Quick Update on Donna

We'll it's been 9 days since Donna's surgery. We've very busy doing all the things that the doctors and physical therapist said to do and I'll be honest and say it's tough. Donna has had some minor set backs as she had her surgical foot became swollen and VERY painful to the touch. At one point she couldn't put any weight on it. After several days of going to the doctor and being tested for blood clots in the leg, we are happy to say there are none. Now that her foot pain has subsided, then she's developed severe lower back pain. Seems as though the trauma of the knee surgery is moving around her body. Of course, this makes it hard to get rest at night (or anytime) and put her a bit behind on her PT. I am happy to report that as of today she is feeling better and the pain is much less! Thursday we go to the doctor, get the staples out of her knee and get a checkup! It interesting because the knee itself has been the lesser of all the pains. Donna won't let me post a pic of her actual incision. If you'd like to see it, just email me and I'll get it out to you. The healing process is very slow and we'll keep you in the loop as it becomes available. Donna and I want to thank everyone for their support at this trying time. We couldn't have made it without you! Stay tuned.
