ACL surgery lessons: recognizing limits, choosing to go slower, and resetting expectations. I’m recovering well but the brain stuff is hard.

Oh my gosh, we have a tray. And. @mikegrundy brought me breakfast on it. <3 http://t.co/tscPIodOxF

I keep trying for a good pic of back-of-knee bruising (9 days post surgery) but you are lucky, it’s unphotographable http://t.co/kofqyxaDue

Dinner date. I probably could sit at the table for dinner, but then we’d have to clear it off. http://t.co/EYJ9TJC890

Glamor kitty. Ella Olga Babygoat Torturekitty Murderclaws, right after a sweet lap interlude ended by swipe of claws. http://t.co/0XKeoieFM7

Knee doc appt: stitches out, celebrating with a new ukulele and bending my leg so I can ride home in the front seat! http://t.co/lRjwPk5TEh

took off surgical support stocking to inspect my leg and it is SO bruised. feeling a little more positive abt how incredibly sore it is.

5am brought another relocation to recliner and sensation back in my knee/quad. Ow. Leg feels SO swollen, even tho it’s just a little puffed.

It’s a sweet luxury to have @mikegrundy home caring for me PLUS he also brings me lap breakfast w accidental hearts. http://t.co/2NeAmL32Tl

Day 1 post-op brings 5AM maybe I need percoset/maybe it’s recliner time blues. Sweet @mikegrundy relocates us. <3 http://t.co/6Oa8lxjCIP

On my way home from a super successful, super fast surgery. No surprises except how long I slept in recovery! http://t.co/N6ZZ0f5Fz8

Got a zillion things to do at work/prep for ACL surgery tomorrow but all I want is to go to Robbie’s Music Superstore and buy a $20 ukulele.
