Tuesday, Mar. 2

Hi everyone,

It is Tuesday morning and I did survive surgery yesterday - went in at 12:30 and out around 4:30-5 - back to room at 7:15 - fairly painful first half of night - but when pain meds kicked in, I slept better. Have had many many people in my room this morning including PT who have me sitting up in a chair and now typing this entry. Spoke with dr. briefly this morning who is really thankful he went in yesterday - said the drainage I was having was only the tip of the iceberg and had a lot of work to do once he got in there. He was able to get spacer in with antibiotic beads - which should help get rid of infection and help with the difference in lengths of two legs.
I will update later in the day today when I have more info.

Here it is later in the day and I don't have much new except that the infectious disease specialist was in and pretty much repeated what I already know. The dr is to stop in this evening, but hasn't yet and three brothers are sitting here with me to hear what he has to say. If he shows, we report tomorrow because I am tired tonight!

Happy Birthday Corwyn and Ashli!!!!
Thanks for prayers and thoughts!
