A couple people wanted me to update the List on my double knee replacement surgery. OK The surgery itself was a complete success, but then along came the complications: blood clots in both legs and a lung, transfusion, and an allergic reaction to the pain medication that made me hallucinate, have the "sweats" and made me paranoid--I actually thought the hospital personnel was keeping Willy and Kristal away from me. Then I was moved to a rehab hospital--they figured out the medication thing. I'm now home. Because of my poor start, I may not have full motion in my knees, but I AM walking with a walker and going to more rehab. I'm glad to be alive. Hight point in the hospital: Kwis brought Forest into the hospital illegally--she told them that Forest was her therapy dog! Boy was I glad to see her and vice versa. (Forest had been depressed because she didn't know where I was.) Aren't kids (Kwis) GREAT!!
