Feelin' the pain...

Yesterday was not too bad as far as pain goes. Today, with the anesthesia wearing off, I am not feeling nearly as good. I slept from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. Then from 12:30 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. I woke up at 4 crying because I missed Madison (my parent's dog). She is such a good nurse dog and has been with me through my other 2 knee surgeries. Jackson was sweet enough to get up with me at 4 and give me more medicine, take MacKenzie out so she could cuddle with me, and stay up talking with me until I felt ok enough to go back to sleep. He is such a good man. I slept from 4-8 then just couldn't take it anymore. I had a pain level of 0 (on that stupid pain chart they make you use at the hospital) and I was ready to go. I took a "European Shower" and then started some laundry. I made myself some breakfast (chicken dumplings again) and just tided up around the house. I took a nap this afternoon while Jackson and Susie went to the grocery, picked me up some Wonton Soup from the Chinese place down the street and baked chocolate chip cookies! YUM! What a spoiled girl I am!! 

Susie changed my dressing on my knee and we discovered that there was an extra hole!!! 4 holes! 4 holes! 4 holes! There were only supposed to be 3! No one asked me! No one told me! HOW RUDE! I was freaking out. I have been told to calm down more than once. I am upset. The doctor will hear about this. Grr. 

Jackson walked MacKenzie to the mailbox and found PRESENTS IN THE MAIL! I LOVE presents in the mail! Danielle sent me the cutest ornament EVER! It is a hand-painted ornament with MacKenzie on it. Oh my goodness is it cute. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT! What a great friend! I wanted to leave it out all year, but decided against it since it was so very Christmas-y. I will definitely look forward to getting it out next year. Thanks so much, D! You are wonderful!! :)

Susie is making her world famous lasagna for dinner tonight. It is Jackson's favorite food. She's been good to us.

I am hoping to iChat with my Mom tonight so that I can see Madison. Guy is trying to find a way to send me a chicken pot pie in the mail. He didn't think he could mail Madison to Denver. Boo. :( They also think flying would be too scary for her. She is getting older. Sad.

If you cannot tell by how boring this post is- I am BORED! Susie is very against us going to a movie tonight, but I intend to keep begging. I am not made to be laid up. :/

I hope you all are well!
