I survived surgery and everything went well. Dr. Thrower said he fixed up my medial and lateral meniscus, which had small tears by snipping out the parts.. and of course he fixed the Acl. He said my Acl has been torn for months. This makes me think that I skied the whole season with a blown knee without knowing it.
They did a nerve block on my leg so I wouldn't feel pain but I don't think the guy nailed it because you aren't supposed to feel anything after surgery and i felt pain. I remember from the last one that I didn't feel anything the first day except numbness. But either way the pain killers they gave me are doing the trick and im not really in too much pain at all. I have a pretty bad sore throat for some reason. Ive been sleeping all day and listening to music, and finally got up around 7p.m. To watch some t.v. And type this. I got back from the hospital at 10 a.m. I think. Dr. Thrower and all the nurses were nice and that made the experience good. My mom has been very helpful since then on. I have no appetite. I've eaten crackers and a fruit smoothies today but I just can't even think about eating anything more substantial. I'm so happy surgery went good, and can't wait to get better day by day.
