Mom’s knee surgery
So, my Mom’s in the hospital. She had knee replacement surgery on Tuesday night. The doctor told us that she was in a lot of pain after the surgery, and that on Wednesday she would be just as bad. He said that the first day is really bad, but after that it would get better.
We went there on Wednesday, and much to our surprise, she wasn’t doing that bad. When we got there she was sitting up, reading the menu. She said that somewhere in the middle of the night, they got her medication right and she felt much better. It appears that Percocet is the way to go. So they had her on a machine that moves her leg, and walking around a little.
Yesterday, we figured would be the bad day, since she was getting all her tubes out and stuff. Again, we get there yesterday, and she’s up and chatting away. While we were there, we went for a walk down the hall. It was great.
Now, this doesn’t mean that she’s fine, but she’s doing really well. So well that we think she’s going home today instead of tomorrow. Good stuff.

Tuesday was bad… but Wednesday and Thursday she was awesome!
mama Bem is in our prayers!
Tell your mom that Wheelchair Lambie knows just how she feels, and that we all hope that she is up on her feet soon.
We LOVE You!!!!
Thanks for the well wishes. One week later I’m doing pretty well. Have to learn how to walk using the left leg again. Otherwise, great. Since I was anticipating the absolute worst scenario, all in all, it went better than expected. Glad to be home and on the road to recovery. Thanks again.!
