The orthopod says the surgery went well. CaliforniaPeggy and her new metallic knee are in recovery, waiting for a bed on a regular surgical floor. She wakes up for a while, then she sleeps for a while, etc. The nurses and techs are taking good care of her.

Thanks to all her friends on DU for encouragement and good vibes.

Update: CP was moved to a regular hospital room this afternoon. She will probably be there 3-4 days. She is getting oxygen, pain meds, and anti-nausea meds. She wishes she could bend her knee, which is immobilized for now. She's still very sleepy. Some time tonight she expects to get some food - clear liquids at first. All this is normal for the type of operation she had this morning.
