I'm a red wine gal or a beer after golf. Vinny you are really living on the edge with that twist of lime.
Must admit that with the drugs on board at the moment I have absolutely no desire for a glass of wine. Pringles are another story....

Donuts for me Maggie dear....I lost 50 pounds before surgery giving up sugar and gained 15 back since the new knees...someone brought in donuts to the office yesterday and I had one...that was it..bought 3 on the way home and shoved them in my mouth.....no wonder I gave up booze and don't do pain killers..if you can be addicted to something I either am or have been....sugar free today back on the wagon......

@Maggie94 Sounds as if your knees are doing well and you are managing to keep cheerful with the aid of Vinny and @Legin . Cullen skink is so delicious. We had it once on holiday in Mallaig and I sometimes make it at home now. Great with crusty bread. Yum. I also don't mind haggis, if I don't think what's in it and last year in the Hebrides I got very fond of Stornaway Black Pudding!

2 weeks 5days...Laverne is at 101 and Shirley is at 104. Rehab Specialist has just seen me an she is very happy with my progress. So much so that I go home on Friday (3weeks 2days post).
Tried stairs today....mmmmm felt a bit uncertain but I did it OK. I understand that confidence comes with practice so I can see stairs featuring in both gym and hydro sessions for the rest of the week.
RS has increased Targin to 40 mg at night and decreased morning dose to 20 mg. Still have Endone for breakthrough pain.
So I'm on the going home planning list...organize the Throne is at the top of the list .
I have to say that the overall experience has been very positive for me and I feel blessed that getting my new knees has been so smooth. Having access to the information, experiences and support of the Smarties has been a huge factor for me. Thank you.
OK 4pm...time for another little walk and stretch. Take care all, Maggie x
