FUCKYEAHMOM
My mom had surgery today. Got her knee replaced for the second time.
AND HOW HARDCORE IS MY MOM? The surgeon went in only to discover that she had BROKEN her old metal knee. TITANIUM. SHE BROKE TITANIUM. The doctor had never seen it happen before. He’s sending it to engineers at Dartmouth University. Amazing. Way to go, mom!
To be fair, I’m pretty sure these knees are only supposed to last ten years, but my mom will never throw something out until it’s completely useless, so she had hers for sixteen. I’m pretty sure that shit got worn through.
She is doing well, though a bit out of it. But she’s got her magic morphine, so life is good.
