This Monday Dad had a total knee replacement. Wednesday was the hardest day since it was the day he came home from the hospital. He and mom were understandably exhausted by the time we got them home. Dad began outpatient therapy on Thursday and he is up and walking with a walker and already able to bend the knee beyond 90 degrees.
David's knee surgery was postponed due to a death in the doctor's family. He will be having his surgery on July 15th instead. In the mean time his job search continues and he is working on getting the town house remodeled. The kitchen cabinets are in and he is in the process of doing some painting. The next step will be the counter tops and some new tile. Slowly but surely it is all coming together.
We spent the day at home for the most part. David's parents came over (My Mom and Dad were not quite feeling up to an excursion just yet) and we threw some hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill. We enjoyed the food and then watched a movie before moving to the driveway for a prime view of the fireworks. Our new house is just across a cotton field from where the fireworks are set off. It was the best seat we have had for a show in a few years. We could hear the whistle of the fireworks being launched.
