I had surgery today. I am laying here with a huge brace on my left leg. I'm all set with a really cool icing system: ice and water is in a small cooler and a hose runs from it to pads under the brace and circulates the water. Cool!

The kids and Cooper think its great. Mommy to pile on and she can't get away. It's okay, it keeps me from getting too bored. Which, by the way, I am. I've been here for 3 hours, most of it asleep and I'm ready to get up. Odd, I always wish I could get in a nap. Now what?

Okay, now it's been 4 1/2 hours and it's quite active in here. Dr. Connor is taking good care of me and Gillian is telling me stories.

Poor Jared is feeding the horses and they have no respect for him.

Well, one knee down, one to go. Yes, I tore the other ACL, too. Someone called me the luckiest girl alive today.

Tomorrow will be a better day.
