KEVIN IS MOVING ALONG
Kev is doing great with the new knees. He "graduated" from going to physical therapy two weeks ago, and was very happy to tell the nazi therapists goodbye. In order to graduate he had to be able to completely staighten the legs and be able to bend them 110 degrees. He had the bend part quite a while ago but had trouble getting those muscles to stretch enough for full extension. Of course, he still has to work the knees a couple of times a day at home. He went back to work a couple of weeks ago also, working 1/2 days. Then this last week he worked full days. He came home pretty tired and achy, but we had expected that. He's still taking pain meds regularly (in smaller doses). He thinks they are making his thinking a bit slower. I won't comment on that one. After he finishes working this week, he'll be starting a new job. I'm not going to go into that one - I'll leave that to him, but I thought maybe an update on the knees should be posted for all who are wondering. Thanks for all your prayers. Kevin has said several times that this was a hard thing to go through. His phrase is "this one really knocked me on my bum". We're both so glad to have it in the past and to be moving toward total health.
