Brad's 2nd Knee Surgery

Yup, Brad tore his ACL yet again, except this time it was on the other knee and this time he tore it playing soccer.  At least he was playing soccer on a team with his boss after he recruited him to play.  I had joked with Brad after the first surgery that if he put me through this again, he should find a new wife.  Of course I was joking, but that first surgery was just horrible for me.  So selfish sounding right?!  But waiting on Brad hand and foot and taking care of the boys and the dog and keeping up with the housework was just so exhausting.  Thankfully, the second time around was not as bad.  The boys were older and more self sufficient which helped, and we all knew what to expect more and Brad's recovery wasn't as awful this time around.  But, it was still exhausting.  Sigh.  I told Brad after this surgery that if he does this again, we'll have to go back to being just friends.

Here are some pics to document the occasion:

Before they took him back.  I don't like seeing him in a hospital bed even just for knee surgery.

His leg after they shaved it prepping for surgery.  Don't worry, I made fun of him a lot. 

In recovery.  He had a really rough time in recovery this time around.  He was shaking violently and was just so upset because he couldn't get warm.  Was kind of scary.  The nurse wrapped him up like this to try and help and he reminded me of a Sith Lord from Star Wars.  

Now someone please convince this man to stop playing sports, thanks.
