knee surgery part two!





monday i had knee surgery again. this time on my left knee. the surgery went well but unfortunately i didn't wake up from the surgery well. i woke up shaking and in convulsions and crying. they had to shoot me up with something to stop the shaking and some morphine. it was really scary and i kept asking for my fiance kason {i love saying that!} and my mom but they wouldn't let them in until i was stable. luckily all was well in 30 min and they were able to come in. also, this time they gave me better pain pills. i love pain meds! the only downside is it makes me dizzy, but it takes the pain away. this time my surgery was definitely better because i have a wonderful fiance who has spent all week taking care of me after working all day. seriously he has done everything for me and i am so grateful! i also need to thank my mom. she is amazing! last night my mom and kason even washed my hair for me while i was laying on the couch! {see above pics} anyway i am on my way to recovery and i am so excited because pretty soon my knees are going to be as good as new! {almost!}

Is this the end of surgery for you? hopefully! that waking up part doesnt sound fun. Hope you are doing well/better now. I wanted to let you know that my mother in law has just started selling White Elegance (temple dresses/clothes) So whenever you get around to the temple part of planning (assuming your getting married/sealed there, no offence if you aren't) let me know and you can come look at and try stuff on. If you already know someone that does it thats totally cool. Just thought I'd let you know. Feel free to spread the word too. Happy recovery!
