hooray for bionic Grammy!

IMG_4864 IMG_4984Grammy has a lot of pride so when she had to resort to a wheelchair and electric scooter to get around Disney World in February, it was a clear sign how much pain she was in.  She’s only 62, but has endured 3+ years of chronic pain from a bad left hip that made walking a painful daily experience.  The fact that she never complained and kept it to herself is all the more amazing. She’s way too young (62) to live this way!

Good news!  She finally got the hip replacement surgery she needed June 4. It was a big operation, replacing a worn-out hip loaded with arthritis where bones were hitting bones… for a new one made out of polished ceramic and metal alloys. 

The hand-made cards she received from her grand-kids meant the world to her – you can see them on the flower photo below.

After a month or so she’ll be able to get around pretty well. This will get her back to a healthy state of body and mind.  We’re so happy for her.
