Knee Fixin'

Last Wednesday my sweet Hubby was able to get his knee Surgery!! This surgery has been a wait and a half and it was definitely needed. In January of 2011 Wyatt went to play indoor soccer which was one of his greatest hobbies. He grew up on soccer and absolutely loves it, but on January 14, 2011 he was kicked right in the knee during a game which caused a tear of the ACL and meniscus. I've never seen him in such pain and at that moment I could tell by his face he knew it was a bad injury. Wyatt has not been able to play soccer since, and has had problems with it off and on since the injury. Unfortunately, Wyatt was unable to get surgery until last Wednesday. Due to insurance it took us awhile to finally make it happen, but it finally did and now he is on the road to repair! SO GRATEFUL for INSURANCE and so grateful for Dr. Hanson, which has the reputation of being the best knee doctor in the valley! Wyatt starts Physical Therapy tomorrow and has been recovering quite well. He had the opportunity to have a CPM machine at home to help with circulation and rehab! Here he is only hours after his surgery back at home ready to recover!!


Right Before ready to get Reconstructive Surgery!





It has actually been pretty nice taking care of my husband as much as possible. I am so happy that my Mother-in-law has been able to come take care of him while I am at work and spend time with him so he isn't lonely! Since Wyatt will be out of work for a few weeks, it will be nice to spend some extra time together before the baby comes ;o) Maybe that is the selfish side of me, but it has been really nice just having extra "us" time.
