It is amazing what a difference 24 or so hours can make. My knee still hurts and I have quite a way to go recoverywise, but I feel really good today. I am moving around a lot better. I am certain that I will not have too many problems getting around at home once I get back there.

Plus, I miss my cats.

I've seen people who have joint replacements really really happy with the results.

I am not going home today. Due to my extended disability prior to surgery, the doctor feels I would benefit from in-house rehab.

Um, Yay?  Yayish?  Getting more hands-on professional treatment is great, but staying in a hospital is not.  So torn.

That's how I felt, and bit torn. I am glad the option was there, but I hope I do not have to avail myself of their services long.

My roommate has gone home. While I am happy for her, I am even happier that her television will not be on 24 hours a day. It appears that I will not be getting a new roommate today. Hopefully I can get some sleep tonight.

That's great news Velma.

I'm cheerful because the people in the MINI club I am in are awesome. They helped me find a part for half the price that the shop was going to charge me. That means I can get it when I get paid next week instead of saving up $1200. Just in time too because it's been hot as balls in Indiana.
Strange but not a stranger<br /><br />I love my car more than I love most people.

Velma

That is wonderful news, Buddy. Who is going to put the part in?

My roommate was a nice enough woman. But I have to admit that television was getting on my nerves. She also snored, but that's not as controllable as the sound level of a television.

A friend of my brother works on Volkswagens, BMWs, and Audis and he offered to put it in at a discount. I got lucky because finding a decent shop that will even touch a foreign car around here is difficult let alone for a decent price.

I really should give this place credit. The food here is not that bad. A bit bland at times, but that is to be expected of a medical facility  where you are bound to have folks on salt restricted diets. They do give me small packets of salt to give it a bit more flavor.

I ended up fixing my AC for 20 dollars by myself. Take that douchey garage guy.
