Right Knee

The surgery on the right knee went okay. It was a big mess! The Doctor was able to get the tibia back in place and secured with screws and a plate. The cartilage in the knee was pretty bad, and Dan will probably have lots of pain in the knee, with a possible knee replacement years down the road. He will really have to take it easy and said running is definitely out for him. I guess that leaves me to run the 5K's. He gave me some x-rays to point things out, and said they can put all the x-rays on a disk for Dan to show.

The right ankle is still very swollen, so we will be in next Tuesday for right ankle surgery. He said, "It just wobbles" which means the tendon on the inside of the ankle is more than likely torn as well. So plates and screws are definitely in store.

The anesthesiologist said today, "only bad things happen fast, good things take time." I guess Dan's recovery will take some time, so please keep praying for him. He has a very long road ahead of him.

    Dan, I'm sorry to hear about your ankle today. I can't believe that you messed up the ankle too!

    I got the new moter for the JD today. It's all installed,(everything bolted up perfectly) all I need to do now is put oil in it, and hook up the drive belt. (I'll let you know how it goes) I wish you were here to hear it start up! (maybe I'll call ya when I am ready to crank it over)

    We are praying for ya. Keep strong, you still have a long recoveery ahead of you.

    Love, Brandon Nicole and Nolan

    Hi Dan,

    Sorry to hear about the ankle, but at least it sounds like they'll be able to put you back together in one piece. I've gotta admit, as Sue said, you picked one heck of a way to get out of jury duty.

    Lori and I have both commented on the new level of job security that we now enjoy but I think we'd trade that for having you back at work in a heartbeat, the label proofing and prebills are really starting to stack up.

    In all seriousness everyone here at work is hoping you will have a full and speedy recovery.

    Take care and God Bless,

    John
