Thanks all!! 
FINALLY got home around 3:30pm!! They weren't going to let me leave!! Jeez!! They wanted me there until 6-8pm for some reason....I finally told them - Look I want to leave.....oh and they wouldn't let me eat...how am I supposed to take my meds with no food in my stomach??
Got there at 5:30am - sat around for a very short bit, then they prepped me pretty quickly (BP, temp, etc) took me up around 6:45am, hooked up my IV, asked me the same ? they had asked me 3x downstairs & gave me my Jaeger bomb via IV... OH and I got a Femoral nerve block in my right leg....right next to the femoral artery I now have a nice puncture wound & bruising....
Got wheeled into the OR, Dr. Axe walked in & asked how I was - I said more importantly "How are YOU??" Then *all of a sudden* I was OUT.....Woke up in recovery shivering with supreme cotton mouth, hung out there, got into my room upstairs where I just hung out till I asked to leave...never saw Axe again...my throat hurts & is scratchy from the tube in my mouth while I was under - and I have tape residue ALL over me....
I'm in an immobilizer with a drain and the electric cooler thingy - ice/water pack wrapped around my leg & it plugs in to circulate the ice water.....have a drain tube coming out my knee into a balloon-collection thing, which is pretty gross...
OH and I have 5 (yes FIVE) scrips.....3 pain + 1 antibiotic + 1 anti-inflammatory....
Leg block is just beginning to wear off....
Took 2 pain meds....

Been there done that. I had Ham String which hurt more than the f'n knee. Well, 1st couple days are the worst until the fluid comes out of the knee. Wondered about the drain, now wish my dr. had put one in. Oh well. It gets better quickly so best to ya.

Most important thing to remember when it comes to pain control is to take your pain meds before you even start feeling ANY discomfort, if you wait till you feel ANY discomfort the pain wall will hit you before any analgesic can save you.
