Congratulations! <br /> Your comments about your knee recovery, along with what others are saying, is still scaring the hell out of me, but I’m keeping myself positive for the Oct date. <br />Keep healing! <br />MarthaMarthaVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936514662127166756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-89070094937919292272021-07-20T08:52:06.738-04:002021-07-20T08:52:06.738-04:00I agree with everyone’s comments about your recove...I agree with everyone’s comments about your recovery. And all I can do is be rather envious about the gallery. Wish I weren’t, as envy isn’t pretty. But I really want to be completely done with shows, yet I can’t figure out how to get rid of all the things I’ve already woven. So I don’t feel like I can take the step to sell my tent yet. ☹️ GOOD FOR YOU!!!Peg Cherrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09773197169705414183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-78048630685528169132021-07-19T23:30:44.692-04:002021-07-19T23:30:44.692-04:00Good for you with the new decisions.

They did have that sleeping issue, so uncomfortable at night, so tempting in the day.

I am glad you have your pups and cat to love on.<br /><br />Wishing you a continued successful recovery. (when I was in the hospital getting my kidney removed my roommate had a knee replacement. I would not have traded places with her!!)<br /><br />NancyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132708876205540359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-80846100447424372862021-07-18T15:27:17.232-04:002021-07-18T15:27:17.232-04:00You are doing great, really.

I miss the naps...dozing off to Law and Order, Gunsmoke, etc. <br /><br />I didn't mind the icing. I bought one of those old timey ice bottles from Walmart. It has the cap that you unscrew, fill it with ice and no leaking. <br /><br />Smart of you to simplify. No more shows, letting your chickens go. It sounds as if you had a lot on your plate all this time. <br /><br />You drive yourself to PT? You are ahead of the game. PT came to me and I was not given the green light to drive until 6 weeks. You go girl!

I was told by my surgeon at 6 weeks that it was very early days and it takes a good 6 months to a year. Its a serious operation and has some serious time involved to recover. After 2 new hips and then the knee.... the hips were nothing compared to the knee! I know you aren't a fan of the ice but it really is your new best friend. Resting and naps are great as you have been through a lot and sleep is the best healer. The IT band tightness stays with you a good long time but eventually one day it just feels fine again. The nerve jolts will keep you hopping for a couple of years. Getting to the 90+ degree bend is key as it sets the tone for the rest of your healing and future mobility. It does get better.....<br /><br />Is it worth it? You bet! So I'm with you in spirit and 6 years down the same road.
