Just hangin' out

Knee surgery is done, now it's sit still and wait!!  There was more damage than expected so I'm a little more sore and will now have a longer recovery period, but I must say I have the most wonderful husband and kids taking care of me.  I had some bone fragments floating in my knee, cartilage fragments, the mass they removed, and some damage to my knee cap so some grinding needed to be done on that!!  I am doing well though so continue the prayers for a speedy recovery!  At least our kitty is cuddling with me and keeping me company!  :)

Here we go again

Remember the picture of those crutches I posted a little over a year ago??  They are about to get put to good use again.  The growth that was removed from my knee 12 yrs ago has returned so I will go in for surgery later today to remove it once again.  I have what is called PVNS and what it does is creates this rare growth and causes me all kinds of issues - creates brittle cartilage that can lead to all sorts of problems.  I have found out that this is actually a rare disease with no explanation as to why I have it, but I will get to enjoy this the rest of my life.  So, if you could all say a prayer for speedy recovery, that would be excellent!  I don't do well being stuck in one spot for very long!!!!!  Oh, and say a prayer for Chad too - he's in charge for the week while I'm in bed!!!  :)
