Mama's poor knee just couldn't take it anymore and it was time for surgery. I think she has put it off as long as she possibly can. Like with her hip, she was really nervous to go under anesthesia but I think her pain has been so horrible that she was a little excited too. She has been hearing so many great knee replacement stories and she is hopeful to be able to walk again without pain! That being said, she still has her other knee that needs to be done but she is hoping that will hold off a while. The surgery went great. It lasted several hours and they had a lot of cleanup in her knee to do but the doctor expects everything to heal well. Papa picked up all the kids after school to go up to the hospital to see her. It was fun to see all of them love on her and pray for her. Hudson held her hand for the longest time which brought back memories to Hadley being the same age and holding her hand after her hip surgery. She was smiling, happy, and feeling pretty well. We are thankful to have that hurdle overwith and hopeful for a good recovery and rehab. The last picture is a post-op picture of her knee with the 48 staples they had to use to close up the incision.
