Micheal

Micheal's surgery went well. At the conclusion Dr. Wilkinson came in and talked to us and said the bad news was his knee is in really bad shape. The arthritis is causing the bone to grind away. The good news is that it is in an isolated area only affecting the inside of the knee. Inside meaning the inside of his leg vs. the outside of his leg. Wilk said he will have to be very careful with it and for the first time in 8 years (he has done this surgery 4 times on Micheal) he mentioned a knee replacement. This after telling us in his office last month that Micheal wouldn't be a candidate until he got into his 50's. He took pictures and it is bad. BUT, PTL...he is pain free. Go figure...;) He took pain meds at the surgery center afterward, it was about 9:30 and he hasn't taken anything since and I just asked him and he said, Yep, pain free at the moment. Pretty awesome, huh?? God is good. Be sure to check his blog in the next few days (Cowboy Up, it is in my list) as he will be blogging.
