Don's Surgery

Don called me this morning at 7AM. He was released from the VA hospital after his knee surgery yesterday. He was just waiting for the pharmacy to open to get his prescription and his crutches. He certainly sounded better this morning than he did yesterday. Last evening when I was talking to him he was really looped on the pain meds they put him on. He had arthroscopic surgery on the front of his knee. He watched the entire procedure on the little monitor. He said it was cool. He also watched my entire c-section when I had Chrissy. He was holding one of my hands and standing by the doctor as he explained what he was doing.
Anyways, he'll be on crutches for about two weeks. He can put weight on his leg for as long as he can take it. He goes back on Monday to have the stitches removed. He also has a benign tumor on the back of that same knee. The doctor hopes it will start to drain on its own now that they have made some adjustments in the front. If it doesn't start to drain by Monday, they will insert a needle and help it along.
