Sponge Baths and Vicodin

All I had was my phone for pictures...
Renee helped us to the car.
Christian had to eat ice chips before he could leave and he kept
asking the nurse it they used Evian water to make the chips.

The white box is a catheter that pumps pain
medicine directly into his joint.

Christian's knee has been hurting since he fell while we were rollerblading in NY...or in-line skating as he likes to call it (as if that makes it more manly). He finally went to the Dr. and found out that he would need to undergo a small surgery to repair a meniscus tear. However, once the Dr. got inside his knee he found that Christian's ACL was also torn...which means the recovery changed from 6 weeks to more than 6 months. The only thing he's excited about is renting one of those motorized shopping carts at Costco:)
