Well, the first knee is complete and Mom is doing great! We made it to the hospital at 0530 this AM; she was in the OR by 0730 and in her room by 1100. She was a trooper!! Aside from some initial nausea and dizziness, which was relieved with medication and time, she is having NO pain! The constant passive motion machine that she has on her leg was running for at least 6 hours from 0-90 degrees! That is nearly FULL range of motion and definitely enough to walk! She is a good patient doing her deep breathing and wiggling her toes! THANK YOU all who have been praying that this surgery go smoothly; your prayers have been answered! Now tomorrow's goal is to sit in a chair and maybe walk a little bit. We will see how she fares.
I, on the other hand, besides, nursing Mom, am getting ready for an overnight getaway to Jensen Beach. I am meeting a friend there for a day and a half of meandering through an art show, museum excursions and relaxation! Am looking forward very much to my little getaway! Since I have not been to this area of Florida before, it will be a nice adventure for me!
Thanks again for all those praying and I will keep you up to date on Mom's progress.
