On April 22 we had a pipe elbow failure in our Emergency Department (ED) causing a significant water leak. Crews are assessing the impact and we are in the process of water abatement. Our ED is open, but several rooms are currently offline which could increase wait times. Some surgeries are also being rescheduled.
“I love golf. But during the past few years, the increasing pain in my left knee significantly impacted my enjoying the game. I went from carrying my clubs, to pulling them on a cart, to limping off the course after playing only nine holes. I couldn’t stand for extended periods. I had lost the quality of life I once had.
“The first time I went to the driving range after my knee replacement surgery, I was stunned by how great my new knee felt—solid, perfectly natural, and no pain. I got back capability I had lost—I’m really appreciative. I now look forward to beach walks, travel, even doing yard work knowing that I won’t be limping at day’s end.
“I’m guessing I’ll have my other knee replaced—it depends on how much trouble it gives me—but I won’t hesitate to have it done!
