If you don't know my mom, she's been hobbling around for the last few years on a bad knee. Olmsted Medical was putting off her surgery until she felt pain 24 hours a day! Finally this winter, she was referred to Mayo, and they told her to get in right away for that new knee! She put it off as long as she could. She was having a hard time realizing she would be done teaching for the school year.
Yesterday was her last day of teaching until next fall. Charlie, Tony and I went to visit her on her last day. Her students were so sweet: wishing her well and giving hugs.
Last night she was told to report to Methodist Hospital at 5:30 am to prep for surgery. They wheeled her into the operating room at 7:30! Charlie, Tony and I are heading up soon to spend time with Dad while he waits patiently.
We pray that everything goes well in surgery, and Mom has a quick recovery!
Here she is all ready to go!
thoughts and prayers to the Fredricksen Family today! Prayers for wisdom for the surgical team, effective pain medications, and patience for All during the recovery process.
