    Hi Marianne, It is nice hearing from you. I am glad to hear things are healing now. I hope you feel better and better over time. I am sure the motivation of chasing Owen will help with rehabbing your mobility. Take care my friend.:hugzz:

    TKR Still Looking Forward..... is there any other way?

    @Jamie It is all about paying it forward. People were there when I needed advice or just a little sympathy when I was feeling sorry for myself and thinking I was out of my mind to do this to myself, so I have to help others to feel the warm glow of the light at the end of the tunnel. I have...

    TKR Still Looking Forward..... is there any other way?

    @jul I remember many tough days feeling like I would never have a normal life again.... This site kept me going and keep my focus on the positive. I often recommend it to people I meet at work who are going in for knee or hip surgery. I like to pay it back with positive feedback. I was the...

    TKR Still Looking Forward..... is there any other way?

    Oh my goodness!!!! It has been so long since I was here! I want to say Hi to all. I have had a wonderful summer. The weather has been fabulous and I spent all summer working in the sunshine in the garden center at work. April May and June were so busy that I was exhausted by the end of the...

    Good for you, Pat! :wowspring: I am glad you conquered the run/ walk..... It is a big achievement and you were due. Glad to hear things have gotten better even with the draw back of the cyst. I am sorry to hear about Anne. We all have someone struggling with cancer.... It is an insidious...

    Yes Lynn.... I catch myself doing things and then realizing after that I couldn't do that for a while..... Yeah!!!:catdance: Each landmark makes it easier to meet the next challenge.

    TKR Still Looking Forward..... is there any other way?

    Yes Pat.... I am pretty happy. It feels so good to be able to do so many things again. I see you are getting out and doing more too. I am glad your bakers cyst behaves sometimes and lets you go hiking. I have trouble with the down hills too.... I think it is due to my balance issues. At least...

    TKR Onwards and upwards - my journey continues

    :sorry:Awe Pat.... I am sorry it is acting up again. I hope the cyst decides to behave.... you deserve some pain free time. Would having that knee done get rid of the cyst? I am having leg cramps at night. I realize it is part of the healing as I get more active and the muscles adjust to the...

    TKR Still Looking Forward..... is there any other way?

    Wow!!!!:dancy: 4 months on the left knee and 17 months on the right.... Success! I can do things I was unable to do for the last 20 years. I do get tired faster (I am 20 years older after all.) I return to work tomorrow. That will build my stamina quickly now that the major part of healing is...
