[Nfbmo] My Recovery from Knee Surgery

[Mary Donahue]

Good afternoon everyone,

    This is just a brief note to let you all know that everything is 
progressing wonderfully in my recovery. The supervisor of the home health 
care program was here to get some information from me and to change my 
dressings. I have been moving around a little bit, too, and have checked in 
with my supervisor at work. This afternoon, I have to make some corrections 
on some leave requests. I have also made a couple of steps without my walker 
when I wanted to re-charge my Pac Mate. It's actually starting to itch where 
my bandages are, so that's a good sign. I'm no longer using the ice bag, 
and, Lord willing, I will be able to walk across the apartment complex later 
this weekend. It still hurts when I bend my leg, but I was assigned to do 
straight leg-raising exercises, and am doing those every chance I can. Right 
now, I am sitting with my right leg stretched out in front of me.

    In the meantime, I will keep you posted as things go on. Home health 
nurses are going to come in on Saturday of this week, and again on Mondays, 
Wednesdays, and Fridays for the next two weeks while I'm working from home.

    Once again, thank you in advance for your kind thoughts and prayers.

Mary Donahue
