Mrs D's knee - another update

Well, nearly a week since Mrs D had her arthroscopy, and things would seem to be looking up. After a couple of days of her knee being really sore, following the operation, Mrs D awoke on Thursday morning being able to walk better than she has for nearly 3 months. The knee has continued to improve - she can fully weight bear now, and can walk upstairs normally (though coming down is still painful). We went for a walk with doglet yesterday - something we haven't done together for a very long time now...

Mrs D has been poking and prodding her knee, and it would appear that the very tender and painful bit on the outside of her knee is no longer very tender and painful.

Yes, she has pain from the two holes in her knee, but it seems the previous pain is gone. Quite amazing, given that the doctor simply washed it out...

We don't want to get our hopes up, but definitely a large step (boom boom) in the right direction!

That sounds really positive and encouraging. Really hope and pray that it continues to heal; completely.

Love P, S and A

Hurrah! Great news, Donald. Give Caroline a hug from me, bark at Tigger, and I'll see you both at the Celidh? =D
