Letter to the editor: Patient grateful to his community

I recently had full knee replacement surgery at Porter Medical Center in Middlebury. I have been putting it off for some time but the pain got the best of me. I have to say the staff and doctors at orthopedics, the nurses and staff at Porter were outstanding. Living in our community you get to know a lot of people. I also volunteer at Porter. I am recovering and have great movement in my leg. Everyone who was involved prior to and during surgery took very good care of me.

Also, home health with physical therapy, which I am continuing in Brandon, which brings me back stronger every day. The crew at Tri-Valley Transit, who brought me to and from my destinations, hats off to you. I would have been walking otherwise and that wouldn’t have worked.

For myself and my family we thank you very much. Also a special thanks to our friends and neighbors.
