Terry's Surgery

Hey Fam! I just wanted to fill you in about Terry. To catch you up if you don't know (in a nut shell): he paints cars, he was standing on a stand painting the roof of a suburban when the stand collapsed, he fell to the concrete floor and hurt his knee, elbow and back. This happened May 22nd and it has been a tedious process working with workman's comp and getting to all the right doctors. Today he had surgery on his knee. They went in with a scope and scraped down the torn meniscus and some damage on his knee cap. We arrived at the surgery center at 7:00 am and were home by 12:30 pm. He was knocked out for it and is now in bed doped up on meds. Wednesday he goes to physical therapy and should be weight bearing then. Please keep him in your prayers as his knee mends and during the procedures to look at his back and elbow. He has hired a lawyer to help him handle the workman's comp people, they were a pain to deal with. He has been off work since the accident two months ago. Workman's comp is paying while he's out but he is still stressed about his workplace and the feelings toward him and about money. We are happy this important step is done (surgery) and pray for a smooth recovery. Thank you. I love you all!
