Our mother just had knee surgery on 12/18. They had to make 2 incisions and a cut her at the bottom of the knee, since there was more range than expected. The doctor told her she needs to be off it for 6 weeks. Obviously she is hoping for a faster recovery time but she won’t really know until she starts to go to her post op appointments. Our father just had surgery on his leg in September and is only now just starting to be able to walk with a boot. Our father is retired and our mom will probably need to be out of work for at least the 6 weeks. We are looking to help them out with providing meals for them, our mom has always been the primary cook (and honestly for good reason), but right now they could just both use something less to worry about.
