Things were really going great with the new attitude-- until the right knee issue reared its ugly head.
For those who have visited and seen the right knee, it looks like it has a grapefruit attached. With all the other problems, it sort of slipped by. It wasn't really painful, and none of the medical folks seemed to think it was an issue, until someone (I think it was Mom) actually asked to have a doctor take a serious look at it.
It's dislocated.
It probably happened during one of the many moves, and actually probably happened during the first 3-4 months while she was unconscious.
So, there was kinda of screeching halt on the new attitude, and she seems very concerned with the possibility that surgery may be required to fix the knee. They are looking at it carefully and we still haven't heard the final word. They did give her a brace for it so far, but have slowed therapy (again), which also affects the attitude.
Meanwhile, I actually haven't seen her since last Monday (January 12th- Pam's birthday) due to night meetings and a nasty cold that I am still recovering from, but hope to see her today.
Her birthday is January 23rd; you can attach good wishes to her on this blog and I will print them out for her.
