Surgery for me on Thlues ;(

[lilima]

Thanks everyone. I have been freezing meals in advance. So at least there is food that the kids love that is healthy still but low preparation.

I have actually ordered Lite n easy dinners for me for the first week, so that will help too. The kids will be away from Friday till the following Tuesday (cup day). Then DH is on a run of night shifts, and SIL will stay at night when DH is not home.

I have done shopping for DH's birthday and my dad's 70th, as I won't be able to drive to get them presents otherwise. Also I am lucky that one of the Kindy mums will drive DS.

Anyway, still not looking forward to it, and I really like the surgeon. He has a great reputation ( does a lot of AFL guys) and he is nice on the eye! (think George Clooney type.)

I hope that the experience will be better with someone who does a proper job! Good luck with it!!

My Mum has had knee operations, and the recovery can be pretty full on. Hoping your op goes as smoothly as possible and you get help with pain relief.

Will be thinking good thoughts for you.

good luck hun
FWIW i was in LESS pain the day after my knee reco than the day before i had it done.
walking unaided within a week and that was done 11 years ago
how they do them these days is amazing and so much less envasive
you wont believe how much pain you are putting up with until it is gone!

Great, you are "onto it".

brilliant - you have many bases covered.

sounds like he is getting heaps of practise, so by the time he does YOUR knee, it will be a doddle for him, easy peasy.

bonus that he has movie star looks! enjoy that!

Thinking of you hun! If only I were a bit closer, I'd come and take Miss E out for a playdate!

ETA: J as well of course...if he were there

Thanks Gigi, and thanks OP, but it is a fair way from your place!

OP done. Home now. Bit sore but ok. I had really bad nausea due to being given Codiene based meds after I told them it makes me sick. So I didn't get home till late afternoon yesterday.
I didn't get out of surgery until 9:30pm, so Thursday was a looooooong day.

glad the op is over for you, i 2nd Nai, how stupid to ignore your info about Codeine.
