Bryan had knee surgery on Thursday of last week. We have been anticipating this for a while and are glad this part is over. Apparently he has arthritis in his knee. We were preparing for the worst, but the doc seems to think he was able to do enough to help with the pain and swelling Bry gets with physical activity. Initially we thought he would need another surgery with a year of rehab, but hopefully that is not the case anymore. We are not out of the dark yet, but things are looking up. Hopefully he will be able to apply for the FBI sooner than later.

He was so funny coming out of the anesthesia (that was the part he was most worried about). He kept saying how tired he was and kept wanting to go to sleep. And let me tell you - I have no idea what combination of meds he was on that day, but it turned him into Mr. Sensitivity and I loved it! At home he kept calling me over because he just needed a kiss and he would tell me how much he appreciates all I do and that he doesn't appreciate me enough. He did this all evening while laying on the couch. It was pretty cute. I may slip him a pain pill or two the next time he is grumpy! *smile*

He is recovering well these days and is able to get around pretty well. The day after surgery was rough. Apparently his stomach does not do well with Vicodin. After many side-of-the-road stops on the way to physical therapy he decided to not take the meds anymore and has done pretty good since.

I am glad he is doing well and is starting to feel better. I hate it when he is not comfortable. I worry...it is in my nature I guess. Hopefully we won't have any more knee surgeries in the near future!
