    Oh @EalingGran that is so scary! No warning…ugh! Were you hurt? Did it cause a scene? Not important I know, but still, these things can be a bit embarrassing. I hope you weren’t hurt though. I’ve really only had a one or two times over the years where I had no warning, but generally I’m...

    Just general soreness. A little stiff and achy first thing in the morning. Can get a little ‘hot’ feeling after pt or a longer walk. I can move wrong in some random way and irritate it. Often it’s a knee or a foot that actually hurts. Mostly I feel the Tylenol is more of a preventative, but...

    I did have a little of that sway right at first, although I was able to correct it. It will still happen once in a while when I’m tired if I don’t notice it and fix it. I love this reminder and I love The Marvelous Mrs Maisel! There’s no way I will not think of this now every time I walk...

    Yes, you are absolutely right, and they are learning more all the time, fortunately! I hope there will continue to be more research into these connections. Reynaud’s also runs in my family, although I don’t have it myself. I also have autoimmune disorders in my family, and there’s another...

    AllNat, the falling is the scary part after joint surgeries! It’s terrifying, honestly. I almost always have some warning, but the only thing to be done is to lie down. Sitting is not enough, I will still pass out. I must lie down, but once the black out starts, my body just kind of stops...

    @Legseleven sounds like you are familiar with the basque cheesecake! Yes, sooo rich and decadent! It is probably a whole day’s worth of calories in one slice, but as a special treat, so lovely. @EalingGran it is a crustless cheesecake with cream in it and you sort of scorch it so the outside is...

    @EalingGran I’ve also had POTS since at least my teens. But I didn’t get diagnosed until last year! Long story short, I just thought everyone fainted from time to time :heehee: So I never mentioned it to my dr’s. The only reason I finally did is my symptoms seemed to be intensifying last year...

    Thank you @EalingGran I’ll check out Slow Horses! I remember that you have POTS also, and if I remember right, some hypermobility too? The POTS can be really troubling…I don’t know about you, but it caused me some pretty significant memory issues, to the point I was starting to worry I had...

    @AllNat I love that your leg took matters into its own hands, so to speak! I am constantly in awe at the wisdom of our bodies. It just knew when it was ready. So exciting, and also funny! And I relate too because the first time I swung my leg up on the bed, my husband was there ready to lift...

    Before it’s all lost to the holes in my Swiss cheese memory, I want to get some memories/thoughts/milestones down here for my own future reference, and possibly as helpful experience for others combing through and trying to get some idea of what recoveries are like for others. I’ll try to...

    @AllNat this is so funny…I think we were posting on each other’s threads concurrently:wave:

    You were so right, @AllNat …both places were new to me and the sofa was indeed funky/sexy-looking but not supportive at all, and the reclining seats at the theater were nothing like the comfy, leg extending ones at the place we went before. I wrote in my own thread about the soreness that...

    Yeah, so I spent Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mostly taking it easy. I felt much better yesterday and may have gotten a little carried away, based on my step count! I’m going to try to be a very good girl today. I don’t want a roller coaster ride of feeling better, doing too much, rinse...

    @AllNat , we had a nice time and it was good to get out and see friends! I did feel a bit like a slightly deranged recluse being ‘out’ after so long, I mean, I’ve gone to my pt appointments and one dr’s follow up, but that’s pretty much it! We were in this very cool bar with beautiful people all...

    @AllNat and @Layla , just curious, did you have a posterior approach?
