Hey everyone!
I just wanted everyone to know that I am home now from surgery. We got home around 11 am and I've been perched on the couch ever since. I have a set of lovely crutches, beautiful bandages, and a cool new toy. Its an ice knee brace that is continously cooled by this tiny cooler of ice.
So I know what you really want to know is what the doctor found. Dr. Galland said the lining of my knee was producing extra cartlidge and therefore extra fluid around my knee. He scraped out the extra cartlidge, drained the fluid and repaired a small tear in my menicus. He says it will be 72 hours before I can take the bandages off and before I'm really able to get out. Visitors are welcome to come by though!
Thank you for all your prayers and support today!
(Please forgive me if there are grammar or spelling mistakes, I'm still not 100% in the head)
Love,
Shannon

"a prayer for owen meaney" is a pretty good read. its by john irving.
kinda like the wonder years meets forest gump set in the 50s-1990s.
the tale of friends growing up.
