Some of you know about what I've been dealing with since late 2004. Last Friday (3-28-08) I went back to Stanford to remove my left knee, straighten and fuse it (Arthrodesis)...just like the right one. Surgery went well and I got home Monday. I'm not able to walk with the left leg yet, but my right leg is 100% usable now. I've been walking with a walker these last few days, only 10-30 feet, but it's a start. Next Thursday I get the staples removed and they re-cast the leg to completely heal. After that I'm sure there will be some therapy and trying to re-learn how to walk again, but his time without bending my knees. It's been a long journey for sure and I know it will continue. I just want to thank everybody for the cards, phone calls, e-mails and prayers these last few years. I big "thanks" to my wife...just for putting up with my these last few years! One more thing...I turn 43 tomorrow and I don't have to be in the hospital this time! Thanks for listening... --------------------------- Central California Nature Photography Canon 5D • 17-40 ƒ/4L • 300 ƒ/4L IS • 70-200 ƒ/4L • 50 ƒ/1.8 • 1.4x TC • Kenko Ext. Tubes • Vivitar 2600-D |
