For all of you who care, my surgery went well and I'm doing well. I'm already hobbling along and should be able to walk soon, but I still have to use crutches as a precaution. And yes, I do have pain pills (No, you can't have any, Alli). I'm starting to get rather bored just sitting around though, which is a huge bummer. I guess I'll continue my schoolwork for now. I was planning on watching the videotape of the surgery to see what my doctor did, but unfortunately it didn't work and there was only snow when I tried to view it. He smoothed my cartilage, but he also did something to these bands I still had in my knee that are supposed to go away when I'm younger. i go back to the doctor in nine days so he can check up on me and get me started on physical therapy (pain!).
Amid all this my sister's birthday was Friday. She ended up shopping with my mom for a bit before coming home, and we all relaxed at home before going to dinner at Macaroni Grill. As always, it was quite tasty. Her big present was going back to Seattle to see her college friends and spending time with them. She comes back Wednesday.
That's my news. Hope you're all doing well!
