Surgery went well.  Got the hospital at 8:30am and left at 2:30pm. The actual surgery was quick, just an hour or so. They had me under a light general anesthesia with a Popliteal Block from my right knee down. This was a good option for me, this way I was not under for too long or too heavy. Once i got home, i just slept for few hours. I woke up around 7pm and had a big Bacon Cheeseburger…..I was hungry. My right leg stayed numb through the night due to the Popliteal Block. Thank you God.

I feel good today, I am taking Toradal a non-narcotic (i don’t do well with narcotics). The pain is not bad, it is tolerable (today). The incision burns a bit, but i am told that is normal. So, that is it.  Just hanging in bed with the leg elavated and working from my laptop , thank God I work from home.

Thanks again for the support
