Can't begin to tell you how proud I am of her. This lady is so full of courage and strength that leaves me with no more than admiration for her. When I get to be her age, I want to be like her.
I bet that the pain she feels is really really bad sometimes, well, you can only imagine getting your knee bone taken out of your body and have a new titanium one replace your original knee. OUCH! And you know, because the implant is made of titanium, her leg gets REALLY hot and she feels like her leg is burning really bad. So there you have me rubbing all her leg and foot with this homemade icepack (basically put water in a cup and a wooden stick so I can take it out as a Popsicle) and because her leg is totally numb she can't feel the ice very well but it softens the pain. She's brave, I have a brave grandma :D
On Friday neither of us could sleep, she was in pain and I was right by her side the entire night trying to do something to heal her pain, so there you had me making hot tea at 2 a.m., rubbing her leg with this special cream and talking to her to distract her from the pain. It was a hard night but I don't complain from even one bit, I am glad I'm doing this for her.
Last night (Saturday) both of us could finally sleep and we had a good night :) As of right now, I'm still at her place watching The New Adventures of Old Christine with Nicodemus right next to me while she's at the beach taking a break from resting too much :) She's such a sweetheart.
