• Amanda Post-op

  This is Valerie (otherwise known as @Gingeravenger) with Amanda's post-op update. She went into surgery early this morning to have several screws put in her right knee. She gets three doses of Loritab a day so she is never fully conscious. She has one more surgery still to go. Then the doctors will wean her off the painkillers and she will start to function better.

  

  Amanda gets to chill like this for another eight weeks. We don't know exactly when she'll be taken out of ICU, but we know it won't be for a good while. She's doing well for now. Her ankle surgery was put off. She had an "adverse" reaction to the anesthetic during her knee surgery so the doctors want to wait until she can "recover". She's looking good for now, but the drugs are starting to take their toll.
