We're back home! Jen's sleeping on the couch after returning from the surgical center. Still under the influence I'd say! (Anesthesia and waking up at 4:30 am).
We stopped at Wendy's and brought home lunch for us both. (She hadn't eaten since last night).
Anyway, she's doing fine. The cartilage in the knee repaired and even some arthritis was cleaned up, though that will return probably in time. All in all the doc said all went well and she should feel a lot better after recovery and therapy.
We are thankful. To God and all of you.
In another post I'll tell how I had to fork out a ton of money out of pocket unexpectedly for the surgery I assumed was covered by Blue Cross & Blue Shield. Yeah, right! In the meantime here's a news item I found on the net a while ago....

(Not so coincidentally, seniors were recently hit with the largest Medicare premium increase ever). Now, investigators have found that, before the drug bill passed, then-Medicare head Tom Scully - who already had one foot in the revolving door to become a big-bucks health care lobbyist - threatened to fire Medicare's chief actuary if he told Congress how much the bill would really cost.
