Tonight after I shower, I will wipe my entire body down with special wipes that will sanitize me from head to toe. I will arise at 6 AM and be at the hospital at 7:00 AM. The drive will take at least thirty minutes. The surgery will take place around 8:00 AM.
What has amazed me is that I will not stay even one night in a hospital. I will be back to sleep in my own bed tomorrow night. I was told I will walk out of the hospital on my own two feet with my new knee already working.

Because I have to be so clean tonight, Lexie cannot stay with me.
She would be sleeping right against me under the sheet and she is not too sanitized although she is pretty clean. Needless to say, this is a brand new experience for me and I will be most happy when it is done even though the pain will begin then.
I am the most fortunate person in the world because my dear sister, Gay, will be with me for as long as it takes to recover. She has found all the right medical equipment I need. She has laundered my sheets, clothes I will wear tomorrow, gowns and pajamas, and she has gone with me to classes that were mandatory for both of us to attend.
I should never complain again about anything! I have a wonderful life, loving family and friends, and I am not afraid or worried about the outcome of this operation because lots of people are sending up prayers for me.
I will be back on this blog in a few days, I'm sure, and I will write more about this new experience.

Please know that you are loved greatly and are held up to the Lord in mercy. Please let me know how things go after your surgery.

Indeed, Maren. She is a blessing to me. She has been with me all the way even sleeping with me at night so she can help me. I am using a walker and trying to do all my exercises to get my knee working properly again. It is a challenge but I will make it. Thanks, Maren.
ReplyDeleteLinda, yes, Gay has always been there for me and is now. I hope soon she can get back to her dancing classes and enjoying her busy life. But for now, she is taking good care of me and Stu is taking care of Lexie. God is good to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone who sends me caring and love and prayers. I love you all and will see you again before too long, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteRob, thanks for leaving your comment. I am doing pretty well for two weeks after surgery. All the good wishes must be working. I hope you are doing better. I am grateful I have a cousin like you that I can talk with and enjoy. You are very special to me. Love you. Glenda
