Weather ???

We had some yucky weather today. It rained & hailed. The picture is of the hail on our deck. It started to rain while we were coming home from the hospital. We did have some hail too while driving, but not like it hailed after we got home.


Home Agian

Ed was able to come home early agian. The doctor & PT staff are surprised just how fast Ed recovers from surgery. Ed said it was so much better this time without the nerve block in the leg. Now we will start the rounds of trips to the PT appointments.

Little Visitors






Ed had visitors today so we had to have pictures. The doctor didn't take the dressing off today as there still is quite a bit of drainage. Doctor did tell Ed he was doing great & might be able to go home tomorrow. We are not sure if going home depends on how the drainage is doing.

Surgery # 4



Here is Ed after his 4th surgery in 8 weeks & 2 days. It was a total knee joint replacement on his left leg. He is doing fine & we are praying his recover goes as well as it did for the other leg.

My Turn?

Well not that I wanted a turn at being laid up but I got it just the same. On Wed. I sort of missed a step, I guess I must have hit the edge if it & ended up on the floor. My middle finger on my left hand hurt right away but soon the whole hand hurt. I spent a rough night. In the morning Ed decided I needed to see the doctor. The doctor figured I had some thing broken so ordered 3 xrays. The xrays showed the bone in the hand that goes up to the ring finger was broken. He put me in a cast that is only on the bottom of my arm then wrapped with a ace bandage. I can take it off to shower but can't use the hand for any thing. It is very hard to do things with just one hand. I am glad I am right handed. The hand & fingers are very swollen & bruised. I have to wear this cast for four weeks. We are wondering how it will go next week when Ed has his next knee joint replacement surgery. We will trust God to see us through this too.
