The knee replacement surgery went very well.  The doctor was pleased with his work and there were no complications.  Now all that

Today Pauline went for her follow-up appointment with the orthopedic surgeon.  He said her knee looked great and she was recovering better than he expected.  That was great news.  He also said it would take a year for her knee to be totally healed.  She should be able to drive in about two weeks or so.  Tomorrow she will see the physical therapist at home for the last time.  After that, she will start to go to the hospital for physical therapy.

Pauine has been having other health issues.  She has had problems with her adrenal glands in the past and it is possible she has had an adrenal crisis that was triggered by the surgery.  Her primary doctor ordered a special test to check this out.  She had to get a cortisol shot and exactly an hour later, have her blood taken.  She should get her lab results by tomorrow.

Cindy is also recovering nicely.  She continues to get stronger and was able to walk a little bit without her walker.  Tomorrow she goes to her new primary care doctor for the first time.

That’s the update for now.
