Right ankle: thoroughly cleaned, but did not move forward with ligament repair because of "suspicious fluid" seeping from joint. Could be an indication of early infection. Hopefully antibiotics can get it under control so monday's surgery can do what today's was supposed to.
Left knee/leg; removed more muscle that had died off in the front of the calf. Cleaned and replaced wound-vac sponges with new. Monday's surgery, if plans don't change, will begin the bone repair to the knee and leg. Doctor said the leg frame should come off at that point. Weird to think of the pins and rods being removed, since it has been all that has held her leg in place.
She is back in the room, groggy but hungry...yay for hungry!
