Guest guest Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 Yippee!!!!!!! Thanks so much for letting us know Debs. This is such great news. You're now on the road to recovery. I'm glad the new hospital treated you so well. Now tomorrow comes more pain relief when you get your Remicade. Things are really looking up for you. I hope your pain passes quickly and that knee gives you NO more troubles. healing hugs, a On Thursday, May 9, 2002, at 11:02 PM, Auntblabbie2000@... wrote: > Hi all, > > First of all, thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the > candle > lighting and prayers.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2002 Report Share Posted May 11, 2002 Great news Debs! Since a chunk of bone was removed, what does that mean exactly. Does the bone regrow, or does it cause instability? Here's hoping the pain goes away soon!! It's nice you didn't have to stay in the hospital. My only stay in a hospital was several years ago for thyroid surgery. I spent about 24 hours, and that was too long for me!! Suzanne (If it's this hot in north FL, what is it like in your neck of the woods?)
