Craziness that is the holidays

I know I haven't written in a long time. My New Year's resolution is to be better about updating this blog so people know what is going in in my life....

Since I last blogged, I have had orthoscopic knee surgery to realign my kneecap and clean up all the wonderful scar tissue that has accumulated in my 29 years of life. So physical therapy has been keeping me busy and kicking my ass. I have for the past 2 months been wearing the most attractive knee brace which I have decided goes well with ALL my fashionable clothes. If I can figure out how to post pictures I will. I'm quite dumb when it comes to computers.

Surgery was October 7, 2008 and my doctor told me this was going to be a piece of cake. I'd be walking in 2-3 days and not need crutches. Oh and he told me I would NOT be in a brace. Funny how doctors will tell you what they think they want you to hear because 45 minutes of surgery later, I had a lovely lovely heavy duty brace on my leg. Not only was I in a brace, but it was locked at 3o degrees range of motion. 3 weeks later I was given a whopping 60 degrees and 2 more weeks I was allowed 90.

Now I am in the brace when I work because let's face it.....being a sales rep is not making my recovery easier. I am just so fortunate to have the flexiblity of the job that I do. I was layed out on the couch for 2 weeks and was able to answer emails and catch up on a lot of TV and movies. The boyfriend was amazing. He drove me to and from surgery, helped me with my ice schedule, got me into bed, got me in and out of the bath tub, made me food, picked up the ever so wonderful pain meds, etc. I am forever grateful to him.

so hopefully soon, I will be able to break out the heels because I seriously miss my fabulous shoes.
