Leg Weakness

Hi All,
Just a quick update and call to prayer today. Diane has been doing well with the pain management, but she feels that her legs are getting weaker. Saturday she spent the whole day in bed having sleepy Saturday (while the kids were running through a corn maze with my sisters Mary and Betty). Before I address the Sauerbraten, I remember Dr. Franckfort encouraging Diane to walk around each day after her surgery because the body loses X% of muscle tone (wish I could remember the amount) everyday you don't use them. So I am attributing the leg weakness to Saturday's lazy day because yesterday she did pretty well, certainly better than Sunday. Mary cooked Saurebraten for our Saturday night dinner and it was delicious. Though Diane did not join us at the table she did enjoy the noodles, gravy and the Sauerbrate (we finished the red cabbage before she got a chance at it). Her appetite has waned in the last couple of days and so she needs to be encouraged to eat and because of her determination to get better, to get stronger, she does eat. Please keep praying for the poundage, please keep praying for her total healing. Love, George
