Grandma's Hip Surgery

Wednesday was my Mom's hip replacement surgery.  She has been dealing with constant pain and been unable to walk more than a few steps.  This day has been greatly anticipated!!  

Ryan, Melissa & I joined Dad & Mom before the surgery at the hospital.  After kissing her goodbye, we headed to the waiting room and waited, waited, waited.  The surgeon came out and gave us the good news......success!!  After a bit more, we greeted Mom in her room and were so happy to see her feeling good.  What a relief!  Mick and the girls joined us later in the afternoon too.  Of course, now it will be different pain while she is doing physical therapy.  Tomorrow she'll be home & able to sleep without the constant "checking on you" interruptions.

Happy that part is over Mom and can't wait till you are mobile and feeling great!!!

Love ya!

  1. Good luck to your Mom in her recovery. I loved the sign in her room "Heal like a cheetah!" :)
