Pictures from Brielle’s surgery

Brielle is doing awesome!! The first day home from the hospital she was in a lot of pain but didn’t want to take any pain medicine..but a cookie bribery helped a littleWinking smile She was very cranky too.and she even knew that..bc she told me its probably a good thing I don’t have to go to school this week bc im a little crabby..ha! So after resting a lot and keeping the leg elevated she is pretty much walking all round today and last night with out any problems or pain.. I have heard “Im bored” so many times in the last few days too..The trick is going to keep her from doing stressful things to her knee over the next six weeks..like going for bike rides with Grandpa..and jumping on tramp or just running around..Here are some pictures from her surgery…

After the surgery…still a little loopy..she thought it was worse then what she thought it was going to be..and she said that the gas that they used to put her to sleep with smelled like a monkeys breath..not sure how she knows what that smells like..or she was still a little loopy when she said that and not sure what she was saying …hmmmm

Her incisions…when she first looked at it..it scared her a little but then I pointed out the pen marks and then it wasn’t as bad…
