THR Herman's Debut! Jill's Recovery :)

[Chihuahuan]

@Jillie422 What a lovely oasis to recover in! I had been wondering about one of the z-gravity chairs --think I will get one for me xxx

How beautiful!!! And Jax is so cute.....can't see enough of hubby to determine! ~ I've wondered about those chairs....and if they would work equally as well indoors. So glad you were able to take in the fresh air....and reduce your intake of meds. Good for you! ~ I can't believe it has been three weeks already!!!!

 

[Jillie422]

Actually, 2 weeks tomorrow @Nana2-8 ..... so the beginning of my third week with Herman. He's my new BFF Any new news on your appt???

My zero gravity chair certainly puts Herman in his comfort zone and I'm grateful to have it! I can raise and lower my legs effortlessly and it doesn't put any pressure where it shouldn't be. Highly Recommend @Chihuahuan !

Aha! Thanks for posting those pictures, @Jillie422. We have one of those chairs, but I'd never thought of trying it. Mike just brought it out and is cleaning it off. Can't wait to give it a try!

All the very best for you and Herman God bless

I have one of those chairs too- aren't they the best! It will be too cold for me to use mine outside but in spring I will whip it out quick smart!

Soooooo....I have my 2 wk appt tomorrow.... And I got to thinking..... Does it hurt when they yank those staples out???

@Cynthia777 , @gullimac ??? Anyone?

 

[Cynthia777]

HI @Jillie422
I had sutures and I didn't even know they had taken them out. From what I've read others say, at most they felt a little pinch. Good luck tomorrow and DO NOT watch them take them out! xoxoxo

I had 24 staples removed, and didn't feel a thing. I could hear a clipping sound for each one, but that was it.

Oh thank you @Krista !

And you too @Cynthia777 !

I'm thinking...geeeesh! I've been living with that hellish OA pain for years and now I'm worried about a few staples?? Different kind of discomfort imaginings running away with my brain I guess lol !

Good luck with the staples. Jillie, your river garden is beautiful, what a great place to recuperate! I just saw one of the zero gravity chairs in the store and think I'll get one too. Thanks!

 

[Jillie422]

Thank You @Horseshoe ! I think you'd appreciate how the zero gravity chair can bring you comfort so you can sit outside sooner. I've even brought mine in for TV because it's more comfy for me.

Any news on your new date?

 

[Horseshoe]

Hi Jillie! great idea, I'll make it my TV chair and then get one for the outside too. I didn't get a recliner so this will work out perfectly. No date yet but it's the holiday w/e which I totally forgot about..

 

[Jillie422]

Oh me too ! duh memorial day. Hope you're not in too much pain...

How's your Uncle doing?

 

[net0girl]

So glad you are doing well. How do you get u into the chair

 

[gullimac]

@Jillie422 most I felt on the staples was a little pulling and a slight "burning" feeling. Wierd to describe. Certainly nothing compared to what you have already been through.

 

[Jillie422]

Thanks for that @gullimac ! I don't know why I suddenly got apprehensive about that after everything lol

 

[Chihuahuan]

Thanks for that @gullimac ! I don't know why I suddenly got apprehensive about that after everything lol

I remember being quite sensitive about lots of things for a while after my knee ops.

 

[Miss Muffet]

@Jillie422 - I'm sure you'll be fine, and also glad to be rid of them!

 

[Nana2-8]

Funny how our brain works, huh @Jillie422 ? Just remember....as they are doing it, we'll be holding hands. And then.....a big sigh.......DONE! ~ Won't you be glad to have that behind you? How's the area looking these days? Bruising? Fading? Tender? ~ You really ought to be collecting a commission on those zero-gravity chairs!!!
