Knee Surgery

Josh has had terrible knees for most of the last 20 years. They have progressively gotten worse and a few years ago he started seeing different doctors. Turns out his knees formed incorrectly and are more on the inside of his legs rather than the front. So over the years with how active he has been his knees have just grinded and grinded down to where there is little cartilage left. As if that wasn't painful enough, he continued to play basketball on them and tore the meniscus in both knees. He is still young for knee replacements, so his dr. wanted to go in and clean up the tears and smooth out the cartilage that is left. The surgery was in Park City so we drove up early in the morning. Of course Josh was doing his orders up until they wheeled him back. It was a quick surgery and after the anesthesia wore off I was able to drive him home. He should be in bed for 3 days with only getting up to use the restroom. Unfortunately his aunt passed and her viewing was the day after the surgery, with the funeral the day after that. So it was pretty rough, but we were able to borrow a wheelchair and he was able to make it through those 2 days. His knees were really swollen afterwards and it got pretty painful, but after the funeral he was able to take it easy and rest for the rest of the week. Until, of course, Brayden happened to be speaking in church on Sunday. So he struggled but made it to watch Brayden then I rushed him back home to bed. So much for resting!
