2010 is here, what a lovely number, all round and soft and enticing and full of promise.
Conner will turn 1 year old, Roger hasn't bought a car in several years so he's due, Jan got a raise just in time for the new year to bring an increase in home owners dues, whew.
So, what else does 2010 promise?
Jean will get a new knee. Or as Jerry so aptly put it, the Dr will take a chain saw and cut off her leg. That is one way to look at it -- I suppose. I keep trying to rewrite it in my head but am failing miserably. Bionic? Re-engineered? Re-structured? Down sized? Or as we told Josephine when she had breast cancer surgery, she had a true and falsie. I need some help here: Mark? Nora? Jeff?
I hope someone will blog frequent updates of her progress, because not every one can be there, although there will be a bunch; Cathy, Brittany, friend Nancy, Janice, Jerry, Jane, Amber and family, neighbors, probably strangers. Knowing how beloved Jean is, it wouldn't surprise me.
I remember the recovery time is six weeks. I suppose there will be lots of physical therapy, pain medicine, breakfasts in bed, hobbling to the bathroom, flowers, cute cards, monitoring of pee-pee, pampering, encouraging, inspecting the incision, chauffeuring, special treats, good weather, and...
...Jean will have a lovely new knee that is all round and soft and enticing and full of promise.

We like the term Bionic,so she can kick people where it hurts if need be! Granny will sure to be treated like royality and Cathy and me will throw her some lunchables every now and than! [joke] Hope everyone had a wonderful xmas!
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say? Let's just get it over with or as Ron White would say "Get her Done".
ReplyDeleteAttended the pre-op class at the hospital last week and received a notebook (full of instructions), do and don't and what to expect. My Coaches (as they are called) Cathy and Brittany also attended, they are suppose to encourage me and assist me. I also had blood work done, an EKG and was pre-admitted to the hospital. We meet serveral people who knows our beloved Jane and her family. Janice will also be here for two weeks after Cathy returned to Tyler and Brittany will be in school.
Cathy received a nice Christmas greeting (Tyler is closing) so I guess she will be on the move again (don't know where to next maybe Houston).
We had a great Christmas (14 feet of snow and all), Cathy, Pat, Chris and Brittany were here for dinner and gifts. Brittany had wanted a white Christmas but not a blizzard.
Someone will keep everyone posted on my progress after surgery. On January 04, I will be at the at 5:15 AM and surgery is scheduled for 7:15.
Happy New Year to all.
