare so well.
The days get long when I have no energy to do what I want to do, and life seems to be racing by me. Oh well, it is only one week since surgery, so I need to take it easy, right?
Love to All,
Mary
