Bill is home now minus some tissue!

Bill made it through his surgery in good shape this am. The dr. told us he took out quite a bit of "junk" and he is now bone against bone in the knee. He will probably have to have a knee replacement soooner than the dr. thought. Bill will know when he is ready he said. He also said he had quite a bit of arthritus in his knee. He is now in the recliner with his knee up and the knee wrapped up and on an ice wrap attached to a "motor" in a cooler which the nurse told him it could become a "great beer cooler".... :) (sorry for the long run-on sentence!)

Anyway, we spent most of the day at the hospital which was very nice and the staff was really nice. I was really impressed with the dr. also.... he took a long time explaining what he found and answered all my questions. Not in a hurry as some always are.

So now the recooperation begins....stay tuned.... as he is already saying "I need this and that"... haha!!! It MAY get a little crowded in this rig before the end of the week! haha!!!!

So that is about the extent of our day today. Andy had to go to the dentist this am and got a tooth recapped..... good day for the economy of Soldotna! :)

Until next time!
