Thanksgiving thanks to Dr. Unis

Yeah!!! Joe's hip surgery was a success. He was able to receive a minimally invasive procedure that our doctor does. It will save him hopefully weeks of recovery. We had a long day at the hospital but when I left him he was drowsy and had already walked today. Tomorrow, instead of Turkey we will be walking the halls of St. Lukes helping him become stronger... the pain should start to subside....Joe is ready to be the "old Joe" again. Can you imagine how it must feel to be in such pain that you have start loosing perspective on what is is like to feel good? To be limited in your activity level. A huge thank god that we were able to have this procedure done. I hope it changes his life for the better.....in other news, it's my darling parents 47th Wedding Anniversary! Happy happy Anniversary Grandmom and Granddad.....

Wendi & Joe,
What a relief that it is over & successful. In the end, we DO have a lot to celebrate on Thanksgiving Day. Enjoy the hospital turkey and congrats to Grandma & Grandpa on their anniversary.

Marvelous News. The best anniversary present was knowing Joe's operation is over and that he's on the road to feeling fine again. No more Pain!!

The 2nd BEST anniversary present was the great gift from you and your sister. WE LOVE It. Granddad is set to start filling it with pictures.

I'm so sorry we couldn't be with you in person thru this ordeal, but you know we are with you in spirit.

Happy Holiday. Next year we'll ALL be together (with Lia Rose)

Love, Your mom

Hooray! We are so glad that you have made this hurdle. We are going to miss you terribly today at thanksgiving dinner, and the Macy's Parade just isn't the same without you here on the sofa in your pj's watching with us, but you have a very good excuse. We can't wait to all be together when the kids come in, and enjoy New York as a huge family!!!!

Keep going Joey!!!

Love you all!
