I tore my meniscus in two places, cracked my knee cap which healed incorrectly and may have damaged my ACL. I didn't know what a meniscus was until I hurt it~ who knew what a pesky little thing it was?
It's my first surgery ever. I'm a bit nervous. It's out-patient and I'll probably be home in 6 hours or so, but I'm still nervous.
I'm also excited!!
I will be able to bend my knee again!!!
I won't be miserable anymore!!!
I get two weeks off work!!!
I don't have to wake up at 5:15 for Seminary!
I get big time drugs which means I will get sleep!!

My favorite part was your note to the ward. LOL.
I know all about knees. UGH! Best wishes friend. "Strengthen the feeble knees" will have new meaning to you.
For those of us not in your ward, do you need anything? :) Good luck and have fun with your time off work. Make Jeff and Scotty and Byron pamper you and attend to your every whim.
Prayers and hugs for a speedy recovery!!!
Good luck with EVERYTHING! If you have physical therapy, I hope your PT is a hottie!
The scariest (and ONLY scary part, in my opinion) is not being able to eat for 10 hours. You'll be fine.
I'm glad you are going to have it fixed! I will for sure keep you in my thoughts and prayers!
Yay for drugs and 2 weeks off!!!
Today during church, Kendon was showing me pics on his phone that he had from my surgery in January. My first thought was, "man, I haven't slept that well since." Seriously. Anesthesia is good stuff.
I will be thinking of you on Tuesday. Can you please have Jeff put an update on here or his FB so we know how you are?!?!?!
Much love to you!
I will be thinking of you! I hope you mend quickly with all the great care you will get from your ward.
i may be selfish, but i'm looking forward to your 2 weeks off from work so we can finally squeeze in a phone call. we have until friday of this week, bc then i go back to work as well.
i may call tomorrow, just to see what kind of intresting things you say while on drugs.
I am sorry you have to have surgery...but I am excited that the nagging pain can finally be corrected!!
I love you so much!! I am so excited that you get a whole 2 weeks off of work!!
Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog asking how I am doing and if I know I am loved. I do know I am loved, thanks to you, girlie!
Love you!
Sending prayers for a speedy recovery your wya.
Hey, Jeni, since I'm not in your ward anymore, what can I do to help?? Taking your seminary class just isn't enough...do I hear a cry for cookies?

I didn't know what a miniscus was either until Brandon shredded his in a dirtbike incident. We've been through that whole out-patient knee surgery thing. Good luck! You'll be in my prayers fo' sho'!
I hope your knee is doing better! You have a little grandbaby you will need to chase after!
How was the surgery, Jeni? Hope everything is ok and that you feel better soon. Update us when you can...
I just found out about this today from Marti! Ack! I am so sorry, and you DO need something, I don't count. Mark and I will put our heads together tonight and come up with something Jenni worthy. Hope you are healing well. PS Way impressed you made it to 50 without EVER having surgery. I could count on both hands the ones I have had!
