Prayer Needed ~ knee surgery

My friend Tamie's dad had surgery on his knee yesterday, replacement. Below is an update from her. Please continue to pray for the healing and rehab process.

Hey everybody the surgery went great! He had a spinal so he remembers hearing the hammer on his knee and that is about it. Oh, he remembers the cute nurse he got to hug when they did the spinal too! LOL! They already started him on a machine that moves his knee slowly. This morning he will be up with therapy actually walking on it with a walker. His feeling is back in his toes which is unfortunate for the nurses on his floor. He has very sensitive feet so we all knew when they were playing with his feet last night that he couldn't feel it yet from the spinal, otherwise somebody would've gotten a kick in the face! LOL! We are past the surgery, but now the therapy fun starts and more pain. They are concerned at this point with swelling, infection and blood clots. So, continued prayer would be wonderful as we are not out of the woods, but at least the surgery part is over. Thanks for the prayers!
Tamie
