Wow! It has been 3 months since I last wrote a post. So much has happened in the last 3 months. My husband came back from his assignment to get a new knee. He injured his knee playing football in high school and has always had trouble with it. He has been waiting for new technology in the area of joint replacement to have his surgery done. We have know for quite a few years that he would have to have a replacement, and the last year made it evident that he could wait no longer. The surgery went well and he was home from the hospital in 3 days. The recovery has been an interesting adventure!
I got a glimpse into the future when one of us has to take care of the other as we get older! I didn't like the picture that was painted for me, but realize that I won't have a choice when the time comes. It was hard to see my relatively young husband ( mid 50's) using a walker, having to have help bathing and dressing, and not able to get anything for himself. It was an humbling experience for us both.
