Its a Total Knee Replacement

December 3rd we headed to Cheyenne.... and on December 4th we went down to Fort Collins for Dale to have his total knee replacement (right knee).

After a very successful surgery.... and a couple set backs and a little extra stay at the hospital... we got to the Cheyenne house on Monday night (Dec 8th).

20 staples - and was pretty swollen (is actually looking better now - have to love those ice machines)!!!




The bruising is normal.... but wow....
And with good meds --- he is doing very well - getting around, doing his exercises and stretches.


Dale has a follow-up appointment on the 15th... and hope to head home to Cody on the Tuesday. That's when the real fun with therapy will begin.
