Mom had an appointment this morning with the knee doctor. We expected her to have surgery tomorrow on the knee due to continued problems. It just wasn't getting better with therapy. In fact, the doctor finally stopped therapy and told her back in August to have surgery or he would dismiss her. So, surgery was scheduled for tomorrow; pre-op appointments were today.
However, she's back in Coppell with us. The doctor has reconsidered some of the medical treatments and has determined he would be surgically trying to repair a problem that was in part being caused by medicine. So, they are changing the medicine regime and she has another appointment next month to see if the new medicine is making any difference.
She is in a lot of pain with the right knee. This morning, it felt as if it had a fever; it was very hot compared to the left knee. I don't know how that was addressed (maybe through the medicine), but hopefully we will see a change.
On to other issues...
The house in Big Spring has been on the market for over a year now. Back in the summer, we discovered a new Senior Citizens living area being built right around the corner from where the nursing home was in Lewisville. Long story short-- they have been approved for an apartment there and can move in late March-early April 2011.
There is a pretty good nibble on the house right now, so maybe it will sell soon. If it sells before the apartment is ready, we are planning to move them into our house until it is ready. Won't be the first time they have lived with us, so no problem!
That's catching you up quickly! I'll try to keep better tabs on this! Keep watching for further updates!
