A couple of years ago, Madison dislocated her kneecap while doing a round-off back handspring during her tumbling class. She has gone through a few rounds of physical therapy and cortisone shots with no success. After a few years of pain and inflammation, we decided it was time to try surgery. For Christmas, Madison got a big fat lump of coal and some love from Dr Wathne on December 29th.
Feeling a little better after getting up and around.
LouAnn Smith (from our Ward) was Madison's pre-op nurse. Here she is putting in Madison's IV.
Making sure we get the right knee, Madison gets to say "yes" and put her initials on it. Note the scar from a fall "up the stairs" at school!
Everyone is now ready!
Post operation pictures. Ouch! Lots of swelling and bruising. This was taken four days after surgery.
Madison says this hurts! I Can't say I disagree.......
