I had knee surgery on May 22. This was the sight I got to look at for the first week or two.
The surgery went very well, but the recovery was so hard!
Nice people in our ward brought us dinners and treats. That was such a blessing!
The biggest blessing during my recovery was that this little guy didn't want to leave my side. He sat next to me all day and we read book after book after book after book. Then watched movies and played games too.
After a month, I could start walking on it which was nice but difficult too. This wheelchair was invaluable while I was recovering.
When we went to Disneyland. we rented this wheelchair. It was awesome! It was such a lifesaver.
My girls loved it too!
My knee survived Disneyland
I was working my butt off in physical therapy and my bend was coming along, but my leg would not straighten all the way. As hard as I tried and as hard as the physical therapist pushed me, it wouldn't progress, so on July 15 I had a manipulation where they put you under and bend and straighten your leg like crazy. I'm SO grateful that we did this, because it made all the difference! My knee is now progressing and doing so much better.
Plus, I got a lot of sympathy from my cutie pie little Ty!! Oh, how I love him!
My knee is still weak and it definitely isn't all healed, but each day it gets a little stronger and I feel a little better. I was scared to start school, but it has been going well and my knee isn't hurting when I go home, so I know it is coming along!
The girls loved getting to take a rose from the casket bouquet. Ashly wanted to place hers on Grandma and Grandpa's headstone.
At the luncheon, Tyler said he wanted more water and we said okay then got distracted, so Tyler helped himself to the water...literally. :-) Love that kid!
