The time is finally here to have the surgery on my ripped ACL..I will be having my surgery next Wednesday Sept. 23. I'm totally freaked out. I think what gets me the most is that I know what is coming. I have had this done to my right knee 7 years ago. I know what it will feel like when that nerve block wears off..I know the recovery is gonna be bad. I know the pain is awful. I think I did better the first time cause I never knew what was coming. That's the bad thing about this surgery.
I only hope that it will be better this time around...they will not be using anything from me to repair this...I will be using a Cadaver. My surgeon says the recovery time will be faster and easier since he will not be grafting a ligament or tendon from my body...I sure hope he is right. My surgery will be an hour and a half and I can finally go home about 4 in the afternoon. Not too bad I guess.
I have been going nuts trying to get everything done that I need to before surgery. I want a very clean house to come to..laundry done and all that. Also, I have been preparing things for my stamp group at church. Yes, I will take some pictures of a few of the cards I made up for them to work on while I'm gone. I know I have been a very bad blogger....not sure why exactly...I really haven't been doing much crafting...maybe that is it.
OH, I also have some Christmas cards to show you. I went to an Archivers workshop over the weekend and I made four awesome cards. I have already starting working on my Christmas cards. Figured I better get them started since I'm gonna be laid up.
Ok, enough for now...I will take my pics tomorrow when I finish everything I'm doing.
Tata for now.....................

Sonya - my husband had ACL reconstructions on both of his knees and he had cadaver donation on both. He had a great recovery and the pain did not seem to be too bad for him. Obviously, just the first day or two after surgery. Good luck with everything! Looking forward to seeing your Christmas cards!
