Knee Surgery

Our dad had a ACL replaced. It was quite the surgery. More than maybe we had anticipated. He is doing better now, but it is always nice when dad slows down so we can all enjoy him. Spencer was loving all the games they got to play and the snuggling time with dad too. William also enjoyed those same things. He started therapy so he is on his way to recovery. They sent us home from the hospital the coolest (no pun intended) Polar care ice pack thing. All you have to do is fill it up with ice and water every 8 hours and it pumps cold water to the ice pack on the knee. Very COOL! I am thinking I need this will all my back/hip problems. We do get to keep it forever, so if you ever have orthopedic surgery you should borrow it! It is the green, white and blue thing.
David had Ted hose on so he didn't get blood clots. He looked hot with them on!
