Bless Your Heart

Living out loud in the Carolinas

So you know those gorgeous flowers that CSP brought me? CSP brought me gorgeous flowers to enjoy while I recover from knee surgery Well they make him sick. Eyes watering, nose running. Now they are living next door with Candice. Yay for her, boo for me. Now I’ll never get flowers again!

Today we went and got my stitches out. The doctor gave me pictures of the insides of my knee. I need to scan it in but I’m loopy from pain meds so I’ll do that over the weekend. I can show you my knee pre stitch removal: click to enlarge, if you can stand the sexiness My poor knee post surgery I know I’m a big baby, but getting my stitches out bothers me more than going under! They poke you with those scissors and make you bleed!

I’m walking around pretty well. Still limping and I still can’t drive for 2 more weeks. And it still hurts. It’s still swollen and I’m still icing it. I can’t do a lap around the neighborhood, and stairs are still slow, but I can get around the house without my crutches now. yay!

In cuter news, we stuck Zoe in a few vessels and took her picture. Get ready to OD on cuteness. Seriously. You might want to sit down for these. Click to enlarge. Mixing up a batch of ZoeZoe in the colanderZoe in the cookie jar

    Yes, dying of cuteness here, too. I especially LOVE the one of her in the ladybug and flower vase. That could go on a calendar or card!

    With all four of my surgeries, getting the stitches out was the worst part. Esp!ecially because they were in my abdomen. Ouch. I have been dowloading pictures of Zoe and e-mailing them to my husband. I must convince him that we need a pug. I must!

    Glad you are getting your mobility back. When Niel had his knee surgery it took him a bit too. He couldn’t go to work without his crutches though and can you believe no one wuold give him a seat. Come on!

    Puppy dog is quite cute as always.
