After my ACL reconstruction surgery, part of my healing was to be in a knee bending machine for 6 hours a day. Since I was to spend so much time with this new-found knee bender, I named him Bob Bender! I also named my crutches, Bob and Larry. Mr. Icey became the name of the ice pad and cooler machine for my knee. This added some laughter into the quietness of the day until my home came alive with my children and husband at days end.
