New knee sounds awful but hopefully eventually awesome??
That is the hope!! I will ask my surgeon to be sure to add the sound affects! I wonder if my insurance will cover it? (They don’t even cover the freakin ice machine so I doubt it.)
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Thrive to spite them
Yay new knee. Just as long as it's not an Evil Knee.
My Annoying Coworker is out because of a knee replacement. And apparently she hasnt been doing physical therapy but is supposed to return to work mid August.
There are otber changes at work. I won't be transferring departments. The company is doing something different with online grocery orders thst will shift more work to the contract drivers. Someone was asking me why they would make the changes and I was like....it moves it to contract drivers . They don't have to pay benefits or insurance or stuff. Saves them money.
But I'm not feeling as burnout a large part of it is not having to deal with the Coworker and listening to her complain and watching her slack off and then complain about how she is so over worked or watching her spend 30 mins or more talking to vendors that come in and not doing work
We might be getting a new store manager because the store manager of another store got fired and our manager wants the job because it's a higher volume store. And since he has been here our sales have grown.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
OMG, I’ve just spent three hours talking to literally 9 different people to resolve an insurance issue!
And the last call ended with me being dropped while being on hold. And when I tried to call back they were closed for the day!
So now I’m at the pharmacy just paying out of pocket and I’ll resolve the issue later.
Gah!!

It was! But I got my scrip, and then went to Alembic and had yummy food and a couple cocktails and struck up a lovely conversation with someone new (Hazel) and then ran into two more people I knew on the way out. So that counter balanced things somewhat.

Knee surgery went fine! Made it home and made it up to bed on the second floor this evening. May have to go down on my butt tomorrow though. Ice machine got here and it’s great!!!

The number of exclamation points suggests the meds are also great.
Glad you're all bionic and resting and ready to be iced!
