only once have I ever felt pain like this

Today I had the 3rd and hopefully last surgery on my left knee. My knee is absolutely killing me. If I don't move at all, it's almost bareable. Any subtle or slight movement sends stabbing pain. I tried standing after I had slept for a few hours and I was sweating and almost threw up. I was totally dehydrated.

For those unaware, I had the two staples removed that were left from the original surgery 9 years ago. Now I have a very deep bone bruise and a freshly stitched reopened scar.

I woke up after the surgery and the Dr. gave me the hardware removed. The staples are HUGE. When I can eventually walk over to the scanner, I'm gonna scan these suckers and add them into this blog post so you can see.
As promised:
