I was reading a post last week--I really cannot remember whose it was and the person commented that she did not like to read the posts about how some people healed faster than others on this board. She said that she would not even read the posts from some of the people.
I did go back and reread some of my posts--and I guess good news does sound like bragging when I reread it. But, sometimes I was just so excited to be getting better--I wanted to share it.
I do feel cut off from friends right now because I can't do the physical things that they are doing---so, in a way, this board is performing the role of a friend for me.
I am alsways happy to read about somone who springs right back from surgery---jealous too, sometimes--but happy for them. I realize that in my own surgery I never took into account the rearranging of my knee bones and the trauma to my entire leg that would result from that.
Still, I have been lucky and I know it. I was in good shape prior to surgery and am moving back to being in good shapagain. But, I am inhibited from posting because I don't want to seem like bragging---or to hurt the feelings of someone who is not progressing as fast. But, i miss being more honesr on this board. Kelly
