Got an update from Keith (Leslie's brother) yesterday evening. Leslie is back in Walkersville in rehab and ready for visitors. The pain seems better managed but at a higher dose... We are optimistically conjecturing that the reason the pain was so out of hand was also the more dire need for the second surgery; that bone chip that was not properly placed in the first surgery.
Anyhoo... Leslie has had a night at Walkersville and is settled in, I believe, for the near-term, long-haul of recovery, she still must keep the leg weightless (as Bill Amos quipped "she doesn't have a leg to stand on") and will start therapy soon.
The next big thing - until someone tells me otherwise - is a trip back to UMMC Shock Trauma for clinic hours with the orthopedist there. I think that's a week from tomorrow or Thursday (the 14th or 16th) and we should know more then, but that's it for now.
