Knee Surgery

 Shawn's surgery is scheduled for today at 1:15 pm (we are supposed to be at the hospital at 11:15 am). Because of all of Shawn's various complications, we are opting to do this at United Hospital as overnight, rather than as day surgery. 

I'm hoping to be able to keep posting from time to time during her recovery, but if I disappear for a couple of weeks, know that I'm just busy being a PCA to my beloved wife.

Oh, at last! My very best wishes to both of you. I'll be thinking of you, and no discredit at all accrues to your disappearing, if you do.

Also thank you for the card in lieu of a postcard. The cow just makes me laugh and laugh.

I hope it all goes swimmingly! (In a good way, not in a river-rises-and-floods way.)

I have been through knee replacement. I can offer encouragement, and advice if wanted. Mainly, she will need to do her PT exercises once they teach her what to do. There are many devices and aids to make things easier after the surgery. A raised toilet seat, a walker, some grabbers, and even a sock aid can be helpful. Hoping for an easy recovery and great results for Shawn.

Hoping it all goes smoothly and recovery goes quickly and easily. (I've been enjoying the first two books of AngeLink. Read the first one on the evening of Nov 5th. It was pretty surreal that night.)
