NOT so great news~ Michele is having a very rough time with her knee. We were at the doctor yesterday for an xray and to get her stitches out. The doctor explained Michele's surgery in VERY simple words. They "broke" Michele's knee. Used two screws that looked to be about a couple inches long each and put them threw the front of her leg to fix the break. Then also attached the donor ligament with a "button" on the top of her knee. Drilled a hole into the side of the knee and put the other end of the ligament inside there being held with another pin. Basically a broken knee that they can not cast. She has to be very careful as it heals, but yet have physical therapy so she will be able to bend the knee and walk when the bone they broke is healed. Right now we are having a very difficult time keeping the swelling down. It is very difficult for her to take care of herself, so she is for the most part driving back and forth from Hays to home so she has someone to help care for her. We are doing the things most take for granted. The most frustrating part for Michele is people NOT understanding the extensive surgery she had. Everyone "assumes" it was just a simple knee surgery...... well, it was NOT.
