Helping Heather Recover - ACL & Meniscus Surgery

I'm not one to ask for anything especially for myself, but today I am finally doing it, yet still contemplating not doing it, UGH! It only took around 4 months plus 10 days post op to do it! I had ACL & Meniscus surgery on Dec 29th. If you can help with a dinner or any Meal -homecooked, delivery or takeout would help out tremendously. Gift cards for odds & ends, groceries, or a meal since I'm not at home. A call, text or messages of encouragement also make my day a bit brighter. I could really use the support of my friends and family to get through this time post-OP. I haven't been home since Dec 29th due to the living upstairs. I'm back on crutches and in the TROM brace. I've been staying with my friend in Ocean Park. Thank you Betsy! I may be here until the end if the month. Joe has been my #1 since the beginning from Homecare, Dr visits, PT, pharmacy runs, cooking and everything in between. Now he is running between 2 households to do the same thing. If you see him around you can schedule a time to give him a meal. This has been a long and painful journey but I am finally on the mend!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for your love & support!!! Heather P.S. all the medical stuff....
