Surgery!!!!

Well it was a crazy early morning since they rescheduled the surgery for 6am which means I had to be there at 5am! But this was way better than the alternative of waiting until effing 12:45pm!

Before we got there I was told to "decorate" my legs with yes and no so that there would be no confusion as to which leg is getting the surgery. I didn't really decorate it but rather wanted it to be direct and to the point lol

Once we got to the surgery center, I was brought to the back and told to change into the super sexy hospital gown... then they asked me a bunch of questions and not too long after I was getting an IV put in and talking to the anesthesiologist.

Then they moved me to the room where I'd be getting my surgery and told me to lay down. I remember the anesthesologist asking me if it felt weird or funny yet and it did. Next thing I know the nurse is waking me up, I have a huge brace on my leg and I'm freezing!

After sitting for a little while and regaining consciousness and drinking some water we managed to get me into the car and I was on my way home. Once I was home I literally laid on the couch ALL day (only getting up twice to go to the bathroom lol) and my leg was so sore! Getting upstairs was even more of joke, since I cant put weight on that leg, there was literally no way to go up even with people helping me so I resorted to going up backwards on my butt one step at a time lol I cant even imagine how much pain I'll be when they start making me move my leg!!

My mom talked to the doctor right after the surgery and he said that they reconstructed my ACL, and fixed my meniscus and my MCL wasn't torn but rather just stretched out so he tightened that up too. However, since I had cartilage damage I have to be on crutches (NON WEIGHT BEARING!!) for 6 effing weeks! That means the first week of school will be on crutches. FML.

I go in to my first PT today at 3:40 and they're gonna change the dressing and show me pictures from the surgery! :)
