Well I went under the knife on Tuesday morning


I have been trying to get my right knee feeling better, for over a couple of years now. 
While I was playing tennis swimming and doing all kinds of things. My right knee has been hurting. 
I went and had three chordzone and steroids shots. Then I tried (don't know the name) pig guts shots. (3) three of them. They helped for about a month, But the pain keeps coming back. I knew one of these days I would need a replacement. I guess today is the day??? 
Jeanne brought me and was with me as much as she could be, 




Just comparing knee sizes. One on the left is bone on bone inside of the knee cap area. 


They are making me pretty for the doctor. I guess I was under the knife for two (2) half hours. 


It really is amazing thing they do these days. 




I guess I was in recovery at this time. I don't remember this picture. 


Right after I got into my room I wa told to stand up. Which I did. I even walked around the room a little. 


I remember this coffee was so good. The crackers too. Remember when you get a operation of any kind, Fasting is always there. 


Then for dinner I got this. My doctor came in Dr. Stanton came in to see how I was doing. 
He explained all he did and what he wants me to do next. 
That night I was asked to walk around. Which I did. My therapist (Tom) had me walk from one end of the hall way to the other end with a walker. I slept pretty good, I think? I was under some good drugs, I guess? 
The next morning, Tom came back in and had a cane for me to try that out. He showed me how to use it. He told me to use the cane on the same side the bad knee is. I walked up and down the hallway. 
Okay NOW I am home now and doing pretty good.


Well I was surprised on Thursday night (My birthday) The kids came over and we had a nice piece of cake. I am loved. 
During the week-end I walked around a long and kept trying to  get better. 




 Jeanne and I have been out shopping at different stores. I did walk to much on Saturday and Sunday.  
On Monday my therapist (Guy) came to visit at the house. 
He asked me to walk with the cane to show him how I am doing. 
He told me I was doing it WRONG. The cane should be on the opposite of the bad knee. 
Thinking I was showed just the opposite at the hospital ???? 
On Tuesday I stayed home and used the ice and did as I was told..
Jeanne went out an shopped all day long. Now it is Wednesday morning.  I am staying home and doing the right things to get walking again.  Jeanne is out shopping again. plus other things she want to get done before Christmas. 
Folks my prayer is going well on your end and really am looking forward in playing tennis again one day. 
Hey all, CHRISTMAS is almost HERE!!!!!
Remember the reason for the season= JESUS CHRIST. 
Please pray for our nation and look forward in seeing all His has planned for 2021
