Successful Surgery

Thank you prayer warriors!!!!


Ed's surgery is over, wonderfully done, and he is managing his pain very well.

What a trooper!!!!


WE are home from the hospital already. Surgery was Tuesday morning.

He was up walking three times the day of the surgery.

Now for the queasy part: (Don't read if you are easily nauseated!)

Ed's bones were broken. He had to replace the pieces in his knee to be able to stand up without excruciating pain. Like building blocks.

The implants that they used had to be adjusted to an even longer length than the ones they used last time. This being said, the necrosis is GONE from that right knee, and Ed should have the device for DECADES.

The fragments are gone, the skin is closed up and already almost healed. I am the 24/7 "nurse" for the next week, then I can leave him for short periods of time.

He's up and walking with a walker. The terrible pain was yesterday morning, but they still let him go home. He's already looking forward to hiking and living a normally active life.

His job as a bank teller required him to be on his feet a lot, so that should be going far better too.


So happy. So grateful. So relieved! I credit the LORD for answering all our prayers!

PRAISE THE LORD!
