Recovering From Surgery

Posted on April 17, 2006 by Him and tagged health

During the past week I've endured the one-two punch of medical malaise, hence the lack of posts from me. The first was a pretty bad case of food poisoning that I got while traveling on business in Seattle last weekend. The second was a knee ACL reconstruction surgery that I had done last Wednesday.

Fortunately, my recovery is going extremely well, and I should be back to work later this week. The first few days after surgery were a little shaky, with me having a fever and the effects of the anesthesia and food poisoning leaving me quite nauseated for a few days, making it was difficult to get calories into my body. The weekend was great in that the fever subsided and I had real food for the first time in a week -- even a full Easter dinner.

Her did a great job posting as much as she did and generally keeping the site running. Expect some posts from me now that I'm, uh, back on my feet. Pun intended.

Good luck with rehab! How long are you out of commission (or at least not going to work)?

Who did your surgery? I'm located in Chicago and am facing ACL surgery in about a month or so (pre-rehab) right now, because of other injuries I sustained. Just wondering?

Shoot me an email if you get the chance! I'd love to here about your choice of doctor, the experience, etc. Thanks, in advance!
