Counting Down

The six weeks were up on Wednesday the 16th so Suzanne met with her surgeon and rehab specialist at the WHC and NRH. The consensus was that she should be ready to proceed with her next set of operations in a couple of weeks. For a change of scenery, while awaiting the next phase, Bob & Nella, Sue, Gabby & Pat piled into their cars and drove two days to Wisconsin. Sue has been relaxing at her parents’ house, with Gabby, for the last week and will return home next weekend. The next operations will be preparing the legs for a proper fit, and will be a series of small outpatient procedures, or have a single overnight stay. The expected time-line is three to four months before she is able to be measured for the new legs. In the meantime she is continuing with her resistance training and weight bearing exercises.

  1. Glad to hear you all got away for some rest. Also, happy to hear that Sue is progressively improving at what seems like such a fast pace. What a woman!
