Good news!  Finished surgery yesterday and according to my doctors, everything went as planned.  Although I couldn’t hold a conversation with the doctors because I was too groggy from the anesthesia, they did give me the thumbs up so I’m assuming everything went well.  Either way I’ll be having my post-op appointment on Monday to talk about the surgery in detail.

My leg is actually feeling pretty good.  I’ve been told to do a bunch of ankle pumps to keep the circulation going so I’ve been doing about a thousand of those a day.  I’m also hooked up to two machines:  One runs ice water through some pads attached to my leg in order to keep the swelling down.  The other machine bends and straightens my leg so that it doesn’t get stiff while I’m laying around.

I’m supposed to stay in these for about 8 hours a day.  And yes, I’ve gotta admit, I do get pretty bored.  That said, I’ve been playing a lot of games, reading, and doing a bunch of sit-ups.

Anyway, thanks everyone for all the good wishes.  I’m gonna take it easy this weekend but I’m definitely on the road to recovery!  Can’t wait to get back in the gym and start doing gymnastics-related strength training!
