There have been some complications on the hip surgery that need to be reported. About a week ago during a standar change of the wound dressing there was some concern about fluid build-up. Roberta underwent surgery to clean the wound and test the fluid. The fluid came back as MRSA positive. Yesterday Roberta underwent a third surgery that removed the titianium hip entirely. Basically, the plan is to keep a spacer in there, treat the infection and re-do this in 6 weeks. Post op she was alert and mostly comfortable for a person that has just been sliced open for a third time.
David dropped everything and is down there now looking after her.

Hi. I'm an OLD friend from Shellbank and now Florida. I don't have your mom's cell number to call her. Maybe I can visit her in the hosp/rehab. Let me know where she is, please. (Ellen Shelton)
