Knee operation

On August 31st, I had what I hope is my last Knee operation. I had a partial knee repair done. The first few days were very rough for me. I had quite a deal of pain. After the first week I started doing some weight bearing and making sure I did not loose range of motion. I felt myself getting stronger everyday. I still struggled to move around just the house, so going out and about was out of the question.
Yesterday is four weeks since the operation and I am so happy that I am really feeling good. My pain level stays at about a 1-2. Which is amazing considering the pain used to be 7-8 at all times. I can take the kids to and from school and to and from their various after school activities. I feel like I am getting to be a mom to them again. I used to not be able to do much because the pain was very limiting in my life.
My goal is to be able to take them Trick or Treating this year. I hope I make it!

As far as the kids, they have been in school for about a month and a Half. They just got their progress reports and are ROCKING in all subjects.

Rougeh, is doing great. He has been a HUGE help during this last month with my healing and being on constant bed rest. Love that guy!
