Willie Wood sat up in his bed and used his hands to help lift and maneuver his legs so he could face his breakfast tray...He has gout and has been unable to walk for the past four months, and he's about to undergo replacement surgery on his left knee to go with his previously replaced right knee and right hip......the room's occupant is a football legend.
Wood, a D.C. native who was a Hall of Fame safety on the great Packers teams of the 1960s, would get dressed shortly after breakfast. There would be a physical therapy session later in the day...His knee replacement surgery will come soon and Wood, 70, hopes to be up and about and back on the golf course not too long afterward...
