Posted Dec. 17/05 and now moved to my new blog … Much has happened since my last post … my moonbeam travels (a term I use because of my Moonbeam Series for kids) have taken me to many interesting places … one of which was the hospital. I may have mentioned that both my husband and I were waiting for knee replacements. Well, on November 18th I received my first Oxford prosthetic Knee – the name given to a fairly new innovation here in Canada … a partial knee. I was amazed with how quickly I was out of the hospital (less than 48 hours) and walking on it, too. It soon became obvious that it would be the ‘bad’ knee that I was going to have to baby, the one that will be done later.

Being bow-legged in one leg is only slightly better than being bow-legged in both and it certainly is a strange phenomenon almost having to teach myself to walk again. Now, 4 weeks after surgery I am riding my stationary bike, having physio 2x a week, driving (after 3 wks) and generally doing more than I should be doing! But enough of that, I may write a book about it!

Robert also has a date for his surgery (January) which will be much more intrusive than mine being a normal, full replacement. However, he is a tough one and used to injuries and surgeries since he was a kid which you would know if you have read his bio.  So that will be my next moonbeam adventure, dealing with him so he can return to the market in April, and the rest of our commitments as I am still recuperating myself. Life is never boring!
