I went into the hospital on Jan. 26th for a total right knee replacement surgery.

I had to be at Arrowhead Hospital at 530 am for a 730 am surgery time. I arrived at 515 am and eventually had my surgery at 800 am.

I asked the nurse how long the surgery would take and how long I'd be out before waking up. two hours for the surgery and another for sleeping. The surgery took about 1 hr and 45 minutes and I woke up 10 minutes after it was over.

I was then taken into my room. I did not eat anything that day, as I was kinda nauseous.

They got me up the next morning to walk down the hallway with a walker. I had a spinal for the surgery, and it caused me to have the itchys the next day. I got some Benedryl to take care of that. The spinal finally wore off in a day, so I took some Percoset for the pain.

The Doc came in and I asked him if I could go home a day early. He said yes, and I was out of there on Thursday at 200 pm.

Thanks to Kim, Pastor Shaun, Beth, Leroy and Derrell for coming to visit me. it meant more than you can know.
