Post Op

Everything went well yesterday, and I have a new ACL, and my Meniscus has been fixed. I felt remarkable well, and normal yesterday, and besides the fact that I have a huge brace on my right leg, and I move on crutches, everything seems normal. I'm not really loopy or out of it by the Vicodin, and I'm taking it on schedule, so the pain has not been that bad yet. Today a machine was brought over where my leg is now in, and slowly being bent. Everyday it has to go up for about 5%, and this will speed up the recovery.
I guess the only negative thing so far is that my anesthesiologist called this morning to see how I was doing, and to inform me that everything went well except that half way through the surgery there either was a glitch in the heart monitor machine or my heart stopped for about 5 seconds. He and my surgeon were not really sure what happened. How does that make me feel? Yeah, a little worried!
