Marmitetoasty SOS: Knee Surgery

Huckleberries received word this morning that our favorite Brit, Marmitetoasty , is going into surgery Wednesday morning (Tuesday night, our time) to have total knee replacement surgery. Sez she in an e-mail that her doctor told her “judging by me Xrays I shouldnt even be standing let alone walking around, he said having a high pain tolerance is not always a good thing cos the bones are so badly worn that if he dont do this op NOW then there wont be much good bone left to make a good job of the replacement.” Complicating matters, Marmitetoasty almost died following reconstruction of her ACL and PCL a few years ago, which was a minor surgery compared to what she’s facing this week. She’s also facing hard times financially since she’s self-employed and looking at a long r-‘n-r. Bottom line? She’s scared and feeling lonely about the surgery and beyond. So, I hope you’ll take a moment to type out a message here to cheer her up. Also, keep her in your prayers and thoughts in the coming days/ DFO .
