A busy week
here at home…..
On Wednesday
Clyda had “revision” surgery on her 2004 knee replacement. The plastic plate on
which the knee joint rests and rotates was worn and deteriorating to the point
the knee became unstable. The “revision” surgery replaced the plastic plate
with a lifetime unit which was also thicker thus providing less movement in the
joint. Clyda should feel more stable as she walks.
The surgery
went well and with the use of a “nerve block” in her leg she had no pain for a
day and a half. She was released on Friday and is doing very well. She uses a
walker to get around but in truth, could get by with a cane. She has Physical
Therapy here at home provided by Visiting Nurses.
Meanwhile, I
have been cleaning up the RV. I have all the sinks, shower and bathroom
cleaned, carpets vacuumed, and all the provisions removed. As usual, I have a
few items which need fixing. Some of those have been done already but the
biggest item is to try and get a vent line from the bathroom sink out to the
vent stack from the shower. At present there is an auto vent under the bathroom
sink which allows the sink to drain properly but also allows gas from the grey
water tank to vent back under the sink.
The main
obstacle to adding a vent line is the AC channel running fore and aft between
the ceiling and the exterior roof. If I can find a work around, adding the vent
line would be beneficial. I am trying to do this without putting another hole
in the roof.
