I'm glad to hear you had it done and came out ok but I'm sure sorry you had it worse off then expected. I'm like you, I enjoyed people waiting on me for a change but sure did miss the joy of cooking my own self.<g> Just take the drugs they give you to keep you comfortable even if they seem too strong. Your body needs the down time to heal.

18 months after Sue had her first knee surgery, two weeks in the hospital and 3 months in bed, she was back to a cane and walker. A second scope surgery done by another Surgeon showed one meniscus was buried in bone and the other missing. He fixed the one and made a new meniscus to replace the missing one. In at 8 and home at noon with only an ice bag needed for pain. The next day she was walking the dogs. I have no idea what a meniscus is but they must be pretty important. Sue's mother had her knee replaced when she was 60. She was walking the next day. That was about a 3 day stay. It used to be they'd last about 15 years, no idea about how long they last now.
