Surgery Day

After years of pain, Rob finally decided to go under the knife and get his knee fixed. The funniest part is how apathetic he was at first. He's been doing orthopedic rotations for most of the year, it seems, and kept telling me to just come get him in an hour--"This one's no big deal!"

Ha! Hours later, I went to the recovery room to find him completely GREEN! He dry-heaved the whole way home and was sick for the rest of the day. His actual knee hasn't been hurting him at all (and he's taken NO pain medications for fear of more nausea), but the anesthesia was terrible, as are the blisters that are forming from tubing and the brace that rub his leg. Still, he came home from two months of out-rotations on Saturday, had the surgery Monday, and was back to work on Wednesday. He's an animal, that one.
