Rose has a new knee. Dr. Parsons went in to look at her partial and he said the bone was too soft to repair it, so he did a total knee replacement. Rose went into surgery at 3:00 p.m. and arrived back in her room at 7:30 p.m. She was wide awake and very thirsty. They did a spinal but the doctor said she slept through the surgery. They will get her up this morning! Amazing! She's in a lot of pain, but she's glad to have it over with. Now for therapy and recovery. She's looking forward to walking again.
She had the partial in 2004 and then the repair work done in 2005. She's going to be careful not to fall on that knee this time.
The doctor said this knee should last for 25 plus years. Its made of titanium..
Watch out world...Rose Goes.....
