Air Kathy

Kathy is having foot surgery on Saturday. They gave us little notice. Kathy has the classic dropping foot that people acquire during their extended bed stay. She was unable to work the problem out in physical therapy sessions.

The best solution is to do the surgery ASAP after identification. She gets the surgery tomorrow! At 2:00 PM Kathy will have her Achilles tendons cut and her feet placed in plaster boots for the next 4 weeks. The bad news is, she will be in the boot for at least 8 weeks!

The good news is that Kathy will come out running. She will have the best outcome possible having this surgery. Women who wear HIGH HEALS TOO MUCH also need this surgery.

I will post you tomorrow on her progress. She again will have surgery at Sharp Hospital. It will be at 2:00 PM and Kathy will be moved to ICU around 4:00 PM. She will probably stay on the 9th floor until Sunday. On Sunday she will be moved back to her room. I will keep you all posted! I hear it is a very painful post surgery!! PRAY!
