@jimandlisa Thank you for responding (Lisa, I assume). Does your husband manage well on one foot with a walker? I find it difficult with personal everyday tasks and get weepy whereas I am normally a strong-willed person. I will follow your progress and wish you wellness for the new year.
@linjane Pleased you are doing well. This is really a fight with these viruses. When I was admitted to the hospital for my knee replacement I had contracted MRSA from the previous hospital so on IV antibiotics and into isolation I went before surgery. Needless to say they double checked me for MRSA this time but instead I brought E-Coli to the table!!!

@izabel Yes this is Lisa. Sorry I have not been back on before this. I recently started back to work so it's been more of a challenge to work and take care of him. But yes he is getting around fairly good with the walker. He really tried to do things on his own. He don't like to depend on anyone. And it is just really bothering him to sit around and do nothing. So he is constantly up with the walker moving. Which I guess is giving him practice on one foot. But by the end of the end he is really tired. Hope things get better and we can keep in touch.

@izabel You poor thing MRSa was bad enough but guess you wanted to keep it company now with E coli hope you feel better soon and quit bringing bugs in .lol
I know how serious this is just joking with you .I came home from hospital with MRSA so know what you went through.
