Mike's having knee replacement surgery on Monday, Sara, Newbies

[Guest guest]

Hello all...As my subject line

states..Mike's knee couldn't wait until Fall for replacement.

So, we're getting stuff set here this week. Casseroles, extra

shopping, moving stuff out of the way like throw rugs

and movable furniture that might get in the way of a walker. He goes

in the hospital on Monday very early and will be home

(barring trouble) on Wednesday afternoon. Our Youngest Son Sam will be

staying here for a few days to help out in what ever we need.

He works crazy hours ands goes to college but will be here the rest of

the time. That will give me chances to relax and literally catch

my breath. The doctor is a family friend with the best reputation with

knees and was able to get Mike scheduled quickly.

The Dr. has already said that he doesn't want me( because of the NSIP)

to stay in the hospital very long...we live only 15 minutes away.

So I'll get Mike situated, go home, and then go back when the surgery

is over and Mike is in his room.

Even then, I'll wear my mask.

..Sam, will help with anything that Mike usually does like heavy

cooking, heavy lifting, trash, lugging laundry.

He'll be able to keep Mike company so I'll be able to walk outside

weather permitting.

Another topic...SARA IS ONE YEAR OLD TODAY...isn't it amazing

how fast time flies?

She spent this afternoon here walking continuously...she's a little

walking machine. I'm pooped!

She sat long enough for lunch, stayed sort of still for a diaper

change, but that's it. She walked and

explored this entire house, trying door knobs, drawer pulls, cabinets.

We've sort of baby proofed

the house but I followed her around. Did I say I was pooped?

I'll post the official One Year photo as soon as I get it.

Welcome to the newbies... and

and the nameless( wlfurr55) person from this morning.

As you can see we don't always post about PF, but it flavors our lives

each day.You've found the

right place with the best people. Welcome to the "air family"

I won't be on the chat line tonight, we have company for dinner.Mike is

doing the cooking!!!

At least I get good left-overs for next week!
