Ahhh! just as long as she's not a hazard to shipping!

Update:
Second surgery today. 127 minutes this time, rather than over 3 hours the last time.

And it seems practice makes perfect. The anesthesiologist did a much better job of dosing her this time. She was hardly sick, alert, and good coloring right after the surgery.

Back to blackcat the homecare specialist. But I think we'll both do better the second time around. I forgot to ask if this was the half-joint replacement or full-joint replacement ... I suppose it doesn't matter as long as it was the right choice. =^..^=

I think my Sweetie has discovered that she has unexpected resources, and more strength of character that she expected. I'm very proud. =^..^=

Mrs. blackcat is home. She's moving around better than before but the pain is worse. Her confidence level is better. =^..^=

That's really good news, the confidence is because she's more mobile, the pain will quickly subside. She's lucky to have such a caring, supportive husband around her, keep up the good work

With the assistance of the PT and two nurses, Mrs. blackcat made her first trip all the way up the stairs to the 2nd floor since surgery. By herself, she's limiting her stair practice to 5 up, 5 down. She's ditched the walker yesterday, and is using the cane only.

We both got a nice surprise this evening. Mrs. blackcat cooked dinner. Me for two reasons: 1) I didn't have to cook, and 2) she's a much better cook than I am. I believe she's on track for a 01 Jan return to work. =^..^=

I am assuming that this means you returning to work as it seems she already has, i.e. cooking.

Woo-hoo you two, good job - hope the rest of the recovery goes well. As an aside, David, be careful of the weight gain from a better chef than yourself .
