Last Monday, my mom had both of her knees replaced. She is only 52 years old. She had severe arthritis and her legs were bow-legged as well.
Last Thursday she got transferred to an in-patient rehabilitation center. And guess what??? Tomorrow, (Wednesday) she is coming home!!! My brother and I will be picking her up at the center at 11:00 :)
Tonight I baked Snicker-doodles and wrote a nice card to thank the staff.
We are so very grateful that she was able to be well enough to come home before the holidays. Out-patient therapy until a full recovery now!!
Thanks for reading!

That sounds like great news, and I can imagine how grateful you must be to have her back in time for the holidays. Kudos =] I can already unfortunately relate to that pain of the knees too. I was in sports in middle school and already they were giving me problems,and I'm bow-legged too. But, right now at 19yrs they're not botherin me too much these days because I'm no longer in sports, only hacky sack =] Happy Holidays!
