I think it's past time for a mom update!
As you may recall, Judy broke her leg in the car accident. She has been up and about, walking in her boot-cast for about 9 weeks now. The doctors were hopeful that if she kept active and irritated that broken bone enough it would heal. Unfortunately, she was not that lucky. An x-ray taken last week showed no calcification of the broken bone. The remedy? Surgery!
Today the surgeon re-opened mom's leg, removed the pin holding it in place, inserted a larger pin (2mm), and "generated fresh bone matter" to fill in where it should be healing. Now, the "generation of fresh bone matter" is most definitely the most awesome part, but I'm going to save you the details, because I love you.
Mom sailed through surgery in record time, and I'm sitting by her bedside now. She is really groggy, but doing fantastic. We are expecting just an overnight stay, she should be resting in a comfy recliner by tomorrow afternoon.
When asked if there was anything she wanted to say to her fan base, mom replied, "Ugghhhh". Those must be good drugs...
