In answer to @MACAWS question on the other thread. There is nothing anyone can do for us, only the man above can do that. I should have been answering on this thread about Brenda, now hopefully everything will be here instead of scattered about on the forum. She will be missing out on some of the trips we had planned for this summer and also meeting a lot of our SlingShot and Forum friends. I will try and keep everyone updated on her progress. Thanks
Brenda's Knee Surgery

you know once she is up for some company we could come to visit her... doesn't take much to get a group ride with a purpose started

I really hope she get's to do Maggie Valley, that is her goal anyway. Whoever would believe we would still have an open wound three months after the surgery.

That is crazy - I didn't know you could keep a wound open that long

Been awake over 24 hours had to take another short ride as soon as I got home. She had a 6 hour surgery last night removing all of the knee replacement stuff that had been installed in the last three surgeries. Cleaned the wound area of bacteria and put cement in to replace the knee joint to hold the leg straight for the next six to 8 months while trying to get rid of all of the infection and to get the wound area to close up. After that period of time they will reinstall a new knee. So her trips and some of mine will probably not happen this summer ( to determined as the dates come up ) at this time she is still in the ICU ( arrived in at 2 this morning ) because of some problems after surgery.

I am so sorry to hear of all of the problems Brenda is having. It sure has been hard on you all. Keeping you guys in my prayers!
-
Damn! What a journey she is going through! This really sucks. Bless you for supporting her through all of this. You're both in my thoughts & prayers...
-
She was so looking forward to the trips and meeting everyone this summer. Another big IF is she may not get a flexible knee joint after all of this and may not even be able to get in and out of the Slingshot.
-
wow! May god bless you and Brenda. Keeping you in my prayers.
-
It is going to take a lot of work to get her knee joint moving again, her muscles got to be very weak already. I can't imagine!
-
Thanks for keeping us updated!! Major thoughts and prayers for your wife!!!!!
-
Dang! Prayers and hugs for you both. A friend's husband went through the same or similar. It was a long haul, but he's doing very well now.
-
So sorry to hear about how this is working out.
We will keep both of you in our prayers -
So sorry to hear of the continued problems . We will be keeping Brenda and you in our thoughts and prayers .
