MONDAY MORNING
PRAISE GOD!!
I’m going in for a simple procedure on Monday morning at 7:15 am. I’m having the Coolief procedure where they will numb the nerves by ablation (burning) which will give me some relief from my left knee pain.
Anyhoo! I’m so excited I want to shout out loud!! My covid test is negative and I can go ahead with the procedure. I made it through this whole pandemic, from the start, without catching it or transmitting it to anyone! Hallelujah!! So happy as I have really been isolating for the past 2 weeks, haven’t been outside except for labs, and only visited close friends and family who were vaccinated. And yes, I am fully vaccinated and boosted.
Now my only problem is making sure that I am awake and ready to go by 4 a.m. Monday morning! WOOHOO!!!!
As for today, I am full of energy and am going to finish quilting Dinosaur Sudoku before I get on the Top 40 Queen’s list. Yes, I stalled on it.
Catch up more later!!
I had my surgery this morning and am home. Dr. Huang says that it went well and I should be back up and around by tomorrow or Wednesday. My knee is sore right now and swollen and it will be a couple of weeks for the soreness to go away, so no dancing tonight! dang. They gave me a light sedative and I was awake during most of it. My left knee is bruised and swollen but that is to be expected, so I am going to lie down for a bit as I am tired.
I just want to say that the staff, doctors, and nurses at Kaiser are wonderful and they treat each patient with respect and as if they were the only one there and make you feel special and cared for.
Thank you everyone for your prayers and support, and even though I am a little sore, I am glad that I had it done. Will post more later.
