Knee surgery

My darling bride had knee surgery this morning to "clean up" arthritis that has been increasingly uncomfortable and debilitating. When finished, her doctor came out and told me the prognosis; there isn't much cartilage left, he had to repair the meniscus, and it's basically bone on bone. At the outside, she's got 5 years or so until a knee replacement will be necessary. I've known a number of people who've had that procedure. To a man, they all say they wish they'd done it 15 years earlier. They walk pain-free for the first time in years. With Kim's other health issues, I'm not sure it would be that simple, but it appears to be an inevitabilty. Anyway, she came out of anesthesia just fine and did just great getting into the car after the surgery and from the car to the house afterward! I'll tell you - she's a trooper! The only problem I've had is getting her to sit still and let me wait on her! She keeps jumping up for this or that, telling me all the while that she doesn't do "sit still" very well. She's taking a nap now, and a well-deserved one at that. If you're reading, please pray that God will help her heal quickly and delay the necessity of the artificial knee for a long time! - Dan
