I made it through surgery! One of my coworkers was a former OR nurse where I had my surgery and she made a few phone calls and I was greeted with hugs by all the nurses. It was really really nice. Everything went smoothly. I was pain free from the nerve block until a few hours ago. I am managing the pain with the meds. I alo have a high tolerance. I have an ace bandage, an ice wrap and a huge brace on. I use the crutches to go from couch to bathroom. My dad and stepmom are taking very good care of me. So did my D9 while she was here. And get this:
My dad took me to get my car serviced and I needed 2 new tires, an alignment and an oil change putting me out almost $500. Theys aid my battery was critically low and wanted a crazy price. I spoke to my ex (he used to manage firestone where I went) and I asked his advice. he offered to go to Costco for me, get a battery and put it in for me! He went there and found out they didn't have it in stock, but found out which on I needed and found it on amazon. He said if I buy it, he will put it in for me when he gets back. I was so shocked at his very nice gesture. But I am certainly taking him up on it.
I have had so many wonderful friends reach out to me just to see how I feel and offer help and I have a few people this week who will bring me food and spend some time with me. I am a very fortunate woman. My dad and stepmom might come back next weekend.
Not so much of a vent this post, more of gratefulness. I can still recognize the good
