So Kenyon is back from his little stay at the hospital. I am back at doing this mom thing alone. Whenever my mom leaves I have a day or so of panic where I can't seem to remember how to do all this alone. I am sure it will come back to me but last night was a disaster. And I didn't even have to make dinner. Not pretty.
Anyway back to Kenyon.
Do you want to see a picture? Careful. It is kind of scary.
30ish staples. 18 centimeters. It makes my stomach turn. Scary. But so amazing too. Because he is walking (with a walker and really slow) and bending and straightening better than before. Painful but he can do it.
For a little Sunday fun, the kids and I found this website and performed our own virtual total knee replacement.
Check it out here.
We are very grateful for modern medicine, great physical therapists, Kenyon's job which he is back doing thanks to technology - he doesn't have to leave his bed, visitors, yummy food, help with the kids, and especially my Mom (and my Dad for letting her come).
There are still several weeks ahead of recovery but we are on our way.

OH BOY!!!! That is a looooong cut. I'm so happy for him though...finally he can be on the upswing--though painful and still a process. Let me know if I can swing by after work sometime and help you out.
