Dear Presbytera,

First thank you so much for all the prayers, they really help me this morning. Everything went just fine!

I did have a meniscal tear, but also quite a few pieces of cartilidge floating around, that got suctioned out. Had no problem with nausea or pain, at least not so far. Sitting in Mother's cell with my leg elevated and Mouse on my lap; what could be better, than a dog helping with recovery.I'm also very happy that I can do partial weight bearing, makes it a lot easier to move around on the crutches.Again, all of you, thank you so much for thoughts and prayers; they are very much appreciated!In Christ, Mother Kypriane

               Unworthy nun Mother

Evlogeite

I am writing with Presbyteras blessing.

Please forward to Mother Kypriane,

Presbytera copied your email to me.  Thank God everything went well.     Incidentally, several years ago during surgery, like you soft cartilage was suctioned from my shoulder.    For 5 years my shoulder kept me up at night, regardless of innumerable shots of cortisone.  I haven't had a pain in my shoulder since and I hope you enjoy the same complete recovery.  

As for the rest of me, Presbytera suggests I have a head transplant.   What do you think?
