TKR May I have some cheese with that whine?

So sorry to hear that. :cry: I wish I could come up with something funny to say to cheer you up. Unfortunately, I'm having an Alexander Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. It's been a couple of days actually. I gotta little teary eyed reading your post, the tears were good company to the ones already in my eyes. :boohoo:

I'll be praying for you when I send my petition up to God for the "umpteenth" as well. :angel:

Ironically, I was just researching the vary same thing. I came across the term on a thread. Yeah, we do need to STAY OFF THE INTERNET! Hopefully, it's something else... Something with a quick fix. Personally, I think mine is a lump of fat, never had pretty knees to begin with.

Wednesday will be here soon, but I know it's not soon enough when you need answer. :beg:

Hang in there :flwrysmile:
 
SFBaySailor & Bionic woman2,

It will be okay. :) My chin is up and I am anxiously awaiting my turn at the OS.

Bionic woman2, I am sorry to hear that you are having such a rough time. :sad: I am here and willing to listen. I didn't notice that you had posted until I signed off and saw the e-mail in my box. I will pop over to your thread and comment.

Have a wonderful Sunday, all! :flwrysmile:

Hi gal!

Yes, get off the internet! :) But not this site!

This little bump in the road is probably nothing, so try and focus on all your great improvements and achievements until you get to that appointment. I am glad you are doing so well and getting around. I'll keep you in my prayers until I hear about your OS visit, so you can share what he says. My OS doesn't see me again until 6 months! (2 weeks after surgery to remove stitches, 6 weeks to take away my pain meds and tell me I was healed and felt no pain:scratch: and 6 months to...who knows?) I can't wait to hear what sage advice he has for me then!:rolleyes:

You have made it! Working, interviews, parking spot victor, PT, wife, mother and new knee! Congratulations!

I think taking away your ODIC card hasn't worked. Perhaps we can get your permanently blocked?:snork: It is difficult to know how much to do, isn't it? I have managed a good balance this week but it is a tightrope walk with falling off being the beckoning of the ODIC. I didn't really get there this week, despite my fears. :egypdance:

Enjoy your Sunday and I will be looking forward to updates, Maria!

Good morning d.s,
You sound like me on the Internet...web md was my site to go to...but, I don't do that anymore :yikes:
I will say a :angel: for you until your o.s.appointment. Cysts can be drained if that is what it is & blood will
Re-absorb back into your body ( I hope everyone has had breakfast ) :rotfl:
Please try & keep your hours the way they are now, for awhile. Don't forget you still have therapy & that will
Take a lot of energy from you. It's up to you , not your surgeon.
Have a wonderful Sunday,
Diana :SUNsmile:
 
My Sunday has gone down hill fast!!!!! :bicycle2: I had to take my daughter to the after hours pediatric clinic where there is a real doctor not an Advanced practice registered nurse this afternoon. Pneumonia and Strep Throat!!! :yikes: My daughter can't go to school tomorrow. She just finished 10 days of antibiotics for a sinus infection. How could this happen?

I am scared for Me now! :shocked: My daughter is contagious and I have been with her quite a bit recently. I am going to call my OS in the morning to make sure whether or not he needs to start me on prophylactic antibiotics. I am not going to ask the rhetorical question I am thinking because I know the answer to it!!! :scratch: YES, things can get worse! :sick: I have infection in my house and a bump in the back of my knee.

PITY PARTY!!! It's time to rumba! :martini: ​

I am so ready for things to get back to normal and not have to worry about every little thing!!! :tantrum:

I hope everyone is having a much better day than I. Enjoy your evening/morning for those of you down under and across the Atlantic.

Take care! :flwrysmile:
 
My daughter is much better now that she has had some time with new antibiotics and an inhaler. I am so glad that I took her to the pediatric clinic. Now it is my turn to get better.

Have a wonderful week! Take Care! :flwrysmile:
 
I have arrived from Down Under for PITY PARTY........I can never stay away from a good party..lol
Totally hear you, my grandchildren have flu at the moment really bad, and my daughter in law asked would I look after them for the afternoon, they are 5 and 8 and love cuddles from me, I have never said no before, but you know I am finding it hard enough to cope with my days now, I am so paranoid about catching any thing .
Its a really hard situation for you,being your little girl. Hope you get some meds.
( HUGS FOR YOU, AT THE PITY PARTY) XOX
 
Good afternoon my friend down under (my TKR surgery twin)! Thank you for your hugs! :friends: I can't wait until my doctor's office opens in a few hours. I hope you have an awesome day! I have to get ready for work! :sad:

Take care! :flwrysmile:
 
Dear d.s,
Boy, when it rains, it pours :hissy: I am so glad your daughter is feeling better :) now, let's concentrate
On you. Good luck at your app. On Wednesday.
Do you get to stay home today because you are contagious ?
Thinking of you & your daughter,
Diana :flwrysmile:

I'm down for a Pity party with Knee pain :martini: Whooa Whooa! :egypdance:You know I know how to throw one too. I tag, oops I mean invite everybody. :heehee:

Seriously, I'm sooooooo sorry you've just had something else added to your plate. :console2: Here's hoping your Dr will give you the prescription you need to nip a possible infection in the bud.

