My poor poor wife

First off, here’s a couple comments,

  1. Annette says:

    And you wonder why we don’t trust our government! Maybe the press will head back to the middle, wouldn’t that be nice.

  2. Robi says:

    Hope all went well with your knee! I had the same thing done about 12 years ago. The worst part was physical therapy but I guess it is necessary. I knew you couldn’t stay away from the blog for long – hehe!

    I hope so Annette, this is the first time that mainstream media is reporting on these scandals. Yet I can’t believe even last night Harry Reid goes on tv to perpetuate the lies told earlier by the Pres saying Benghazi is a side show, these guys must think everyone will believe anything they say, even though facts stating otherwise are staring them in the face. Wow, it shows just how delusional these politicians are.

    And yes Aunt Robi, I’m back on the blog but not like before. The misses just needs a break. Besides I’m sure you all enjoy her posts (she uses pictures) more anyhow.

    My surgery went well, I woke up a bit after 11:30 and we left around 12:45 for the 90 minute drive home. The rest of the day was spent on the couch with my leg in a motion machine and another machine that pumps cold water around my knee. The worse thing is I have to wear these knee high white compression socks for 2 weeks! It’s so you don’t get blood clots they say. Anyhow I guess that’s not too bad compared to the misses job which is waiting on me hand and foot, or should I say, hand and knee for the next week at least!

    Today I have physical therapy where I’ll start riding a bike and doing other exercises right away. They get you going right away so no scar tissue develops. I also have to go tomorrow and Friday but will need to get drivers as the misses has her big event tomorrow and is driving the kids tinikiling team all day Friday to different schools for performances. Uncle T has volunteered (or was roped into it) to take me Friday and I think the misses is asking her friend Andrea to take me tomorrow.

    Neither of us slept last night. They tried to give me 2 pain pills when I left but I said I was doing ok but they convinced me to take one. When I arrived home at 4 I took another and that was it. They wired me keeping me up until midnight but at least I got to watch Leno skewer Obama on tv. He and Harry Reid might stand up there and say it’s all the republicans fault but the whole country is laughing at them and obviously (finally) doesn’t believe their lies anymore. I’m sure there’s a few die hard Obama lovers who can still somehow justify them lying to Congress, using the I R S as a political weapon and stealing the presses phone records but the majority of the American people no longer believe them. I think it’s the I R S one that finally turned everyone as no one really likes or trusts them.

    Oh well, I’m sure some of you wish the misses wrote the blog but she’s making breakfast and taking the oldest guy to school at 7. I need to figure out how to shower this morning as I can’t get my knee wet. They’ll change the dressing at PT but that’s at 1pm.

    My doc says I have great knees but had a lot of scar tissue, probably from weight lifting and years of activity, and a tear that was flapping or clicking every time I bent my knee. The say you get what you pay for and that sure seems to be true. In Vail, my nurses, anestheologist (who’s now a friend and wine client), and surgeon were all really great. Yes I could have gone to someone down here but if I’m paying the same out of pocket, for anyone in the family’s medical care, I’m getting us the best doctors I can find. We did this with the misses neck, the oldest guys elbow and my knee and I’m glad I did. Just because a guy has doctor or lawyer after his name doesn’t mean he’s any good! Remember that!

    So take care and God Bless and in lieu of flowers, you can send the misses chocolate for taking care of me, ha ha.
