Bob's heading home now

Just got the call from Bob - he and my dad are heading back now from the ER. They drained a lot of blood from Bob's knee, took x-rays and found just the arthritis. Gave him an injection for pain and spoke to his surgeon, Dr.B, who wants him to go in and see him tomorrow to review the x-ray and see what the next steps should be. They wrapped the knee and put an immobilizer on him and sent him home. So I guess we won't know what's going on really until he sees Dr.B tomorrow. The good news is there was no break/fracture or tendon ruptures showing in the x-rays today. Thank goodness! We'll post more tomorrow when there's more news to share. Thanks again for your prayers and positive thoughts!

Glad there were no breaks/fractures/ruptures :) Sorry that he's going through this though. Let us know how the appointment goes tomorrow! Tell him that trying to be like "Gracie" (you know, "Say Goodnight Gracie") really isn't him ;)
