starting to get scared......

[tiffanie]

well its finally that time to get my knee fixed. this time tomorrow i will be getting ready to go under. i don't think that i have ever had this may butterflies in my stomach. hopefully i will be back on the bike in 2 months, 2 months too long if you ask me.
just incase the doctor decides that he dosen't like me or something i wanted to let BTB know that if thats the case you guys can sell my bike and use the money for whatever is needed.

so for the next month or so you will be seeing me like this:mstingray

 

[tiffanie]

Where are they going to keep you? That way tons of barfers can show up and harass you whilst you recover

i'll be at Kaiser Santa Theresa, but i will be going home the same day.

Don't worry Tiffie everything will be all right. I just had minor surgery too and can totally relate to being nervous. Before I went in my pulse rate was something like 60 or so, not bad according to the nurse. When they brought me into the OR, my pulse jumped up to like 150 or so. All was good once the drugs started flowin, and all i remember is waking up in my room.

Since then, the vicoden's have been treating me well :thumbup

Good luck tommorow:mstingray

You'll be fine, Tiff! I will be praying for your quick recovery! :thumbup

 

[JadedOne]

Get well fast and hope everything goes good *hug* :angel

knee surgery (for thorn tendon, is it?) is a straight forward procedure that many of my friends have been through. The recovery consists of not moving and putting pressure on it for a week or two, and then you are back up and running (may be not running ) in no time. The procedure itself is nothing to worry about, so try and don't. Afterwards, you will be glad you did it.

good luck, and stay positive!

anything? ACL reconstruction? miniscus tear?

tiffie THINK POSITIVE ++++++++++++ not -------------- but ++++++++++ then you will wake up and we wont have to sell your bike. altho we do need some money but thats what the dvd is for! so relax girl you wil be A O K. if anything bad happens ill stomp on the doctors face with my heels on. that should do some sufficient damage :thumbup

 

[NoGall]

Tell the nurse before the surgery that you are very nervous. S/he may give you some colorful happy pills before they put you under:thumbup

 

[ST]

Anesthesia is a wonderful thing! Best of luck and get well soon!

Hey Tiff, best wishes and it will be fine I know it. I went through somewhat the same thing with my crash but actually worse because of the broken bones and all the added hareware. They will give you the good stuff and you will not even know what is going on. I was so scared too when they were about to put me under, the drugs dont give you any choice but to sleep anyways!

Best wishes and please sign up for Team Gimpy when you get out!

 

[wannabe]

they will be taking out gravel and reparing the miniscus.

Tiff,

I thought you said it was major surgery. You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Meniscus surgery is probably the easiest thing you can have done. If you do the rehab, you can be back to full strength in two weeks.

Hang in there, girl.

 

[mikeyjudkins]

Dont even sweat it Tiffie. Ive seen you do way more scary stuff in that vid at the BARF bash.....heal well!
