Sorry you are having those "family" issues. I have been there and can only offer you a bit of sympathy.

Family members mean well but sometimes they forget that words said at the wrong time can hurt. Your Mum is just worried about you but probably not expressing this in a helpful way.

You know what's right Natalie! You need this op and a life with your own children. Just be firm and ask that your plans are supported.

Hope you can get some rest this weekend. A bit of sun (hopefully) and some time to mentally prepare for the next step.

Take care!

You're right Jaycey she's worried and I think she thinks it will make things worse,I just wish she would have said what you guys had that she will be there for me no matter what and will support me.She has been very quiet since I told her and she seems distant :(

Hi Natalie, what a day you had! I too will be having a hinged knee I think? Anyway I know what you mean with family but they mean well I suppose! I have my appointment on 2nd of May at wrightington, might bump into you! That would be good lol. Take care, love Dawn Xx

Oh Dawn I am so glad you have got an appointment at last :) If I am still in we may very well bump into each other we may even end up having these hinged knees at the same time!!xx
 
I'm sure your Mum will come around. She is probably in a bit of shock as well. We always want the best for our "kids". When you loose control and need to hand them over to someone else it's sometimes hard. Just let your Mum know you would appreciate her just being there and supporting your decision.
 
I agree with Jaycey. When family is feeling helpless and they can't "fix" the situation, that's when misunderstandings frequently happen. Just tell your mum you love her and need her love and support in return and I bet it might smooth things over a bit.

I know all of this must be very scary for you. All this time and you've been so gracious through all of it!!! I know you are strong and you will get through this part too. I am praying for you and your family. I'm so thankful that you have the unfaltering support of your very special husband. He is a rock. Sure wish we could clone him....the world needs more guys like that!!
 
Thanks Jamie :)

I think it's hard for outside family members to see how much pain you are really going through too as they only see a glimpse of it where as my husband and kids see how bad it is,so sometimes I think my mum wonders why I put myself through all these ops and it's because I need something to work I need one of these operations to be the one that makes the difference and I have to keep fighting,but for her every op she's seen me improve then dramatically worsen :(
I hope that isn't the case this time but that's all I can do is hope.

I don't know how id have got through the last 8 years or so without him he's fantastic this has knocked him a bit and he was sure I'd not need another operation after the replacement but he knows I have to have these procedures.
It's been such a short period of time since the TKR he can't understand what has gone wrong :(
 
Maybe your body needs to get used to the new meds? Hang in there Natalie! Hope things ease soon!
 
Hi Natalie, I used to take ametrpt some years ago now for fibromyalgia. I was prescribed them to help me sleep. I was in a vicious circle of waking up during the night for several hours, then struggling to cope during the day. But I was told to take them around 7 in the evening because otherwise I was unable to function in the morning if I took them later. I ended up on 7 til I got used to sleeping all night then weaned off them. If your taking them during the day no wonder you feel groggy. They made me very sleepy and relaxed. Xx
 
No I take them about 10 at a night Dawn and feel dreadful till lunch time I'll try taking them earlier.I never sleep I get 2 hours at the most :(
 
Hi Natalie, hope your ok? You've been quiet today on here. Just letting you know I'm thinking of you an sending hugs your way xxx
 
I'm ok Natalie thanks. Pain is getting me down. Hubby said yesterday he thought I was doing too much. When I asked him how I could cut down he didn't have an answer. Apart from sitting and doing nothing I don't see what else I can do. We have 2 teenagers who need running around. Dad in hospital to visit too. I'm shattered! Visit Mr teanby Tuesday, but can't say I'm looking forward to that :c
 
Natalie

I have been thinking about you and after reading your latest postings see that at least things are progressing. I know for awhile things seemed to be stalled and you were suffering during this time. I am sending good wishes for your progress, try to keep positive.

Take care
