On Monday, May 28th, the deed was done. We had it done in Park City with Dr. Lind the attending physician. He did the partial about 11 years ago and said it would last about that long. The arthritis and wear and tear had done its' work and it was time to get the full knee replacement now. They had a cancelation, so we were able to get in quickly. I have taken the whole week off school for it and am glad that I could do that to be here to help Paul get started on his recovery. It's going to be a while, but it will be worth it. Down the road he will have to have the other partial replaced most likely as well. The nurses and other hospital staff were great along with the doctor. I drove him home from the hospital on Tuesday afternoon. He has had his first physical therapy appointment here. Now onward to a great full recovery! Paul made it his work to get to know and visit with all of the staff who took care of him. I'm sure they all loved talking with him and hearing his jokes!
From Moss - "Eliza decided to join Grandpa as an invalid. Broke her clavicle shouldering a big cedar girl off the ball in her soccer game last night, Wednesday, May 30th. (And yes, she did win the ball.)" So sorry Eliza. Hope you heal quick! Love you! We've noticed how hard you've been trying to be more aggressive even though you're kind of a tiny mite among the bigs.
