We visited with Melba's orthopedic surgeon today and he expressed concern that she has not progressed in her physical therapy as far as he had hoped. He then suggested--and we agreed--that they perform a manipulation on her knee next Monday. Basically they will apply a general anesthesia and then bend the knee back enough and down enough to break through the scar tissue that has formed and which keeps her leg from getting full range of motion. The actual procedure takes less than 5 minutes but there will be some "coming out of the fog" time afterward.
We welcome all prayers that this procedure will prove beneficial to Melba/Mom.
