Baby steps.... Another newbie

hey hippy-trippy-sistahz! Hipletty-tripletty, hippety hop. Ok, somebody shut me up, it's the tramadol talking.

can you suggest some soothing silver flute music?

I have to tell you, to me, flute music is anything but soothing! Either I'm remembering a time I played that piece, or critiquing the current performer, or trying to play along in my head. Bach and Baroque are good choices for flute too, but when I want to be soothed, wind instruments are the last place i go! LOL How about Haydn string quartets? Mozart? Even Beethoven. And piano trios?
I'm taking tylenol and tramadol. Do NOT like all the tramadol,l but it's all I've got. If I could take double the tylenol.....nope, too dangerous. But ya know? I say to myself, every step I take is a step towards recovery! How's that for rationalizing?
And now i must take steps towards paying the bills or some lovely thing like that. Cooking ahead. Making lists-- all the ones I did not make on vacation! too much going on here. See yall in a day or two!

sqwerlie thanks a mil! I've been crazy today, wondering if I really need a new hip!...., but as I look at my stairs resignation hits me! I'm packed, laundry is done and the cupboards stacked! My surgeon better be ready coz no coffee and a gimp leg coupled with a menopausal woman spells TROUBLE!

TennisNut ... I also wondered at the last minute, "aw, do I REALLY need this new hip!" Well, yes. I (you) (we) do.
Best of luck to you today. This time tomorrow you will be "on the road." Post when you feel you can. Take care.

Goody, surgery should be over and you should be resting comfortably now. Keep pressing the morphine button and you will be resting good. They should give you plenty of pain med scripts before you leave there also. I am
really happy another hippie is out of that disgusting pain, no other way to describe it. Rest and take care of yourself during your recovery