Me too! Double Phooey Rats! :hissy: Said in my kindergarten voice. :tantrum:

Looking forward to hearing a good report :flwrysmile:
 
Hi all!
Thank you for the consoling! :console2: I need to get off the pity party wagon... :bicycle2: Bionic woman2 you are getting off that wagon too even if I have to drag your happy bottom off with you kicking and screaming like a kindergartener!!! :hissy: The tolls on the road are going up again and I can't pay for either one of our tolls!!! :heehee: Knee pain was just trying to keep me company. :wink: :heehee:

Today was quite uneventful at work. I like it that way. I called my OS this morning and he called into my pharmacy 7 days of antibiotics. I am glad he did this. :) I was so worried that I might catch my daughter's strep throat and/or pneumonia. I will keep my fingers crossed that I caught it in time. My daughter is doing quite well with the new antibiotics and the inhaler they prescribed for her. She is even going to school tomorrow! :yay:

Went to the PT this afternoon. :) I had my measurements done today again. I go to OS on Wednesday so they needed the measurements for the update. Without help I was 128/-6. After some stretching and help I was able to get to 132/-3. :happydance: Will I ever straighten to 0???:tantrum: How do these people who get to 0 shortly after surgery do it??? :headbang: :scratch:

I am going for a massage tomorrow. No PT, only a massage! I can't wait! :dancy: I haven't had a full body massage since June 9th. I NEED to pamper myself and also see if I can handle a massage on my right leg. Calgone take me away!!! OOPS that's for baths!!! Not a part of massages but you know what I mean! :heehee: Maybe she can help me loosen my muscles and tendons before I go to the OS. :snork: I am ready to go to the OS to find out what the small marble sized bump on the backside of my knee is.

I hope everyone had a great day and has a wonderful evening (morning for you Knee pain)! :flwrysmile:
 
Good report Maria...it's morning here and I am all hung over from the Pity Party, just hanging around in bed, sometimes I think it would be good to have a job, then I would get up and get going earlier, it's so easy to stay slumping around in bed. It's winter and to cold to get up...lol. No I'm just lazy, but I like it. Lol.
Have a good one. Xo
 
Oh, my massage therapist is going to do great and wonderful things for me! I only scheduled an hour today and she told me that she wanted 90 minutes next time! :yes!: I got some of the tension from my shoulders and upper back taken care of, but I really wanted her to work on my knee. We didn't have much time for her to spend on my knee so I scheduled a 90 minute session for Sunday!:happydance: My massage therapist told me that she would read up (brush up) on dealing with this type of scar tissue and that she was really happy to work on me. I have been using her for quite some time, but have refrained from going to her since my TKR. She has done deep tissue massage after surgery before, but has been out of practice since she now does the "feel good" massages at Massage Envy. I so want the stupid scar tissue broken up so that I can get a full extension! :hairpulling: I know, patience, patience! :whistle: In my BIG Kindergarten voice "I just can't wait that long!":hissy: And I trust her not to hurt me. :)

I go to the OS tomorrow morning. We will see what the verdict is on the marble behind my knee and if I will go back to work full time or not.

Everyone, have an absolutely awesome evening (morning for you, Leonie and the rest of the gang overseas)! :flwrysmile:
 
Thank you, Maria! I hope you have an awesome evening, also. You have had such a trying weekend/week and I hope things settle down for you now. A massage is a wonderful idea, I think I am going to steal it and get one myself this weekend. I'll be checking in to see what your OS says tomorrow.:friends:

Sleep well!:sleep:

I haven't been here in a while, so sorry :sorry: but have been catching up. First of all, how is your daughter? It's much easier to stalk her when she's home. Hope she is better. My daughter finally got over her ear infections, but it took some really strong antibiotic. How is that extension coming? I am not at 0 on my right leg either, my left leg got to 0 without too much trouble. Different knees I guess. The marble in the back is a good description. Glad you enjoyed your massage. Pamper away! How about work? I know the 4 day weeks are a good thing, wonder what doc will say? Now, as for the pity party, I have hosted my fair share of those. The good thing about them is they are easy to clean up after.

I always enjoy reading your posts. Even when things are going poorly, you still make me giggle. You have a great night as well.
 
Morning my almost twin, across the seas. AHHHHH Massage, just what I need I have asked my phisio, but just tells me my exercise is more important, I feel every part of my body is knotted. He should get real, its just not our TKR hurting, all the odd walking movement, and all the lying around on our backs, mess our whole alignment out.
Think I need to find some one who will give me a massage, facial, waxing, hair colour,eyelash tint, LOL I need the works. Sleep well.XO
 
Ready

My daughter is doing well. She went to school today and survived. She was so disappointed that she couldn't go to school on Monday. OMG is she beginning to like school? :shocked: I guess she sees the importance of being there so she doesn't miss anything. Make-up work isn't fun when you are taking advanced classes. She is in 8th grade taking honors algebra II and physics. She is also in gifted Language Arts. This apple didn't fall from my tree :thud: :rotfl: I wouldn't have known what to do with all those smarts. I was a swimming jock. My head was waterlogged. :heehee: It is hard to stalk a gifted kid especially when your head is still not dried out from all that swimming! :rotfl:
I am glad to hear your daughter is now well. Is she ready for school? Is your son?

I am so ready to go to the OS tomorrow. I want to find out what the lump is and to know if he will let me continue part time work. I want to still be off on Wednesdays but leave early 2 days per week to go to PT. I think this is fair. I will probably get my way since I have sick time on the books still.

Sleep well! Have an awesome hump day! :flwrysmile:
 
Thank you Roger!

Have a wonderful evening and sleep well! I'm going to try to sleep well :heehee:

Good night all!!! :sleep:
