Surgery Update

He's out of the hospital! It was a long day yesterday, but he didn't have too much pain...the anaesthesia was still kicking in him I think. When they brought him back into the room after surgery he immediately turned on the TV, groggy and all. I looked at him saying, "Really?" He said, "The cricket's on." And so it was. He watched tons of Cricket, until NZ started to lose to the arch rival Australia then he slept on and off the rest of the day.

He had great nurses and a wonderful doctor. I was very impressed with the whole experience. When I got there early this morning he was quite a bit more sore, which is normal. He used crutches to walk but the pain is pretty excruciating, but good for you to walk as much as you can.

We are home now and enjoying a quiet day at home. I took off today as well, just in case, but it turns out I didn't have a car to get to work so I just stayed home too. NZ takes Friday and Monday off for Easter so I ended up with a very long break. Sam's family is traveling away until Monday, the house will be quiet, the DVD's are all rented and I have plenty of books to read as he watches movies that aren't quite my style. :) I offered my girl movies but he just didn't seem to want them.

Thanks for praying with us yesterday!

Here are two pictures, one before surgery and you can see how amused Sam is that I was taking pictures. And the second is his knee. Pretty cool to see and pretty gross all at once.
