Hi everyone - thanks so much for the well-wishes! The surgery went well - and I'm already doing the rehab. The good news is that I didn't have any meniscus damage - so I can put weight on my knee - and can get into rehab quicker - that's a relief.
It's odd to be so immobilized - I feel little hints of madness tickle at the back of my brain every now and then - but I tell myself it's just the lingering effects of the anesthesia...hope so...
One thing that I find almost fascinating is that STBX has not once asked how I'm doing or how it went - or even said anything like kind - it's amazing how you can spend a decade of your life with someone - and then have them become more than a stranger - at least a stranger can still offer some compassion...which is not to say that I want her compassion or attention - it's just more of an observation of how far she has wandered from the person I thought she was...I would think that she would have some questions about my condition, given that it could affect matters concerning my S3 - but why should she suddenly exhibit a capacity to think beyond herself now, right?
I hope you are all doing well, my friends. I'm still feeling a bit scatter-brained...which is odd...perhaps it's just because I did not sleep last night...hm...
