Rachel's surgery went great! The procedure today was to repair her right foot, take out the filter for blood clot prevention and remove 2 staples out of her head from the fiber optic cable she had from week 1. Her foot was pretty beat up "it was like putting a jigsaw puzzle together" said the orthopedic surgeon. Everything went swimmingly and she is still in recovery but should be out shortly.
Today was a super day for Rachel and I! We both had surgery, she had her last of 6 and I had my 1st and only. I have been struggling with 2 herniated discs and have basically been laid up for the last 2 weeks, barely getting to see Rachel daily. I went in for surgery this morning right after Rachel started and ironically saw her in recovery after I came out of my anesthesia, I was awake but she was not. I am feeling a million times better and ready to sit next to my Bestie every day now : )
