My mother had knee replacement surgery yesterday. The surgery itself went well - the doctor came out afterwards and said that her leg was no longer crooked, it was straight, and that there were no surprises in surgery. But the recovery has started out extremely rough. She's in a lot of pain, which is to be expected, but the pain medication isn't having as much effect as we would think.
She'll be going to rehabilitation facility in a couple of days to learn how to walk with her new knee. I imagine that it will be a tough ordeal, but something she must go through.
Please pray for a good recovery, for rehab to go well, and for her to be
mentally strong throughout this experience.
