First no accident involved. Five years ago wife had a total left knee replacement, she often would tell me the new one didn't feel right and sometimes it would have some pain. As time went on the pain became more frequent and intense and since last year has been in a lot of pain 24/7. On Thursday Aug. 25th she had a partical replacement of the lower shin part and to the doctors surprise her artificial knee cap was loose and cracked,(MRI, Xrays did not reveal that info). Got her home from the hospital Sat. and she is doing well. Physical therapy begins Monday. Pain meds are working now and allowing her to catch up on some of the sleep she has lost over the past year. The last 3 or 4 months I really don't see how she endured the pain, I don't think I could have done it. So for a while I will wear all the hats around here, cook, maid, nurse, taxi driver, etc... Got to get her well for MV or at least enough to be my BSR. Thanks All. Wife and her ride 03RKC on the road to the Highlands, NC. (She said don't take my picture I look like crap)...women
