Tomorrow's the day I hope I'm removed from the Players Injury List for quite some time. My smart young Gen Y whizz kid of an Orthopaedic Surgeon is going to get off his iPhone long enough to shove an arthroscope into my left knee. He tells me he'll be fossicking around in there for some time, as he needs to repair a torn meniscus, suss out an ACL problem & get rid of a whole heap of osteophytes for me. I'd say I'm breathless with excitement but I'd be fibbing. I'm actually very tetchy today & just want it over with.
My issue post-operatively will be all the stairs at home. I told MOTH he'll have to do his best Rhett Butler impersonation & carry me Scarlett-like, up & down them for a couple of days. It's in the marriage contract I told him under Additional Responsibilities, but he didn't fall for it. And yes, before you ask, my train is just about to pull into a destination that I'll be jumping up & down with joy about. I can't say much until next week, so you've got to keep it a secret, shussssssh. I've got 5 days off work now, so I'll let you know how things go, with my iPad balanced on my good knee & MOTH & the boys tending to my every whim, NOT.

Secret is safe with me ;) ... hey you will actually be able to jump up & down soon, good luck with the surgery. xxxx
ReplyDeleteGood luck with it all Millie. Hope you can still jump for joy when needed :)
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with the surgery. Hopefully you will be in a brace to illicit sympathy for you. My friend came home with a bandaid and couldn't get much attention. I'm sure it will go well. Very excited to hear your news. Fingers crossed it will all be fantastic - just as you wish
ReplyDeleteGood luck Millie... you will be running up and down the stairs waiting on those boys in no time! xv
ReplyDeleteGood luck Millie. I shall be keeping you in my sweetest thoughts. xxoo
ReplyDeleteMum's the word Millie...my thoughts are with you, but I know MOTH will be attending to your every need and whim...ummmm

Hi Millie - good luck for tomorrow. Hope it all goes smoothly and your back on your feet very soon. Leigh
ReplyDeleteHi Millie,
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with the surgery and wishing you a speedy recovery.
Look forward to hearing about your news and don't go jumping on the leg too soon.
Sending hugs
Carolyn
You will be amazed at how good it feels and how quickly! But good luck anyway!
ReplyDeleteNow back to my story writing until I can catch up with your train destination!!!!!
Thinking of you Mill's and sending love and speedy healing vibes from the UK.I'm sure that MOTH is a whizz at ordering take-away's !! XXXX
ReplyDeleteGood luck and enjoy looking at all the hot young docs fussing over you.
ReplyDeleteBig hugs and best wishes for tomorrow Mills.
ReplyDeleteIt would be fabulous if you could come out of anaesthetic and address MOTH as Rhett in a southern accent!
I had a similar procedure a couple of years ago and then was a very naughty girl and went on a sailing holiday with Captain V around the Whitsundays for a week - stairs + unstable floor and confined space = what was I thinking!?!?!
Must have been love!
xx
Sending good wishes Millie for a terrific outcome after the Gen Y whizz kid does his best on your knee.
ReplyDeleteOnce home Moth and the boys might surprise you by placing a pretty little bell by your side to tinkle whenever you need something and I'm sure they'll come running.
xx
Best of luck Millie and wishing you a speedy recovery. I hope everyone takes good care of you.x
ReplyDeleteOuch!!! I sure wish I could be there to nurse you back to 110%. MOTH and his crook back is no good, I know that I am as strong as a small man, not a medium sized one. I'm so happy that you see your next stop on the Trans Railways of Life, to be an exciting one. Just taking the ride in one day at a time and not looking at the next stop for now, over here. Jboy, just got himself a new Badboy zero turn mower yesterday in order to continue to lawn care side business. He is very happy with his new toy. Perhaps one day he will be cutting the lawns of South Australians? Take care, all my love, Heidi
ReplyDeleteHi Millie,
ReplyDeleteI've had the same surgery twice. There's very little pain. As a matter of fact, I didn't take any of the painkillers the doctor prescribed. You'll be better before you know it. But MOTH doesn't need to know that - make sure he waits on you hand and foot!
Best of luck!
Oh Millie my right knee is aching in sympathy.
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Come on Moth you have to step up.
Kind Regards
Karen
You must be so proud of your son. Mine is studying to be a Chirpractor so Im hoping he'll be helping me too. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Fiona
ReplyDeleteOh Mills! I fervently hope that (hopefully dashing) young orthopod fixed you up in a jiffy. Wishing you a swift and uneventful recuperation. J x
ReplyDeleteHope all went well and you made it up the stairs ok. xx
ReplyDeleteGood luck Millie - but I know you are in good hands!!
ReplyDeleteOuch...feel better soon!
ReplyDeletebest, Kelley
Hope everything went well Millie. am thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteI wait with bated breath regarding the exciting "train destination"...as I cheer for your speedy recovery! (of course I say all of this with my best Southern accent~ in honor of Scarlett and Rhett, of course!) ;)
