Betsy has knee Surgery

On Monday, November 27, 2017 Betsy had to have surgery on her left knee for a meniscus tear.  Unfortunately, Betsy's doctor was very late to her surgery - 4 hours!!!!  Then she did the operation in 8 minutes - what???  We found out that there was a lot of arthritis and patella condomalaisia. They shaved the arthritis from behind the knee cap.  Little did we know at that time it was going to take so long to heal.

Then, Mark left for Ireland the very next day!!!  Betsy had to sleep on the couch for a week; Jasper was her little buddy.  Betsy was on crutches so it was super hard to manage the stairs, etc.  


It was a long week.  There were good days and bad moments.  After 10 days Betsy went back for a follow up appointment.  They were able to remove the strips - they assigned me to PT.  They also approved my trip to ski in Utah.
