Hi everyone, well I finally went under the knife tuesday May 13,(Cindys birthday ) and had a total knee on the left side. Ive needed it for years, all went very well. I will tell you one thing IT HURTS BAD, but Iam doing very well. Doctor Baldauf is great, he tolded Cindy I would love him in about 2 months, now its just work hard to get it and me all better. I have very good range of movement, and I can walk without the walker, for about 1oo feet or so. Not to bad for 10 days away from when I was cut open and had the bones cut, and a metal and plastic knee put in. Things are going well here, everyone is healthy and doing great , Ike hit a triple, and a double last nite at his game. We love you all, PaPa Larry and Grandma Cindy
