Pauline is Home from the Hospital

Pauline’s knee replacement surgery went very well.  The picture above shows how much of her knee had to be cut.  The surgeon found that the problem was bone rubbinb against bone.  No wonder she was in so much pain.

The picture below shows a ball of medication that has a line going from her leg into her knee.  The rectangular object pumps the medication  in

to her knee to numb.   It has certainly reduced the pain she would probably feel without it.

Lucy, Pauline’s sister from Palm Desert, is visiting for a few days to help Pauline with whatever she needs.  This includes trips to the bathroom, a sponge bth and, of course, bringing her the other pain medications
