Upswing?

Kevin had surgery on Monday and it seems it went a lot better this time than last. He is already in physical therapy and hopes to be back to work in a couple of weeks. They did a lot more work this time than last so it took longer and he woke up in pain. There was a lot of scar tissue that wasn't allowing him to straighten his knee. They cleaned that up, flushed & rinsed his knee, smoothed out some jagged edges on his meniscus and manually straightened his leg. In a couple of weeks he will start to get lubricating injections because his knee cap is completely exposed because of arthritis. Poor guy...but of course good ole Kevin is in great spirits and ready to get back to his life!
Makenzie has been staying with us which has been really nice, but the reasons behind aren't the best. Poor girl. I am so lucky to have been raised in my loving, supportive and complete family. You never realize it until you are older...sometimes even too late to express.
Anyway, I am going to Email my momma right now and tell her I love her! You should do the same!
