Knee Replacement Surgery Report...

This is Mr. Bird Nest reporting in on Gretchen's knee surgery she had at 8:00 a.m. this morning.  We had to get up at 4:00 a.m. to be at the hospital by 5:30 a.m.


The hospital she went to is St. Francis Women's Hospital in Greenville, SC.  They are terrific and if you have to be in a hospital this is a good place to be.


Now for the report......



__________ Gretchen survived and will be ready to shop on E-Bay as soon as she can get home on Thursday and drag her laptop to the bed.  She won't be able to drive for 8 weeks.

Knee Replacement Surgery

002   


My desk at Bird Nest Cottage is going to be empty for a few days.  Monday, March 30 I am having knee replacement surgery on my right knee.  I should be home by Thursday and I'll look forward to seeing what all of you have been up to then.


For anyone who is interested, Mr. Bird Nest will publish something Monday afternoon to let you know how this procedure goes.  I'm very sure that tomorrow will be a pain free day as long as I get to keep my morphine pump.  After physical therapy starts, your guess is as good as mine.  I'll have a private duty nurse, my wonderful DIL Noelle for two days.


Thanks for all your well wishes and prayers.  When I began blogging almost a year ago I never thought I would end up meeting so many wonderful friends with such caring hearts.


Thanks for reading,


Gretchen
