Update on Wendy, Fall 1 Meandering Hikes

Wendy's Status

Here's the lastest from Bill (as of Saturday, 8/28) on Wendy:

Continued progress for Wendy: much less pain and movement sensitivity for the knee and leg, the new smaller lighter brace is a huge improvement in comfort, mobility, she is off the pain meds, energy better, more independence using the walker, etc.  Surgeon says about 6 weeks from surgery (8/19) to 50 % weight bearing and walking with a cane; physical therapy will be after the 6 weeks.  Meanwhile she can do walker "excursions", gentle knee small flexion out of the brace, and at about 3 weeks some range of movement exercises.  

 

Thanks so much for all your well wishes, all your emails and phone calls, offers of help, bringing us needed items, gifts, bringing food, meals, etc.   

 

Warm wishes from us both,

 

Bill

 

Fall Meandering Hikes

 

Wendy tells Dick Jordan that she thinks that the Fall 1 Meandering hikes will run as scheduled, but will make some calls this week to confirm that is the case.  Dick will post any additional information on the blog as it becomes available.
