My dad had ankle replacement surgery today. I have been at the hospital with my mom all day. It's the first total ankle replacement ever performed in our area, so we were a little nervous about the outcome. He's had a lot of people praying for him so we were sure everything would turn out okay. He was in surgery for four and a half hours (longer than expected) but came through everything just fine. He's back in his room now and is in a lot of pain. I hope it's going to be worth it!
I hope he has a smooth recovery and this surgery is successful. He's had a lot of trouble with his ankles for years now. He has arthritis in both of them. He played baseball in college and has always been very active. So, it's been tough to watch him have so much difficulty getting around. If this one works, he's going to have the other one replaced next year.
