I'M B-A-A-A-CK!

Duke has informed you of my progress :).  I am doing much better than last time, and my knee is healing well.  I don't have the stamina yet to do much, but it's nice to be pain free most of the time.

Our daughter Bethany flew in from Arizona for ten days for my surgery, and she helped a great deal, giving Clark a break from cleaning, cooking, and laundry.  Our daughter Holly spent the first night in the hospital with me.  Clark is, of course, the best husband on the planet, bar none.  I could go on and on about the family, but you get the idea :).

The photos below were taken at our home four days after my surgery.  It was so good to have us all together, minus our son-in-law Kurt, who remained in AZ for work.

I am doing very well at this writing, having begun my physical therapy.  I am able to do more than I could at this point in time with the last surgery.  I look forward to getting completely healed and doing things I haven't been able to do in years!

God is good, and our friends at church have taken good care of us in the way of meals, calls, cards, and visits.  We are so appreciative.

I'll be back soon!

JUST IN CASE . . .



I may or may not post again before my second knee replacement surgery next Tuesday, May 20.



Soooooo, if you notice that I haven't updated the blog for a few weeks, you'll understand.

We don't have a laptop for home use since we've never really needed it.  After my first knee surgery, however, I could not sit at the computer desk for quite awhile because my leg would swell when I left it down.

Thank heavens for my comfy recliner!

We may get that laptop one of these days, but it's not a big deal.

I just ask for prayers regarding my surgery and recovery . . . and for my hubby Clark and our two daughters Holly and Bethany, who will be my "servants" during my recovery period.


And for Duke, too, of course!

SIGNING OFF FOR A SHORT WHILE





I'm having keen replacement surgery tomorrow, Feb. 4 - I'll be in the hospital for three days.

I will return to posting on this blog as soon as I am able to do so!

Your prayers are appreciated :).
