"DIS"knee!

4th time is a charm!!!!

After a long 8 months of fighting infection and 3 previous surgeries on this poor knee, 
today was the day for the final surgery!
Yay! 
I love that the anesthesia guy was sweet enough to text me pictures.
I love working in a hospital where I have such complete trust in these people and they treat everyone so well. 


I'm not squeamish, except knowing that it is Howie having to have this done. 


I told Paul (anesthesia guy) to take care of Howie.
He sent this picture and told me he was sleeping like a baby.

After a 4 hour surgery to give him the best outcome, he's finally in the room. 

And this doc!!! Dr Eysser is the absolutely most amazing ortho guy!
He and Rex his PA have been so amazing. We have shared tears and frustrations and lots and lots of prayers. 
We feel so blessed.

The surgery was yesterday morning and he came home today by noon.
Whew!

Wow, Howie is home so soon after knee surgery. All the best to him for a speedy recovery. 4 hours is a long time to be in surgery... Soon, he'll be as good as new.
Hugs, Julia

So glad the surgery went well. Hope that he heals up quickly. He is so blessed to have you to take care of him while he recovers!

I'm so happy this is now over. I can't believe what he went through. My knee surgery was such a breeze. I would have been so frustrated with what he has been through. I hope he loves his new knee!!!
