Triumphal Knee News

We saw the surgeon today.
Tomorrow, the "bionic knee" will be 5 weeks old.
Master's recovery and progress is simply remarkable.
He is walking on His own two feet without assistance of any kind -- carrying a cane with Him in case He should need it, but generally, not using it.
He has bent knee flexion of 122 degrees (with a prosthesis which we were told would probably only go to 120 degrees mind you) and can now straighten his leg to within 2 degrees of perfectly straight.
He has not taken any pain medication except some occasional Ibuprofen for about 2 weeks.
He and I walked about a half mile over the weekend.
He is riding the exercise bike each day and is over 10 minutes now -- increasing His time daily.
He is learning to balance on His right leg, bearing all of His weight on the new knee.
He now says His arthritic left knee hurts more than His new right knee...
He has some stiffness and swelling, but not much pain.
His physical endurance improves each day.

To each of you who sent Him and us, postive thoughts and healing energy, you cannot know what that meant to us all. Thank you, thank you, thank you. He has come so far, so quickly and you, all of you, were a very real part of supporting Him and our family through that...
