A very long day. Had to have her at the surgery center by 11 for a surgery scheduled at 1. We got there about 10:45 and it wasn't until about 11:30 that they took her back to start the prep. About a half hour-ish later I was allowed back to sit with her. Nurses and doctors came in explaining everything and explaining what was going to happen. Pretty soon it's just after one and her surgeon comes in to tell us that the surgeon using the OR at the time is still in there and it's probably going to be at least an hour late getting the wife in. So about 1:30 I left to go run some errands, go to the pharmacy to pick up her scripts, get some miscellaneous stuff she'll need at home, etc. Got home, ate, showered and tried to get the place ready. Got a call about 4:15 and they said they were getting ready to close and then move her to recovery. Got back to the surgery center about 4:45 and was waiting in the lobby for them to come and get me. The surgeon came out not long after I had gotten there and explained everything and said he was extremely happy with the way the surgery went. It was worse than they thought it was going to be, but he said he was able to get everything fixed up and her knees should be as good as new when she heals.

Wasn't until about 5:30 that they came and got me and brought me back to see her. She was in a LOT of pain and they were worried because her heart rate was pretty high and they wanted to get it down before they discharged her. So we were there until about 7 before she could leave and come home. It was quite a challenge getting her in the house and upstairs to the bedroom with the huge honking brace she was wearing and the crutches. Just before we got her into bed, she did slip and come down on her leg she had surgery on and she was in a lot of pain from that again. Got her situated though after a bit, unload the car, get her meds and some food and drink upstairs for her and soon it was after 8:30 PM. Finally got myself into bed about 9:15-ish.

Have to get her back to the surgery center this afternoon to talk to the surgeon again and check how she's doing and go over everything with her. It's going to be a challenge getting her downstairs and to the car this afternoon. And it sounds like she's going to be in some pretty serious pain for a few days.

Maybe set her up downstairs on the couch for awhile

Can't, gotta keep the dogs away from her for awhile. Can't have them accidentally jumping on her and hurting her knee/leg.

She must have been really tore up, They haver gotten so good at many knee surgeries that often they wont release you until you walk on it after waking up.

You're a good husband lance. Hope the wife's recovery goes well here, will be thinking about ya.

I'll put up some pics of her knees in another place. She had a full reconstruction and had to put in a graft to replace her damaged ACL.

Thanks, I try. She was actually doing quite a bit better yesterday, so I'm hoping that the recovery will move along faster rather than slower. She's already sick of being confined to the bedroom and away from the dogs and it had barely been 24 hours at the time

Make your dumbass kid pay back the money he borrowed, how about that?

Well, this is damn peculiar. I had a medical bill that was due on April 2nd. I knew it was there, I got notification of it's existence via email. I have the insurance EOB for it. I figured, "What the hell. Let me go pay it." I log into the account, and it's nowhere to be found. I call the help line and the woman I'm talking to is looking for it. She says billing deleted it. She can see the EOB, and she can see that the actual medical group is saying that it's there, but it's just not there anymore. It disappeared and she can't tell me why. I don't like this. Not. One. Bit.

Just go out and spend the money on something frivolous. I'm sure it will be fine.

Coworker of mine died. She was only about 40, felt ill, collapsed the next day and paramedics and her husbands couldn't revive her despite CPR. They think it was a heart attack. Such a sweet girl, worked with her for 9 years and shared a cubicle with her for the first few years of my career, even went to her wedding in 2019 and got to meet her family who were super kind people. Just a bundle of energy and life, always had the lunchroom laughing being a weird little character.

This is also right on the back of finding out my boss' boss has late stage cancer only about a year before retiring which is obviously just incredibly sad and my team has taken in hard.

Fucking sucks, life is too short and unpredictable sometimes. Makes you question all these hours of your life you spend sitting at a desk.
