Just wanted to pass on to you that I am home and doing OK. I have about a 8 inch incision on my left leg that looks cool but hurts like a ____! My Mom has come down from Montana to help out with me and entertain Aly and Adrienne's mom is due in Thursday to do the same. Adrienne's boss was very helpful too by letting her take time off to care for me with no penalty, Thanks Carolyn!
My road to recovery starts today with very light PT. It is amazing what little I can do right now. I can barly lift my leg up so getting in and out of bed is next to impossible. Going to the bathroom as been a challenge and that's only going pee. I have a 16 inch riser on the toilet to help me sit when the other calls. I can't bend my leg more than 70 degrees, cross my legs, turn in my toe or sit normally. I also have to sleep on my back, something I have never been able to do. It will get easier I hope, it's just about 6 weeks out before it's allowed.
A thank you to all who offered prayers and well wishes on my operation and recovery. I am blesses to have all of you and your thoughts.

Kevin- We're glad to hear you are back home and you are being taken care of. We know what you're going through- hang in there! It will get easier. We'll have you over if a few weeks or whenever you are feeling up to it! Take care! Let us know if we can do something in the meantime.
