life comes to a screeching halt.

We have been crazy busy the past couple of months- weddings, showers, apartment shopping, etc. Well, last Thursday like came to a screeching halt with my ACL surgery. Yuck.
I have never had any operation before (besides wisdom teeth, which don't count). But all of that changed. I had to have reconstructive surgery on my ACL. I was off of work for a week and a half, which sounds great but was SO boring! I don't do well with not being busy. I like to be on the go and have things to do. So when my day-to-day life became me laying in bed hooked up to a machine that constantly bends my leg for me, I didn't do well. Borderline depression.
Another fact is that my body will react in the strangest way to any medicine. It happens. Trust me.
I found out that I am semi-allergic to pain meds. Awesome.
I swell way more than the average person. Cool.
BUT, despite all of the negative, I made it! Over a week after the surgery, I am feeling pretty good.
I am able to walk around, go out places, hang out with friends. I do have to wear a leg-immobilizing brace which makes me walk pretty hilariously. Oh well. I get that cool thing for 2 more weeks.
I start back to work tomorrow which is fun. Never thought I'd be so ready to get back to work!

I do have to say that we have such incredible friends here in the lone star state. Our friends in our small group have supplied dinner for us almost every night since the surgery. What a blessing that was to receive dinner and good fellowship. Community is such a neat blessing.
