Knee Surgery

[Joe Handley]

Mom's going in to have her right knee redone on friday. Guess the doctor not only works on White Sox and Bulls players, but also has royalty fly in to get worked on and has developed a replacement knee designed specifically for women too!

She got out of surgery and recovery ok and should be released monday morning! She did have elevated BP and Suger levels (she is diabetic) as well as an odd extra heart beat (low magnisium levels) so they're going to keep an eye on that while she is there. By the time we left (we got there at 10:45am and left around 8:45pm, yes it was a long day) the meds had her trying to fall asleep on more than one occasion. I've got to work tomorrow but am going to stop by after work and visit her.
