Something my mom has debated for YEARS. She remembers the FIRST time she injured her knee when she was a kid falling out of a tree. Countless other injuries after that to include a slippery day on the Okemo slopes. It was time to thank that knee for all its effort and get a new one. NOTHING is easy about that decision. My sister came up the night before to help out. Love the knee markings.
Time to wheel her in. It amazes me what these doctors can do. Take care of this sweet lady!
Meanwhile, we needed to take care of the other guy. A little taboo for the evening. I even got to take Maddie and Shane to see Barbie - we sat front row (which as you can appreciate is not ideal)
She came home the next day, my sister had everything set up so there was plenty of mobility around the first floor. My mom had researched and picked up all kinds of helpful things like elevatored toilet seat, 2 different ice coolers, a couple walkers etc. She wanted to be as independant as possible! Being out of surgery was a HUGE relief. Now each day to get a little more mobile. The PT was helpful in 'pushing' her body to use that knee right!
