Title: Carol - an update!
Post by: Knoll on May 30, 2018, 03:56:50 pm
Easiest way to comm with all the PA family is through here. So here goes.

Today was back surgery day.
We left house bit after 6 am. Hospital had pre-surgery routine accomplished and in pre-op room by 8. Then "alllll the questions" routine.
Staff wheeled her off to surgery about 9:30.
She was in Recovery by 11:30. And back to her room about 1 pm.
We are back home now! Technology is truly wonderful, much of the time.
And she can move that left knee relatively pain free that was sooooo excruciatingly painful!!

Now the road to recovery . . . but something to look forward to. Fingers crossed.

Carol said "Thank You" for all the well-wishes extended during last couple months!!! We hope to see many of ya at Elm Hall.

Big thanks to all.
Today Carol is motoring briskly in house with the walker ... progress.
Lawn needs mowed. So tomorrow may throw her on the mower.    >:D

Yep, just the therapy she'd need after back surgery.  :o Bouncing around on a mower.  ::)
Of course we know you are just kidding.  ;)
Err, you ARE just kidding right...?  ???

Uhhhh, that may not sit well!  Next week, maybe! >:D.  Can't rush things too much, but sounds like she is doing well!  She may be content with chasing arrows for a few more days!  Assuming the Walker has off road wheels (lol)!

Glad to hear the good news. Add my wishes to speedy recovery to all the others, please. And remind her that until she is up to speed you are pretty much without adult supervision.  Motivation is key to recovery.

Glad the surgery went well and I will continue to remember y’all in prayer.  Sorry I was late with my comment.  We just bought a house and moved.  I may need some work on my back after that. Seriously though - give her a few days before you sing the “put another log on the fire” song.

Again, we thank all for kind words and encouragement.
Yesterday was milestone. Carol motored herself behind walker all around backyard as she checked on her flowers and veg garden. Then, later, made grandkids their fav ... spaghetti.
Progress continues . . . . .

Glad she is doing well. Being trapped in the house with you must be good incentive for therapy! -C-
