As I sit with Jeannette, Rich, Joyce, and Erika we are all smiling, as her doctor finally outlined the big plan to get the legs fixed so Jeannette can get out of here.   Her left leg is set for its operation on Monday, Nov 5th and the plan is to replace her knee with a new bionic one that she can start working on THE VERY NEXT DAY!   Dr Kavanaugh made it seem simple, and he indicated it was an hour to an hour and a half replacement.    Barring no complications, her right leg will get worked on a week later.   It already has a rod in place, which will stay, but they need to graft some additional bone to fill a gap area so she can put weight on it too.   

Another great  piece of news is her damaged heel has repaired itself to a large degree, and so they have cancelled the surgery plans on that part.  Another big smile!   -- John
