Many thanks to Jackie's brother, who has spoken to Jackie and said the surgery went fine, and as expected, Jackie was tired. When my husband had this done, he was completely out of it for 48 hours -- groggy from the anesthesia and then from some kind of meds after they took out his nerve block. They do get you up and stand yo on your feet the same day. And apparently Jackie will be in therapy immediately tomorrow, so her bro won't be talking to her until then.
So the great news is, it's over and she made it through. Let the healing begin!
PS: Let's all send a little extra positive vibes toward her not having to be on that coumadin that she was on for so long before. Maybe we can wear "Team Jackie" tee shirts so the blood thinning gods can know these intentions loud and clear. Perhaps we might go so far as to chant, universally, until the energy surrounding the bands of the earth shift to prevent it.
I know this suggestion will not be seen as preposterous in Jackie's eyes. Do you remember when she was on that stuff? 'Twas was a great day when she got off of it.

Good riddance to that old knee, which caused Jackie so many problems. And hello to her brand new Smith and ...Wesson? Smith and something. May the new knee serve Jackie well and long.
Hope her recovery is smooth sailing--Jackie certainly deserves it after all the post-op complications last time! Thanks Sydney, Laurie and Jackie's brother, for keeping us updated.
I hope that your recovery period goes as well as mine has gone so far, after my total knee replacement surgery.Stay positive, and do everything that you are asked to do in rehab. I'm in outpatient rehab and am being motivated by my upcoming cruise.May all of the "gods" be with you as they have been with me.Margaret Lewis

Margaret -sounds like you have a great attitude. I'm sure Jackie will be happy to read all your comments once she's back home.
