I think you are a bit of a wonder woman also Jamie, taking on the responsibility of holding down the fort while Jo is away. Thanks for stepping up, we appreciate you.

You're welcome, Chris. It has been fun learning how to moderate a forum....a completely NEW experience for me! But Jo is a fabulous teacher - so patient with my boo-boos. I am thankful that she gave me the opportunity to learn.

Jo, I've been praying like crazy for you and it sounds like prayers are being answered with a resounding, YES! I'm so happy to hear how well you are doing. Remember all the great advice you've given us... pain pills before pain hits, doing exercises, stool softeners, etc. Hopefully you learned a lot from our mistakes! We love you and look forward to your return to us! God bless you!

And blessings to Janis for keeping us informed on your recovery. Soon we'll see your scar pictures!! You are an official member of the TKR club now!!

 

[Judles]

We all are so happy to hear of Jo's daily
Progress report! Keep up the good work, Jo!

 

[Pattipoo]

Good Job, Josey.

NOW YA KNOW!!

 

[Skeet]

I can only imagine being one of Jo's nurses... I wouldn't want to mess up! She could probably teach them a lot about medicine and bedside manner!!

Jo, so glad to hear such great news about your recovery! It will be full of ups and downs and we will be here to help you through them all! Pop a pill or two and enjoy!

WOW 80%!!! I didn't do that till on the bike. Next is stairs and getting in and out of a car(another big one for me) One thing that happened with me is I fell the same day I got home. In the hospital thay don't tell you that it feels different walking on rugs as opposed to walking on a tile floor in the hospitals. I had all the throw rugs up but forgot how your walker doesn't work so great on rugs. My daughter sat me down and said to stay put. She went to store to get some goodies(drugs mine lol) well I decided I could get around and before I knew it was on the floor. Crawled to the phone called ambulance and went to our little ER. They couldn't believe I had just got home. lol Had x-rays and all was ok. Haven't shared any of my stuff here so ya are. Also Jo knows this and she she knows to stay put until she is ready to move. Had my surgeries in 90 and the other done in 91. My doctor was so great, he is legally blind now, such a gifted surgon. Have put a link to this forum on Christfirst so ya all may be hearing from others.
