Thanks everyone. The surgery went well, the surgeon was very optimistic that the surgery should do some good things for my legs, and they discharged me a day early.
Ok, I need to share a weird story about W. W and I are separated for over 2 years. And after the surgery the doctor wanted to make sure I was staying with someone for a week. I had arranged to stay with my parents,
W attended the surgery and when the surgery was over, she came up to me (and I was chock full of pain killers and other drugs) and said that for the recovery I could stay with her and the 2 youngest kids at her place (?!)
I declined her offer, saying I was staying at my parent's place. It was a nice offer that came totally out-of-the-blue. But don't think this is progress. When she posted it on FB, she referred to me as "ex-husband".

I'm glad to come here and read that everything went well. Now, it's on to recovery time...take care of yourself and follow your doctor's orders to the letter!

My fever spiked when I got home from Wednesday's surgery. And I am in some pain.
My Mom and W are double-teaming me telling me what I should do. And sometimes I can be a stubborn arse, especially when people are pushing me, I push back.
W is especially bugging me. Several texts yesterday getting an update on me. Three phone calls, all of which is fine. But then in our convos she's calling me "her ex", which is annoying as all get out. Play that game with your friends, not around me.
She said that she would come over today and visit me to make sure I am ok. I would prefer she stay away, but my days of controlling my W are long since passed. I guess this post was a "vent", so venting is over. Happy 4th to all of the American posters here on DB.
I am doing better today. The pain from Wednesday's surgery is healing. My fever is gone. I've been able to rest and recuperate for the past few days.
Last night "The Bachelorette" was on, and at the end of the show W texted me to disagree with with Katelyn's kicking off of one of the guys, and we had traded a few texts about the show.
I was careful with my comments, staying away from Katelyn who slept with one of guys, and experienced guilt and shame from doing this. And one of the guys going thru intense jealousy. W brought up that one of her favs was a guy who was very protective of Katelyn in a spooky house - and a common attack W brought against me was that I was not protective of her.
I am trying to set up up a weekend up north with my family (not W) and kids I hope it all works out.
Glad to hear that you are feeling better today. It's one day at a time and don't push yourself. Give your body time to heal.

Wet, You may want to think about starting a new thread. This one is going to lock very soon.
