Jonathans Surgery

Oh...where do I begin. It has been the longest month, probably in my whole life. Jonathan had his left knee scoped on the 4th of Sept. It had been bothering him every time he would work out, play basketball, or stand for long periods of time (which is all the time since he is a teacher and coach). So he chose to get is scoped. They cleaned up behind his knee cap and also realigned the knee cap. The doctor said his knee was so worn out it looked like an OLD persons knee. It all began when the hospital told us we HAD to be at the hospital at 12:45 to prep for his surgery and the surgery was suppose to start at 2:00. They didn't start on him until 6:00pm. We waited in prep for 5 hours. AAAHHHH. He was out of surgery in less than an hour. Things seemed good till we got home around 9:00. He was in so much pain (Like he had just been tortured) that we went to the emergency room. They gave him a shot of morphine which helped to calm it a little bit. The next 2 days were going OK. He did his exercises as told by the P.T. Around 2:00 in the morning on the 7th we were in the E.R. again. His pain was even worse than the 1st time. They gave a couple of shots of Morphine which only worked for about 10 minutes each. Finally they put a line in his hand to give him the Morphine straight into his vein. They did that until about 8:00 in the morning when the pain finally slowed down. He had developed a Hemotoma (spelling?) After many doctor visits of trying to drain his knee, they finally were able to drain quite a bit of blood out of it today. He is beginning to show a lot of improvement these past couple of days, but still not all better. Thank you all for your help and prayers. I am so greatful for all of the wonderful family and friends that I have in my life. You are all truly the BEST. THANK YOU.
