Well, she finally did it. After 2 months, or 9 weeks to be exact, of testing out her injured knee, Maryn decided that she couldn't live with it. It gave out on her and she would fall, so she just couldn't trust it. Plus, it just never stopped hurting, not really. So yesterday we took her to the hospital and they repaired her knee. We knew that she tore her acl from having an mri done, but it turns out, it was actually torn in half. The doctor gave us some pictures of the before and after. Good thing I can't tell what it is really, so it doesn't seem that gory.
Surgery was scheduled for early morning, so we were up very early Thursday. I haven't seen that hour on the clock, except for insomnia nights, for a really long time! Maryn was nervous, but was also confident that she was doing the right thing. Kelly and Gpa gave her a blessing. I am so thankful that my husband honors the priesthood and is able to use it whenever it is needed. We were on our way home by 11, looking forward to recovery. I got a little nervous when the timing didn't go like they said in the recovery room. I couldn't figure out what was taking them so long, but it turns out there was some "tweaking" of the medications that needed to be figured out. But in the end, it is working out just about like we thought.
Day 1--home sweet home. She looks and feels like she got hit by a truck
Day 2--can't really tell from this picture, but she is up and moving around a bit more and keeping food down!
