On Monday we saw the Orthopaedic Trauma Surgeon in Charleston we selected for Karens Tibia repair. He arranged surgery for Wednesday, June 15.
We arrived at the MUSC in Charleston at about 5:15 in the morning. By 10:30 am I was being ushered into postop to visit with Karen. She overnighted in the hospital and brought her home on Thursday with an ample array of screws and a new plate in her Tibia. She will recuperate at home till about the 23rd and we go to KY for my mom’s 90th birthday. Oh, did I forget that two days after Karen’s incident, mom fell and broke her hip and maxilla with multiple contusions on her face? It’s been a big week. She is now recovering from hip surgery at the Willows in Lexington, KY.
