Knees' Eve

I would really love to take a shower.

That's what I've been thinking now for a solid week. For the first three weeks of my invalidship, I actually didn't mind not showering. The time savings was great! And -- while he's biased, I hope my husband will back me up here -- I think I actually managed to remain clean and odor-free with various non-shower cleaning methods. But now, one month in, I would just really enjoy the ease and simplicity of washing hair and body in one convenient, water-resistant place, and not standing in the bathroom on bending over the sink.

There are many things I would also like to do: bend my knee, do the laundry, carry a purse, see my knee. Tomorrow, if all goes well, I may get to do some of these. If things go okay, I will be told I need to wear my brace for another period of time. If things go badly, I imagine, they will remove my brace and I will discover my knee doesn't work and I will have to drag myself around by my arms. So in any case, something to report by tomorrow.
