Let the healing begin!

On 6/11/2009 I underwent surgery to fix my broken leg. Four hour surgery with seven incisions (2 big, 5 scope holes), seven screws, one plate and a complicated ACL evulsion fracture wire suture repair. I spent 2 nights and 3 days in the hospital. I just got the bill for the hospital only and it was $21,000! Thank goodness we are still on COBRA from having Asher and we have now met our max out of pocket for the year (finally something went our way). I will be completely none weight bearing for 12 weeks which makes for a long summer! I have already started physical therapy and can move much better and feel much better than before the surgery, however. I still suck on crutches, by the way, which makes for some good laughs! :)
