A Prayer for my Dad

[Lady Amy of York]

Lighting a candle for you and your family.  My FIL under went the same surgery, but do to his age they decided to go one knee at a time, rather than both at once.    Sending prayers for a strong recovery.  Keep us posted.  Peace and blessings

Thankyou mi' Lady.   Due  to my dad's  age  the   surgeon decided  to only  do  my dad's  right  knee. He  had  total knee  replacement and now has  a new  steel knee . He may  still have  the left  knee  done  in the  future,  time  well tell.     My  dad is  at home,  and has   a physical therapist  who comes  to the house  on a daily basis.  Because  of my  dad's  age  it is taking  longer  to heal, but he   is  slowly making progress. The  physical  therapist  has  him  up walking a round  for  a few  minutes  each  day  with  a  walker. My  dad saw  the  surgeon yesterday  and they took  the  staples  out of  his  knee.   they put him on a strong antibiotic  to ward off any infection.
    Peace  and  blessings  back  to  you .

 Update May 15,2009

            My dad has  a physical therapist  that  comes  every day  and  works  with him.  My dad  is  able  to  walk  around  the  house  with  a walker  and  with the help of  the  therapist my  dad   was  even able  to go up the  stairs  in  my  parents  house .   He is  off of the  antbiotics  for  infection  but   they still have  him taking  the  pain meds.
