We are both totally distracted by Lunel's bilateral knee replacement. Things are going very well; she is home, up and using a walker with a list of exercises. She's got a ice machine for each knee and feels very encouraged at the progress to this date.
Thanks for all your emails and calls. We'll get another update soon.
July 2nd update: up and walking, moderate pain, exercises throughout the day and range of motion increasing. Today we begin serious work on stairs with the help of our neighbor CNA/PT friend who we have nicknamed "The Stair Master." More work ahead, but very encouraging so far.
Lunel's bilateral knee surgery is the 16th so we are likely to be a bit distracted for a week or two. Having both knees done at once is a big deal, but after the last two years we've been through she does not want to give up more time by having them done individually.
You're welcome to call, leave a message and we'll get back to you. She's confident in her doctor and her physical therapist is two streets away as is our wonderful massage therapist. She's supervised the planting of dozens of shrubs, trees ground covers and plants she'll be able to watch during her recovery and we've got a beautiful summer comin' in.
Thanks for all your good thoughts and well-wishes!
