Thanks all for the prayers. They are greatly appreciated. My surgery went well and surgeon says I'll be able to put off complete replacement for possibly 5 to 10 years. YIPEE!!!
I didn't have any trouble with the surgery itself, but had a delayed allergic reaction to the antibiotic that evening. I ended up in the ER because of Clindemon. I had taken it a few times before with no side effects but this time I got into a real jam.
Hives, swollen glands, and throat closing up. But I believe because I was being lifted up in prayer by my friends and loved ones I am still among the living.
I'm supposed to use the crutches till 2/17 but I have virtually no pain and feel like such a fake when I do. I feel as if I could walk a couple miles with no trouble already. But since I promised my hubby to do what the doctor says I'm using the

_____crutches:P .
Thanks again for the prayers.
