I got the best surprise this morning....flower delivery!!!! 
This gorgeous and thoughtful arrangment was sent to me (along with some heavenly chocolates) from family in Chicago. This totally made my morning. It was so unexpected! How cute is it that it came in this giant margarita glass/vase? Thank you, Dana!! I love, love, love it!! And the chocolates are so yummy too!

Thanks again to everyone for all the well wishes:) It means a lot! I obviously don't have anything too exciting to update about at the moment, so I'll have to share a few boring pics of my gimpiness. By Thursday a.m, I was REALLY getting sick of staring at my elevated leg on the sofa. Keeping this baby iced though:)
I have come to realize that I am a very impatient patient. I am not used to being waited on and I hate being dependent on others. I usually would rather get up and get my own water than have someone else do it for me. Isn't that pathetic? I couldn't be a princess if I tried. LOL. I had less pain on Thursday, so I was hobbling around the house quite a bit.... which wasn't too smart, because now my knee is hurting more again and I also have a big pain in the butt. Seriously...my right cheek is aching from supporting so much weight as I gimp around!!!
I was finally able to shower this morning (I could not have stood one more day...my hair was like a grease slick. Not kidding either!). This meant I was finally able to unveal my knee....as ugly as it is, I was relieved to see that there was NOT a huge incision on the outside of my knee. Just the 3 holes from the scopes. Pretty scary looking though! I swear, if this leg wasn't attached to my body, I wouldn't believe that it is mine...so swollen and disfigured.... and you can't even see all the bruising along the outter part of my knee in this pic.
Now that I have shared that ugly beast, I am going to spare you the pics of the inside of my knee!
Planning to stay inside all weekend and keeping it cool. 100' is too hot for me!
I hope you get some good rest.

Rest up this weekend and I'm sure you'll be feeling soo much better in a few days.
Of course, once you finally start feeling better, you'll also have gotten used to be waited on....then you'll miss it.
Wow, that leg of yours.....not too bad.
You'll barely have any scars.
