Jo got a lot of rest today, but there was also time for a Sunday morning drive with a stop by Starbucks. You'll have to go back and read the blog entries from the first hip surgery to really understand how dramatically different this one has been. For all of you out there that have been procrastinating having joint replacements, don't read any of that stuff from November. I probably embellished the entire first experience anyway. This 2nd hip is how your experience will probably be. Trust me.
I did get a call from a home health care nurse today that wanted to speak to me and find out how my mom was doing with her hip replacement. Jo and I got a good laugh out of that one. I told the lady that we don't need her to come by. Jo will be going in to see Dr. Alvarez tomorrow and they will take care of checking everything that needs to be checked.
Anna is 4 1/2 months older than she was in November and she is stronger and faster than she was back then. She is having to learn how to be gentle with mommy. She likes to hold on to the side of Jo's walker and pull to try to get mommy to walk faster. She regularly points to Mommy's "boo boo" which is covered with a huge bandaid that covers Jo's entire hip and half of her backside. By the way, at the hospital they call it a "Texas Bandaid". How appropriate.

What an absolutely Beautiful picture of Jo and Anna on a warm Spring morning! It is wonderful seeing Jo looking so healthy. I won't be at all suprised if she drops in on us this coming week-end at the Springs. Hugs, Thoughts & Prayers to the entire family. JAM
