After many years of anguish and hand-wringing pain, the day came last Thursday; MoMo got her new carbon, Kryptonite, and stainless knee. Not just a few parts, but the entire show, socket and all. The surgeon sawed the leg bone in two places, glued in the replacement part stapled up the meat and muscle, and there ya go, she’ll be up and running in a few weeks. She is a miserable mess and whacked out on pain meds, but improving.
The old knee and tendon bones will be placed in a beautiful crystal jar and shipped to us before Christmas. A bottom-lit display with color-changing LED lights will make it the focal point of our Holiday decor and will delight our party guests for what few years we have left. Her surgeon said it’s the newest thing in replacement surgery, “it’s sick”, or so he says. I have the perfect place on our kitchen prep counter. Imagine when the grandchildren get to watch their grandmother’s old knee light up in 20 rotating colors. Wow. I haven’t told MoMo about this little gift, but will get around to it soon.

I know, it’s some serious stuff. We will see how she bounds over tall buildings in a single jump and all that at a later date.

Yikes! My husband has been looking into stem cell therapy to repair his knee. The treatment is up and coming, but I’m not aware of qualifying factors. I hope Momo mends quickly and pokes you with her cane if you terrify her with her own harvested body parts. 🙂

She used Dr. Pepper in in Granbury. She had surgery times in Ft. Worth, either 10-2 or 4. She chose 10.

The jar would be a great conversation piece!
