Grandma Banana gets a new knee.

Maggie, Liz and I were on the schedule for months in anticipation of my mom's upcoming knee surgery. We had tv shows, meals, shifts, and nothing but time for our mom. The time for surgery was finally here on 10/7 and to say she rocked the process is an understatement. She was home and moving and doing her exercises as instruced and she absoulutely wowed her PT, PA, and doctor. She had a minor setback becuase she couldn't tolerate some of the pain medication, but once we worked out those issues, the road to recovery wasn't too long. 

It was fun to be with her, to care for her like she has cared for me all of these years. We got to cook and clean for her, read to her at bedtime, refill her ice, and to make sure she was on the right track. 

Next up is the next knee and we get to do it all over again, I secretly can't wait...thanks to Dave for running the homefront while I was away.
Back away, walker!
