well, here I am. I’ll admit, I feel much better than I thought I was going to! That being said, I’m so doped up on pain meds that I can lay in bed for hours and be just fine w/o any entertainment. I’m pretty swollen and I’ll post a pic soon. Summit has been staying with my mom or my mother-in-law so he is in good hands, although I miss him quite a bit, I think it’s better he’s away right now. It’s hard to do anything that requires consecration so I’m worried how this post will be once I’m a bit more coherent!!! 
I can’t remember what Ben said in his post, but the operation went better than expected and there isn’t any permanent damage to my joint! this is huge. they were able to get the loose screw, (laugh it up, I’ve already heard all the jokes!) put the cartilage back into place then put another screw in. I’m actually more sore today than I was yesterday, but that is probably b/c of the numbness wearing off and the healing process beginning. Anyways, thanks for your prayers! I still can’t talk on the phone so if you want to talk, just send me an e-mail!
