My appointment with my knee surgeon went well.  I am about 2.5 weeks post-op (form hardware removal) and he said that I can start bearing more weight on my knee.  I'm supposed to let the pain be my guide.  If it's ouchie, I'm doing too much. 

I don't have to go see him for another year, which is awesome!  It will just be a re-check at that point also.

We found the reduced sugar Heinz ketchup at our local Dollar Tree, so you know we scooped them all up.  Score!  They are typically close to 3 bucks apiece and we like ketchup on everything, sooo... I remember when I first started doing low carb (about 14 years ago!), low carb ketchup was unheard of.  It's nice to have a lc ketchup as good as Heinz, even when it's top dollar - it's worth it!

Still "on the mend" with my hardware removal knee operation.  Went by the DMV yesterday and got my three month handicapped parking permit. 

Is it time to get out some of the spring clothes or what?  The gf saw a snowflake last night, so I'm almost afraid to ask.  We did haul our shovel down in the basement a couple weeks ago, however, in good faith....

Low carb menu & still loving my low carb oatmeal

Day three post-op and feeling better each day... :)  The ace bandage comes off today, which will be nice (and probably a little scary in a way for a non-nursey type).

I've said it before and I will say it again... This oatmeal is wonderful and nothing short of a low carb miracle in my book.  If you enjoyed oatmeal in carby days, then you will love this!   It's also jam-packed with fiber, which helped me out because we all know that surgery can wreak havoc on your digestive system. To clarify, I use a heaping 1/4 cup of the mix with 2/3 cup of boiling water plus a splash of heavy cream and plenty of sweetener.  It's total comfort food.

The surgery itself took less than half an hour, which is awesome.  They got right in there and took out my plate and screws out of my femur. 

My surgery was at 9am and I was home by 1pm (I think).  I'm able to balance myself out by placing just a little weight on my ouchie leg and using a walker.  I was able to get up the steps by just putting my weight on my walker and hopping backward on my good leg, which was awesome.

The hardware removal took place on Monday and today, I'm really feeling better. I've been sooo tired today and I've been mostly just sleeping and working (web work), but the pain is really getting to be less intense, which is a huge relief!!  I think that I slept for about thirteen hours, which is very unlike me.  Must be my body healing and that new bone growth shooting in!

Gearing up for Monday...

- Two eggs
- Two cinnamon flax muffins with butter
- Two deviled eggs with extra mayo
- A few bites (each) of the chocolate pudding layer and the peanut butter creamy layers of Drumstick Treat

The gf is sick with very sore tonsils and she can only swallow cold, soft foods.  I made her little low carb, chocolate peanut buttery parfaits to help her through the sick misery!

Going in for surgery on Monday to get the hardware removed from my knee.  Sure, it's outpatient, but it's scary, darnit!   *scared*

Shortly after I recovery from my knee surgery, the girl is getting her tonsils removed.  Necessary evils, but we will both be more comfortable (and less ouchie) afterward.

Thank goodness for private health insurance, amazing surgeons who are good at what they do and work-from-home, make-our-own-schedule jobs.  Yeah, life is good... even when it's scary.
