On the mend in In the Kingdom of Suzu

Saw the plastic surgeon yesterday and he was QUITE pleased with his work and how I am healing. Took the tubes out, in another week I can start doing the arm exercises and raise my arms over my heae. No heavy lifting or aerobic exercise for 6 weeks and he would prefer if I put the knee mri off a couple of weeks. He said the mri should not disturb anything but if I waited a month that would be ideal so that is what I will do. Did not have to take any pain meds so when I feel comfortable I can drive, which I will probably start on Monday. Thanks again to all for your good thoughts and wishes, I appreciate them all and truly do feel blessed.
