Shop Class 101

I just returned home from the hospital where I had full elbow replacement surgery. Recovery is going well, thanks to the wonderful invention known as pain medication.

The surgery itself went longer than expected due to my bones in the elbow being smaller than expected. I happened to wake up half way through surgery, and even though I could not feel anything, I could hear EVERYTHING. That's right, the metal on metal pounding, the saw, doctors leaning over me and talking about a piece not fitting. Yikes! I apparently told the surgeons when it was all over that it sounded like Shop Class. They thought I had a very good attitude. Hee.
