Long time ... no posts

Here it is August and we haven't posted anything since March. That's just the way we roll. This summer has definitely gone a bit differently than we expected. In June we decided that we would accompany Ray's family when they go to Disneyland in September. Because Lenny has been having so much pain in his knee, he thought he better finally go in for the knee replacement so that he could enjoy our vacation. His doctor told him he had to have it done right away so that he would be recouperated by September. So on July 8 he went in for  total knee replacement surgery. 3 weeks later he went in for an additional surgery to try to find the source of an infection that has completely kicked his butt and halted his rehabilitation. They found nothing. He has a pick line that allows him to have IV antibiotics twice a day. The pick line feeds the meds directly to his heart so that they get into the bloodstream moe efficiently. Yesterday he stated that he felt the best he has felt since the original surgery. He will have to have the pick line in for a few more weeks, but I think he is finally on the mend.
