Aunt Jen relaxing after doing her exercises, which is her favorite time of day. I spent this last week with Aunt Jen doing exercises, eating, going for walks, eating, watching HGTV, going for another walk, watching a little more HGTV and eating. Good week!!!!This is the bruising on the back of Aunt Jen's leg. She didn't have this with the other knee but the nurses assured us that it is quite common. It was much more purple to begin with. Doesn't hurt - just looks beautiful!!!
Aunt Jen's goal was to walk two blocks two weeks after surgery and she did. Walked to the end of her block and back. We tried to do it 3 times a day but didn't quite make it a day or two. But we did walk at least 2 times. Her goal this week is to go just a little further down the next block. Good luck, Aunt Jen.
Oh, I don't think I mentioned that we went to Physical Therapy on Thursday and it was a blast - be sure to ask Aunt Jen about it. We go again on Monday and I know it will be the highlight of her day. We also go to Dr. Rodman on Monday and we're anxious to see what he has to say about her progress. The staples will come out and she's hoping to get the OK to drive. Just stay off the roads for a day or two.
