Re: knee surgery OT - Donna

[Guest guest]

Hi Donna-

Interesting you should write. I have been meaning to write to you as I thought

your second knee surgery would be coming up soon. Love when this sort of thing

happens.

You are officially on my calendar and prayers will go up for your surgery.

Hugs back at ya-

Hi Sandie,

Thanks for your reply. So now I know that just because Don is still walking,

does not mean he is out of the woods. Don is very thin. The kids commented about

it today. He eats very good. I have his bowel regulated, and it is good. But, he

is still loosing a little more weight all along. He has weighed 200 lbs. But,

held his weight at 185 for years. Now, it is 143, and he is a tall man, about

6'2 " now, maybe 6'1 " . He is so stooped over it is difficult to tell.

I think eating is one of the biggest signs to look for in how he is really

doing. And, he is eating well.

Thanks again, Sandie, with love,

Imogene

started doing those things (clinching fist and going into a fetal position) that

they were close to the end. Yet, how can he get up (with help) and move around

without any trouble? He doesn't seem a bit close to the end to me.

her I would get sick from it. She must have forgotten. She said I only have on a

little bit. I told her it only takes a bee sting to kill some people, and that

is just a little bit.
