The next big event was Sandra's total knee replacement surgery on December 8, 2012
We do not have any pictures, but Sandra had surgery and did very well, although it involved a lot of rehabilitation and work on her part. She had a lot of help from her family - particularly Nancy and Barbara who were able to help her out - as well as her daughters. I did not take any picture (yet) but her scar is beautiful!
We also had a great Christmas which Sandra organized well before her surgery and we enjoyed everything. Here is Sandra after her surgery and ready for Christmas. Notice the beautiful and stylish white socks.
