Partial knee not a totally new one!

Well, today my mom went under the knife for knee replacement surgery. The doctor wasn’t sure if it was going to be a full knee replacement or just a partial replacement. Good news, it was only a partial replacement! The picture shows what a partial replacement consists of. This means less recovery time, less rehab, and less pain. I am sure right now she can’t tell the difference between the pain of a partial or a complete, since I am sure it extremely painful! Having had a couple of knee surgeries myself, I know that once they cut you open it hurts no matter what! But we (the family) are very happy to know that it is only a partial replacement and she will be back to herself in a lot less time. I personally know how tough recovery and rehab can be for knee surgery and my mom has a tough few weeks/months ahead of her, but I know she is determined to get back to full strength as soon as she can so she can resume doing what she does best, being a wonderful Mimi to her 9 grandkids! I know my boys can’t wait until they can go back to their Mimi and Pop’s house where they always have a great time.

Get well soon Mimi!
