My father went through it...it is very painful. She will need lots of rest!!! She will recover though, give it time. :smile: Oh yeah did she get one of the machines from the hospital that pumps ice cold water around her knee?

HOPE SHE RECOVERS QUICKLY IT IS PAINFUL A LADY ON THIS SITE HAD HERS DONE 2 WEEKS AGO AND POSTED PICTURES NOT A PRETTY SIGHT. JUST RELAX AND LIFT HER SPIRITUALLY AS IT TAKES QUITE A WHILE TO HEAL AS PEOPLE HAVING THAT DONE ARE OLDER FOLKS. WISH YOU PATIENCE AND SPEEDY RECOVERY TO HER.flowerforyou flowerforyou flowerforyou flowerforyou flowerforyou flowerforyou flowerforyou flowerforyou

My grandmother had one knee done and had it redone around the time Hurricane Rita came though. A week after surgery we were cramped in a minivan trying to get out of dodge. Just be patient, let her know you're there for her.

I found my mother's old gameboy and tetris (her favorite game) to play.
