Well, Alex is doing fine after surgery on her left knee. There were two tears that were stitched and the doctor also cleaned out stuff from lupus. They had given her crutches to use but she is using a walker we had here at home. Today, she is walking on her own. The doctor also sent her home with a cooler type thing called a Cryo/Cuff. You put water and lots of ice inside of it and then attach the hose to your knee cuff. It is motorized so you then plug it in and it circulates ice water around your knee while also giving your knee circulation. It goes off and on every couple of minutes. Kind of neat. Photo of it is above. She uses it both day and night. The doctor said she can take off the bandage after three days but, she has to call him tomorrow as he didn't specify when she can take a shower....or when she can drive. So, she is coming along fine and each day getting better.
Tonight are the Oscar ceremonies so will be watching to see all the hoopla that goes with the awards.
