Knee Surgery No#2: Let the torture begin...

Well...What a day: Went to the Dr. to see about knee replacement surgery sometime in June ...BUT...like John Lennon said "life happens while you are busy making other plans" the surgery is now scheduled for Monday, May 23rd. That's right this Monday...three days from now. OMG!!!  She (Dr) says that the left knee which was replaced 7 weeks ago is plenty strong enough to get the other (right)  knee done. And while I'm under (sedated) this will give her the perfect opportunity to bend the left knee totally to get better range of motion. She will put my left knee on a CPM machine, which will continually bend my knee for a day or two. What the hell did I sign up for...Cut my knee open...check....put a new knee apparatus in and close it up with some crazzzzy glue...check...If that isn't enough pain and suffering...Lets bend the other knee to the max and put it on a continuous torture chamber machine. Sounds like lots of pain management meds!!! Wish me lots of LUCK!!! I will let you know how it goes... :-Ouch

On a better note...I have been swimming everyday...Up to 10 laps... Feels pretty good...Oh well I guess that will have to be put on hold for a couple weeks.
Oh! and I finished the bird painting (Hawaiian Egret) inspired by and for my sister, June...I hope she likes it...Take a Look :~)
