Jerry Get's A New Knee

Jerry has been having a lot of problems with her left knee. Our Doctor in Montgomery decided she needed to have a total knee replacement. They arranged to get her an appointment at the famous Hughston Sports Hospital in Columbus, GA. We had an appoitment with Doctor James McGrory who specializes in total knee and hip replacement. He conducted a thorough examination and determined that total knee replacement was in fact necessary. We had done a thorough check of him and because of the way he conducted himself we had full confidence in him.

We scheduled surgery for September 20 and he said Jerry should be in the hospital for about four days.

We decided to bring the motor home to Fort Benning and stay in Uchee Creek Campground. The park is real nice, the sites are large, level and it's real quiet there. It's about 20 miles from there to the hospital in Columbus. We got checked in, set up and I was prepared to be there for about a week while Jerry has her surgery. This evening we had a lot of new neighbors visit us.

We've been told that these deer come here each evening and that they are not really afraid of humans.
