The dogs were looking at us, like what the heck are you doing feeding us breakfast at 4 o'clock in the morning. They knew something was going on! We got to the Hospital at 5am and Vel's surgery started right on time at 7:30. An hour and a half later Dr. Reckmeyer came out and said everything went well. He took out 4 screws and a small plate, that he had put in several years ago, so he could get the new knee in the right place. Vel had a spinal block instead of general anesthesia, so she was happy about that. She was able to listen to her Ipod during surgery. Back to the room, she was put on a morphine pump, because the spinal was wearing off and it was starting to hurt some. So......so far so good!
Hopefulling when I go back, she will be pain free and running the halls! Ha Ha!! -M
