My mother is finally having her first knee replacement
 

Okay, one week from today. My mom will have one of her knee's replaced.
I am sad, because I had planned to take the day and some other's after
it off and be there.

But because she has waited and waited to get the other doctor's to okay
this surgery. She was just okayed today. I've had a committment to
go with my daughter-in-law and Grandson to speech evaluation that
afternoon for almost a month. We have already waited for months for
this. Because they lost it for some reason.

My mom understands but feel bad. But I will take tm off and arrange
to be there. Driving back and forth for pt and for the weekends, to
get Derrick so he can be over there with me.

Donna,
Save yourself and your dil and grandson -- stick with the plan.
Your mother will benefit from your help later.


Good luck.
M

Yes I plan to do just that.

I don't plan to tell her my dil that its going on till later.

So she doesn't have to feel guilty.

Donna:grouphug:

I hope no one has to feel guilty about this- it's just unfortunate timing. :hug:
You will be there for your mom when you can.
I'm glad she's getting her knee done- after she heals, she will be better for it.

My mother did well through surgery. She did run a slight fever this
evening.

I don't know much more yet. I had hoped to go see her tomorrow
and stay a couple of days. But Derrick is sick tonight and I think
running a fever.

I'm guessing I'm going to be home with him tomorrow. Taking him
to the doctor.

I'm afraid he might have strep.

Donna:grouphug:

Dear Donna,
I'm send well wishes for you and your family members.
M.

I didn't get to go to see mom today. But I'll go tomorrow hopefully.

So far if I've planned to, Derrick has been sick. But then we had
bad storms yesterday and a delay for school.

And I was supposed to take hm to work tomorrow.
Now I can go to a meeting I need to. Then to therapy for my shoulder
and see my mom.

And stay a while. She had to have blood today.

Donna:grouphug:

I'll say some good words for you and your family
:hug:Donna:hug:

If she received blood today then her count was really low...she should feel better.
you are a good daughter

I went to see mom. She is really down and restless, and of course tired.
But the therapy wore her out. She will get better as the days go by.
