For all my GMCnet friends that have inquired lately, I went to see the orthopedic surgeon last week and he took Xrays and tells me that my broken kneecap is healing. He wants me to keep the steel brace on my leg for another 4 weeks and then do physical therapy. That will make a total of 9 weeks in the brace. I have to wear it 24 hours a day. He did unlock the knee hinge on the brace so that I can now bend the knee up to 70 degrees. That now makes it a lot easier to get into the car and I can actually hobble around the house without using the crutches. Michelle is doing the driving but we still haven't been able to take the motorhome out. We drove up to Denver over the weekend in the car as my daughter is having surgery to take out a metal bar from the side of her leg that was shattered last March when she slid on ice. We had to cut short our stay at the Montgomery, TX GMCMI convention to go to Denver last year.
We really miss seeing our friends that are at the Patterson GMCMI convention right now but we will look forward to seeing them when we go to the Goshen, IN convention next September.
