The surgeon said everything went well. She was able to put a metal pin in there and wrap some wire for around the bone reinforcement. So hopefully if Mimi rests for a while and does all her rehabilitation, she should be able to bend that joint/move that leg again someday. For right now though, her whole leg is in a hard splint and she's wearing the cone and taking pain killers and antibiotics. And it's going to be like this for a while - total estimated time of recovery: 4 months. I asked Dr. Wendy "How come it's going to take so long to heal?" and she said, "Because she's old."
I didn't know we're "old." I'm actually a year older than Mimi & Kim. We're all old?
Take care!
