New Knee

Day 5 and Ken is doing amazingly well. He is already bending at 90 degrees and walking without the walker. Pain has been manageable (with drugs). The Home health nurse changed the bandage today. I guess you would call this a railroad track.
To me this looks crazy. His new knee is nice and straight and his other one is still bowed out, waiting to be done. I am proud of you Ken!! :)

Full speed ahead

Wednesday Jan 12th Ken had a total knee replacement on his right side. Here he is just out of surgery. Smiling, and wearing his Tarbone Ranch cap that Hunter and Marti got him for Christmas...:)
One day after surgery he's up and walking. So proud of you!!! Barney socks,,teehee
He has been amazing, and the desire to walk and feel better is AWESOME..:)
Day two and still not complaining of much pain. We are PROUD of you Ken.
We are now home and Ken is puttering all around the house. He said the pain was a lot worse before the surgery. So we continue our pre-hike therapy.
Thank you David for spoiling Moxy and letting her hang out with you guys..:)
Karen thank you for spoiling me, you are such a wonderful friend.
Thanks for all the calls and messages and most of all prayers....:)
