Well, guess it is my turn to start this thread. Hospital called and I am very first one on the list for tomorrow (8/16/12). I don't know if that is good or not, not just because I am first on the list, but because I know my OS will be back from his vacation and I am wondering how he will be. You know, when you go back to work after vacation, you still have vacation brain. Hope he will have his head in the game. I know I will be able to joke with him about it. I am getting a Signature Personalized replacement by Biomet. MRI was taken and sent to Belgium and I guess they send back a template for where to cut or something like that. I am sure I missed something when it was explained to me. All I know it is suppose to be a better custom fit.
I still haven't packed yet. They have group therapy at our hospital where a half dozen people that have just had replacements get together and work out so need to not look too much like a slob. I think I am ready, I have done the pre surgery exercises and plus I have been doing my walking DVD since Jan and worked up to 5 miles a day and that took me 1 hour and 10 minutes a day 5 days a week. I know many are probably wondering how I can exercise if I need a knee replacement. Well, I put a big elastic sleeve with something that cups the kneecap. It seemed to keep everything in place. So I better get off the computer and get the rest of my office work done. I work from home. We have a dairy farm about 3 miles from our home in the country and I take care of all the books. I did everything I could up ahead of time. Banking online works great as I could get all the bills paid but with a date when I am in the hospital. Hoping the milk check will clear by then. So I won't be able to take weeks and weeks off, but I can work at my own pace too. See you all on the other side.
that is a good one kneeper. Don't think all the people we do business with and owe money would care what is going on with me, they just want their money. Talking with my therapist today, he gave me rules for going up to my office. No more then a half hour at a time. So I can do that. Will get my husband to help me get my knee elevated while I work up there too. He tells me I am territorial with my office books. Says he can do them, but guys, listen, when he use to do the books, if he was within a thousand bucks, he said that was good enough. That would be fine if the dairy industry was rolling in dough, but it isn't so I just have to learn to do the books in a different way.

I have no idea how you are able to do your book keeping, for a good two weeks or more my eyes would cross and close at the sight of numbers and words!
You are a Super woman and a Bionic woman all at the same time1
It is fun to play with them!
I had so many drugs left after being home and weaning of the narcs that my husband and I thought of opening a little stand, like a kool aid stand, at the end of the driveway! You see we now live in a 55+ community and we know there are a lot of baby boomers in pain! Hey, it could be a supplement to our retirement fund!
I think it could work Deb!
