Much
has happened in the last 2 weeks.
On
Monday the 18th Clyda had her left knee replaced. The
surgeon also found that the Medial Collateral Ligament had been
stretched at some point. He had to take 2 sutures in it and form some
sort of a sheath around it. Also her knee cap was very worn. This
complicated and lengthened the surgery.
However,
she was released on Wednesday morning and has continued her recovery
at home with the help of a Visiting Nurse Physical Therapist. She is
up frequently and even takes walks down the street using her stroller
of course. Progress is somewhat hampered by the very heavy knee brace
she must wear to keep the knee stable until the ligament has a chance
to heal.
Of
course this means I am again the Chief Cook and Bottle washer as well
as the Head Nurse. Actually things are progressing quit well. It's
not as if we haven't been through this several times already.
Other
than that, I have done very little around the house.
I
have puttered around with my list of to-do's for the RV but it still
has items to be attended to.
Clyda
has an appointment with the surgeon on Tuesday so that may give us an
indication of where things stand.
