The Surgery

So yesterday was the day we all have been waiting for the whole month of September. Scott's surgery. Initially, we want to thank everyone for all your love. You have all been so great in sending your thoughts and love and all your calls. We have such a great support system!

Scott was supposed to go into surgery at 1:15 but they were backed up in the OR and didn't get in until 3:45. So there was a whole lot of waiting. The surgery took about 3 hours and the doctor said everything went well. His meniscus is basically gone now so he will forever have to be careful with impact on his left knee. Boo to that. Scott had a hard time coming out of the anesthesia and was a bit nauseous so they wouldn't let him leave until he could keep down his pain pills. He was pretty sleepy and out of it when they finally let me see him. We get home until about 10 pm so it was a really long day of no food for Scott (he had to fast until the surgery). Scott likes food so this was painful and we cooked him up something good when we got home. Surprisingly, he was able to keep it down!

He had a TON of pain today but thank heavens for Oxycontin! He'll be kickin' in no time.



* Please note that any pictures you see of Scott and I in the future, you will notice that Scott can NEVER make a serious face. I have really come to a place of acceptance of this and will continue to post all his crazy faces as a form of punishment.
