Today Kristy had her surgery, it took about 30 minutes. Bilateral release on both of her knees. I would have never imagined that she would walk to the car after recovery. It was a high of 24 degrees here today so just hitting the cold air after after being under a warm blanket in the recovery room would have made me want to go running back inside. We stopped to get ice on the way home and she wanted Ice Cream. She is hooked to a machine called an ICEMAN. It is a lunch box type (igloo cooler) that has ice and water and is then pumped to her knees. Maybe the picture will explain it better. They gray thing around her knees have this ice water going though them. She was so excited to have this done so she can run again.
So Grandma will have her first all night duty tonight, yawn. Lets see how I manage this! Cant be too bad can it? Ask me tomorrow, if no pictures are posted you'll know why.
