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

[Jayandem2 at aol.com]

Dear Jan,
 
Please convey our thoughts and prayers for a complete recovery. It has been 
 many years since we last saw Joan, when she and her family lived in the  
Cleveland Religious House.
Our "care candle" is lit on her behalf.
 
Sincerely,
 
Judith, Mike and Meg Tippett

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
