Hi
@Angel1978 Your knee looks like it has healed very nice great to see and on your way great job another step along the way in your recovery journey. Friends true friends do not judge you for for what you have to offer by monitary means they should be your friend because you are who you are. You might be surprised that you actually have friends and not realize it people you see neighbors can be your friend . a friend does not have to be someone you see all the time they can be people you meet while buying your groceries someone you see when you go to your doctor people who you interact with good friends do not make their friends feel unhappy or less then they are if they make you feel that way might be better without them.
Sometimes now with all the technical stuff friends are people you meet on your phone and stuff not always the way that we looked at a friend years ago people are so busy now more people work and so much rushing around. You have friends here maybe not the type you can go and do things with but the kind that you can talk to and say how you are feeling and they will listen. You are doing really well still early it takes time my knees both of them can still feel stiff and get sore not painful but sore today they are sore. Think the weather is one of the reasons today it is so foggy driving not seeing too far ahead so had to be so careful.
Think how far you have come already even walking on your walker just a week ago you went through major surgery and walking better slow taking your time that is an accomplishment all by its self. We need some warm weather sun helps so much good that the popping is not happening this time think all will work out great just need to get lots of rest and knee will like the time to relax to. Today we went for breakfast nice to see people we have not seen for a while one of our friends at this restaurant made me feel so nice today she peaked around the corner and came up to the booth we were sitting in. She said she had not seen us for since before Christmas she knew my surgery was coming up she works full time during the week and in restaurant on weekends so we must have missed her.
She wanted to talk to me while my husband was getting our food and said she had talked to my husband and wanted to come and see me. Nice feeling she is our friend she made me feel nice and said they had been asking if anyone had heard from us and told us even other customers had asked being that we are regulars there that is the sign of a friend not someone who lives maybe even near you , not seeing them often, but someone who makes you feel you are cared about that is a very important thing. If someone makes you unhappy better to keep away not that we do not feel unhappy sometimes but people who go out of their way to make you feel less then you are or unhappy the way they treat you are not worth your time. Positive vibes are the best to heal with , take the time now to get sleep, and all healed up the nice weather is coming not far off now and getting healed up and legs all set you will be able to go and enjoy the nice spring and summer seasons it has been a very long winter but the end is coming.
Gardens will start to make buds, flowers seeds are now being sold in the stores here so that is a great sign of nice things to come. My knees are tired today but how much we enjoyed our visit to our park just taking a bit at a time. Wishing you more and more good days thinking that years ago when knees were damaged bone on bone people would probably be left to sit in a wheelchair now with modern medicine we have another chance new knees when healed new movement the bend will come not to rush it it will come when all is ready.Today is is drizzling light rain and very foggy so we decided to miss our walk we have had lots of fresh air over the past week so tired today think our bodies are saying needing a day to take it a little slower.
Hope you are having time to relax maybe you will find a nice movie or something you like to watch , even things like search a words they can pass the time, you will be busy soon enough so take the time now while you can cause when the weather changes all you will want to do is go our and enjoy it. All the best your doing great take your pain medication I found icing and elevating sometimes uncomfortable to but did the icing just the same helped with swelling just make sure you do not put it on your skin without a light cloth to protect you.
