Miki is one day away from being able to drive - yahoo!! The DD is very happy, as is the patient! Off to physio just one day a week now, the other day is pool exercises at and with Mary Lois in her lovely pool (thanks, Mary Lois!!). Still doing daily exercises twice a day, but she is not using the walker or even a cane to get around. She can go for walks now, and Nurse Ratchett (ah, Dafni) encourages her to use her nordic poles for stability. Yesterday for the first time she was able to walk to the Point at the cottage, with the assistance of 9 year old grand daughter Vanessa!
Will try to add some more pics soon - I am not there much to get pics during the day, but this would be a lot more interesting if there were pics as well as words :-( We had a gathering of our up island friends last weekend, one of whom had had a full knee replacement a day after Miki's, but in Nanaimo. She is doing just as well, and is even driving already! Go Moira!!! Another friend, Chenda, is scheduled for her knee replacement on October 18, so she got lots of encouraging stories from Miki and Moira.
