Hello everyone, this is Greg making a post to update everyone on Aretha’s condition and progress.
Aretha sustained a knee injury at the end of March, or the first of April. We thought it was a simple sprain, but she was getting progressively worse. She had to wear an immobilizer brace and be on crutches for several weeks and that did not help her. The Doctors became convinced she had torn her ACL, so she went for an MRI series, but nothing showed up, so they decided it must be a miniscus tear, with a possible slight ACL tear, one too small to be seen on the MRI.
Aretha had knee surgery the first of July and was on crutches for several weeks. She has been having intense and very painful physical therapy three times or more per week and is very slowly making progress. She is able to spend more time using her cane now, but she still has times where she is unable to get around without her crutches.
She is very upset and depressed about things, because she cannot be online, but because her leg does not move well, and does not really bend she is not able to sit at a desk, and due to the positions she must lie in, her laptop is just collecting dust.
