Post Op Knee Surgery

The surgery went well, just as planned and i didn't really have all that much pain because of the timing of the pain killers. The only thing that hurt was moving it to go to the bathroom or anything like that, which the doctor said that he was very impressed by how high my pain tolerance was because not very many of his patients come out of the surgery room saying that there is nothing wrong the next day. I didn't feel much of anything. Also they did this really cool little thing which is called a nerve block which causes me not to feel much of anything for up to 24 hours afterwards, so that I can avoid major pain. This was a very wierd sensation, I didn't feel a thing like if someone touched my leg I didn't feel anything at all! It was kinda creepy actually to tell ya the truth. The other creepy thing is that I still don't have feeling in much of the skin on my shin! I think some of the nerve endings were damaged during surgery. All in all not as bad as I expected it to be!
