Just to update all of you on Gary's impending knee replacement surgery- he met with the surgeon today and is scheduled for surgery on Monday Feb 2. We won't know what time until the weekend before. If all goes well, he will be in the hospital for 2-4 days afterward and then come home. The Visiting Nurses or Physicial Therapists will come to the house for a week to work with him. After that he will go out to for PT for several weeks. So, that's the plan at this point. He's sticking to a diet very well and losing weight, about 15 lbs so far. Obviously, the less weight on the healing knee the better. He's been in so much pain for the last few months that he's actually looking forward to this!
So that's it for now from us............. hope you are all getting and staying healthy! Love to all!

If you need any help after the operation, like transportation help or whatever, let me know and I will be there for as long as you need. Vicki and I were going to take a little break down at Myrtle Beach about that time so we can just come up and stay at Mom's instead. It's no problem, so don't hesitate to let me know.
