Sue has been having a rough time with her knees for many years and had several surgeries to repair them. The procedures seem to last for a while then not so much.
She had an appointment Thursday with a very good Orthopedic Surgeon who is very well known for his work.
He took x-rays and proclaimed that it was time for new knees. That is exactly what Sue wanted to hear.
So on April 28th. she goes in for knee replacement...both knees at the same time.
She should be in the hospital for three days and off work for twelve weeks. That is a heck of a way to get the summer off! No doubt, it will be worth the short term pain for the long term gain.
Of course, they are not my knees so it is easy for me to say that.
We spent part of yesterday and today cooking and baking in advance so meal preparation will be easier.
So far we have made up 36 servings of three types of homemade soup, two "hot dishes" and four loaves of bread...pumpkin and banana.
For the most part, the outdoor spring cleanup is done, so that is a big project out of the way.
Maybe next weekend we can get down to the camper and get it dewinterized for the season. I really don't want to turn on the water to the camper until the threat of freezing is gone. The ice is still on the lake, but that should clear off in a few weeks.
So there is my update for now. Stay tuned for more.

Sue has a good attitude if she is willing to have both knees done at the same time. I will be thinking about her, and hoping all goes well. One of the good things is that they have been doing knee replacements for years now, so they should have it down pat!
