Another patient...

While in PTSD therapy Grandpa Harold fell and hurt his left knee.  They said it was fine...  it wasn't.... gave him a cortisone shot...  didn't help...  ordered a MRI...  = torn meniscus.  UGH!

Day surgery at Riverside Medical Center Waupaca, WI was 3/11/2014 with Dr Mitchell.  It all went well except the waking up part.  They told me he was a "light weight" when I was called back after recovery room.  I had to laugh because they don't know he ALWAYS has a hard time staying awake.

He did well.  It took a big swallow to get all that pride down and accept he needed to use a walker.  Once he was used to it he decided (although he will never admit it) it was pretty handy.  We help him hop up the steps and then he comes down on his butt... for now.  This too shall pass!
