[Oe List ...] Joan Knutson's surgery

[laurelcg at aol.com]

Phoenix


Dear Colleagues,

As many of you know, Joan had her left knee replaced yesterday. When I arrived here Monday afternoon, she was in a great deal of pain, having been off her usual anti-inflammatory drugs for a week in preparation for the surgery. Without the drugs, she's quite debilitated with arthritis.

Surgery went well. She was euphoric yesterday, actually feeling better than the day before. When I talked to her this morning, reality had set in. She'll be working with a physical therapist today, getting the new knee moving gently.

She is in Phoenix Baptist Hospital, room 571, until Thursday or Friday. Then she'll go to a rehab facility for some time. When she comes home her daughter Kristin will come to stay awhile. The hospital phone number is 602/249-0212.

I had been planning for some time to come here this weekend for a Matrix Energetics seminar. So when Joan's surgery was scheduled, I arranged to come early to take her to the hospital. One of her beading friends, Diane, came to the hospital to wait with me. Very sweet.

Edith Byers and I visited in the evening yesterday. Marilyn Oyler and I are going today. Joan has a  special beading bag packed in the car for when she feels like beading. She thought yesterday she would want it today, but that's not going to happen yet

Please send fervent prayers on behalf of all her joints. They'll avail much, as you know.

Love and blessings,
Jann McGuire
