Hope it went well, and that when you wake up tomorrow you will get some ice cream and lots of smiles!

Funny, I just got IC for my midnight snack.
I'm told the surgery went well and I am back in my room with not too much pain. I will update after I see the surgeon.
I really appreciate and enjoy everyone's supporting wishes and prayers..

Oh, @skibum4ever, I am so very sorry to hear of your injury - that is just awful. We will gather our collective inner warriors and send you healing thoughts and grit to see you through your recovery.

I fell behind on this thread! So glad you are out of surgery; my thoughts and prayers will be for a (relatively) smooth road to recovery. I dare not ask for a pain-free or easy recovery, since that’s impossible, but I am sure you have the strength and perseverance to get through it and come out better on the other side.
Let the healing commence!

I fell behind also. It's amazing how tiring and time consuming doing absolutely nothing can be.
I stayed at Hoag until Sunday afternoon. I did very little but they did control my pain and give me the minimal PT which I could absorb. By the time I checked out I was much more comfortable transferring from bed to commode to wheelchair to car as we had practiced all those activities several times. I felt that I was exactly ready to go home.
Since my return home 48 hours ago I have become a little bit stronger and can see the possibility of getting out of the chair without help in a few more days. It's not much but it's comforting. Met with Hoag Home PT this morning and he confirmed that in these early days I am not expected to do anything, and that I am actually moving quite well for an older person with a traumatic leg injury. It's so easy to get discouraged. PT also counselled that I get a better wheelchair before attempting to go anywhere, so DH is currently working on that.
I will work on paperwork especially ski pass refunds over the next week. I awoke this morning with a strong sense of purpose and I hope to accomplish a little bit every day. And I will anxiously await my next surgeon appointment and a roadmap to the following weeks

@skibum4ever … thank you for the update. I was wondering about you this am.
Glad you are feeling the fire to do things.
Don’t push harder than they tell, pace yourself, and please accept good wishes.

Oh trust me there have been wallowing and discouragement. For example yesterday I had to do some work on my PC. DH helped me get over there with no problem. However, I could not sit there long enough to actually accomplish what I needed. So I will try again later today, immediately after taking a pain pill.

Careful if you’re shopping! No telling what a pain pill induced haze might make you buy!

Truth! I had to stop shopping when I should be sleeping. Quite risky!

My reputation obviously precedes me.
No, I have been so sleepy and out of it that I don't dare to shop.

Some of my most inspired purchases have been at 3:30am.
