Bishop1 Finally Did It !

Well, He finally did it!
Yesterday, (Wed.19th) he went in for total knee replacement surgery on both knees. He was in surgery from 11:00 am til 4:00 pm. They were concerned because of heart damage from a previous heart attack,but Praise the Lord he came through it well. They got him up today to take a few steps. However,he is still in ICU where they can watch him closely. He should be in the hospital for a week and then moved to a rehab center for another two weeks.
Please keep Bishop1 in your prayers.

Oh, and by the way, he wanted me to be sure and tell all of you that he said, When he came out from under anesthesia in the recovery room he was yelling to all the doctors and nurses..."It's Holiness or Hell"!!

Oh and to be sure and let you know...all of his nurses were male...
and they ALL HAD ON LONG SLEEVES!!

1st Lady,

I am glad to hear Bishop1 is doing well after surgery. Be sure and let him know that ole liberal CC1 says hello and I am praying for him.

Liberals and Conservatives and those in between are praying for him.

Sure wish he were in a local hospital here. I deal with knee replacement patients all the time!!! Just has one this past week at the hospital, but the two nursing homes I work at also get them for rehab.

Boy, I sure could have had fun!

I'm glad he made it through ok though. Time will be his biggest pill to swallow.

And make him take pain meds. Stubborn men like him are just so.......stubborn!

Bishop1
was transferred to a rehabilitation center on Wednesday. The Lord blessed us and he was able to get into what's considered the best in the area. Everyday he has 2 hours of therapy in the morning and they take him down to the gym for two hours after lunch. The doctors have explained to him that this is going to be slow, but they are very pleased with his progress.
He just has to be patient, which can be difficult for someone that's always been on the go. In fact, he had put this off as long as possible, so long that he had absolutely no cartilage in either knee and the pain had gotten unbearable. After this recovery time...he'll feel like a new man!

Thank you all for your kind words and most of all your prayers.

He asks me eveyday if I've been on AFF so he can keep up with all of you.
Keep praying that things continue to go well for him.

We love you all.
