Papa's got a brand new hip.....


Hello to all;
It's Pam, and I writing in Buddy's blog to bring you up to date on "The Surgery". January 14th at 11:00 am, He went into surgery to replace his worn out hip. For the next few days(probably until,Sunday or Monday) He'll be in Bed 1 ,Community Memorial Hospital 5th floor. The surgery went well and Dr. Golden said there were no surprises. Buddy has asked for the old body parts. Doesn't surprise us.... He began physical therapy and He did well. He is determined to fight through the pain and get his cowboy boots as soon as possible.
Genelle is doing well too, Yesterday was a long day and she slept 9 hours at Joe and Nancy's last night. She is happy He is awake and seems that He is tolerating the pain. Tomorrow He'll probably get out of bed and stand, maybe take a few steps.
If you would like to talk to him feel free to call his cellphone( 805)415-9059 or send him an email. He won't be back to his computer until next week,but He'd love to hear from you. Thank You for your continued prayers for both He and Genelle.
