Weaving is a recent pursuit of mine. Unlike you, my consultant has decided I'm too young for knee surgery. I'm nearly 66! Moving house to a bungalow with no stairs has helped a lot.

I hate sitting around, so by the first week I was up and helping with dishes and cooking (hubby took soooo long I thought I would starve to death! lol) The physical therapist said it was good for me to get up and move around, so I did. They had me walking with the walker up and down the driveway within a week. <br /><br />One last thing? I wish I had had the right knee done sooner. Because I waited too long I became dependent on the left knee and ended up damaging it so it had to be replaced as well. Because my gait was off for so long, the hip had issues too and was replaced. Don't be like me. (I'm sure you already know this, but before I go to the dentist for cleanings, etc. I have to take a prescribed antibiotic.) <br /><br />Your grandchildren are so cute and the soup looks delicious.

You are such an inspiration to me with your weaving, your home, your attitude and the love you have for your family. I will be 70 this year and I am taking time in my life to enjoy all the crafts and my grandchldren, now that Covid vaccines let me. <br /><br />Keep on blogging please, I really look forward to your wise words.<br /><br /> Sue from Seattle who used to live in South Dakota and who is now living her dream life.SeattleSuetoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05637611277969400970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-32221836866389128532021-05-24T23:40:24.745-04:002021-05-24T23:40:24.745-04:00I never leave comments, but I think I should share...I never leave comments, but I think I should share my opinion on joint replacement. I have had 2 hips and 1 knee replaced. First surgery I was 64 years old. I am now (at 71) getting ready for my remaining knee to be replaced. After each of my previous surgeries, I can say that when they stood me on my feet afterwards, there was less pain then than before the surgery. I never filled the pain meds script after coming home, since I didn't want to become dependent. And I gave up the walker after a week or so, only using a cane when out and about, for another couple weeks. I know some folks have issues with recovery from joint replacements, but that has not been my experience.

I have made a variation of your potato leek soup for lots and lots of years. I have to agree with your daughter (sorry!) that this surgery will in the end be a positive thing.
