New Knee For Pam

We are now at home recuperating and following the therapy directions, with a titanium and plastic left knee to replace Pam's arthritic and worn out knee.  Now in day 5, the pain is different, but very present as the swelling reduces, but everything inside the area is coming more alive as the med's she received during the surgical procedures are now depleting and all the muscles, tendons and anything else inside are very much awake.

The scheduled therapist arrived and after his review with her progress, she is ahead of the normal goals and has minor adjustments to the exercises.  Her fear of being negligent or doing something wrong has been proven false and she is well on her way to full restoration.  We were given insight as to the true picture of the normal recovery period and we have a ways to go, ... but we are on track and fully engaged with the correct procedures.

We know that God is very much present and at work in her progress and want to say to anyone considering this surgery, we do believe thus far it is worthwhile to have the replacement ... more so when we know the healing provided by God is our "edge" on full recovery, and regaining mobility and range of motion.

It is our great joy to give God all the glory for this amazing opportunity for restoration, knowing the level of pain Pam has endured for quite a while ... and now we are seeing the changes day by day.  It is God Who gives man (doctors, nurses, therapists) knowledge of how to treat and provide relief through such surgery and rehabilitation.  The many prayers of faith and agreement are ours still and we are blessed to know that God is our source through friends and family who put their trust in our Creator, and His Word .... He sent His Word and healed ... by His stripes we were healed ... thank God for His everlasting goodness and promises.

Thanks to all who have been a comfort and for praying with us and for us.  Thanks for every kind word and your support as we work through the rehabilitation, both now and in the coming weeks.  A friend loves at all times, both good and not so good (or comfortable).
