> Hello everyone,
>
>    This is Peter. As she told you today Mary had surgery on her right knee 
> to repair a torn meniscus. The tear was located on the right side of her 
> knee. The doctor also removed some inflamed tissue the result of 
> arthritis. Once the knee heals she should feel a whole lot better and will 
> be able to walk more comfortably.
>
>    She is wasting no time getting back to a normal life. She's getting 
> round with a walker but expects to wean herself off of it over the next 
> few days. Since she will be unable to climb stairs for the next few days 
> tonight we're campped out in our living room. It's a blustery cold South 
> Texas night. The upstairs of our townhome stays warmer than the 
> downstairs. We're sleeping in our clothing and are hunkered down in lots 
> of blankets and comforters off of our beds to keep warm. I told her I 
> would stay down here should she need anything during the night.
>
>    Thanks for keeping us in your prayers and thoughts. We're hoping for a 
> speedy recovery. From what I've seen since we got home from the surgical 
> center Mary could be back on her feet in no time. A health nurse will be 
> here over the next few days to check her incision and change her bandages 
> and help her with other surgery-related matters.
>    Just thought I would update you all on her surgery and let you know 
> that we appreciate the prayers and kind thoughts. I'll let Mary say more 
> tomorrow when she'll feel more up to writing. Take care and stay warm.
