Ice Is Her New Best Friend...


We are home from surgery. We arrived at 11:00 they pre-oped her, didn't take her into surgery 'til 2 pm and she was in surgery for 3 hours. Her labrium has been debreeded her tendon within her right thigh has been "cut" and the area was pumped full of cortisone. And, while in surgery she was in traction to allow access to the area. We are home. It's tender. The nice recovery room nurse offered ice. Catie - not too sure. Mom advised YES we would love some ice. Ice went on and Miss Catie was amazed at the comfort it brought her. She enjoyed a post surgical red popsicle, was given a dose of pain meds for the road and she decided she was ready to roll. With very little fan fare we were out of there with ice for the road. So, we are home, she has the remote control and dad has gone to rent a movie. All is well, we'll go back to the surgeon on Thursday and start physical therapy in the near future. Oh and she is non weight bearing for approximately 6 weeks.  Pictures to come later. Thank you all for your care and concern. I will do my best to keep you all posted. ;) Jen
