August 2, 2009 2nd Post OP Day

Grandma: Well I have drug myself out of my sick bed to blog. Knee surgery is not much fun. The pain pills work great which is good news. I am walking around independently today, but so slow and limping. Don't know when I will be able to leave the house due to steps and the gravel drive. I am a little unsteady and too uncoordinated to use crutches. Didn't get a walker because I didn't think it would be this bad. Dad is out playing golf this morning. I am tidying up. The doctor said to move around as much as possible as soon as possible for a speedy recovery. So that is what I am doing. Sorry not much news when you are homebound. Rudy, Bryson and Landon stopped by yesterday. They put the boat in at the bridge near Tim's Gun Shop and floated down the creek a mile or so. They could not come toward the house as it was too shallow. Bryson caught a gar maybe 12 or 18" long. They said there was a place where alot of gar were hanging out. Remember when gar hung out at the big flat rock? Dad and Tim caught one about 5 pounds many, many years ago. I will try to find a picture for those who do not know what a gar looks like. Aunt Ann came to see me yesterday and brought some magazines. Dad went to the grocery store yesterday and got us a really big steak and some vegetables (zuccini (sp??) and peppers). We had a nice grilled supper last night. I love everything (except my left knee) and every body. Have a bloggin day! P.s. Loved the snuggie for dogs! Gus as always is ahead of the times!
