Nik had his knee surgery one week ago today! Yes on Halloween, poor kid! He had to be at the hospital at 8:30. Surgery at 10:30. The Dr. came late and started late. The surgery was 2 hours so he came out at 2:30
All ready to go!
The Doctor signed his knee so there wouldn’t be any confusion in the operating room!
The nurse put sleepy juice in his iv and Nik was gone!!! Just before they wheeled him out he called out (a little loudly) I love you Mom!!
He was in a LOT of pain for about three days. Sunday he almost felt better! I unwrapped his knee that night!!
Lots of swelling!
He has to wear his brace all the time!
Today we went for a check up and the Dr said everything looks perfect! The swelling has gone down a bit. He is walking better and in less pain.
Nik starts physical therapy next week! It will be a long couple of months for him but in the end it will be better for him!

Not until you see his normal knee to compare the two, do you realize how swollen it is. I’m so sorry that you’ve had to go thru so much pain, Nik. But we’re going for stronger and better. Love ya.
