Well it's happy first birthday to my new knee today,I can honestly say it was so worth having done.I have been lucky all went well even though I was so scared,Yes the first few weeks are hard but the pain of arthritis has gone forever,and for the first time in years I have a nice slim knee.I have to have the second one done this year
But know that it so needs doing,and I will never have knee arthritis again.
Anyone out there about to have a new knee,go for it you will be so pleased you did,after four months we did a road trip to Greece my knee behaved very well and the sun and sea helped me heal.Thanks to everybody who has helped me through this year it means so much,happy new knees to you all.
 
Happy kneeversarry here's to that second.knee and then wahaaay the world is your oyster. Well only if you like oysters but the world is.your whelk doesn't sound quite right

What an encouraging post! I hope your second knee, when you decide to have it done, makes an equally good recovery. Id love a slim knee but as I didn't have a great one in the first place maybe that's asking a bit much but a strong one is great!
Have a lovely knee anniversary
 
:flwrysmile: Happy Akneeversary Terri!
Don't worry about having the second one done,go for it as soon as you can and enjoy life without arthritic knee pain, I've found the second one easier than the first. I can't say I will ever have a slim knee, but I will settle for one that doesn't hurt.

Thank you all, not feeling well today and ended up at the local walk in centre,have had terrible acid and chest pain really scary.I was fortunate to see a lovely doctor,he checked me over heart fine and gall bladder O.K he feels it's bad reflux and has given me meds to take,feeling relieved but shattered as I was awake most of the night. Hope everyone is O.K and having a nice Sunday x
 
Hi Nanamoon how are you doing,not been on the forum for a while.I have had a few health problems very bad gastric reflux now on meds which seem to be helping.The good old artritis has now spread to my neck and upper spine and have just started acupunture as an alternertive to pain meds,I'm hopeful this will help,will let you know.Just catching up on your news really pleased your getting your left knee done,maybe we will be knee buddies again,I feel at the moment I want to be as fit as I can before more surgery so we will see.Hope your dad is O.K and all the family are well speak soon x

Hi @yiayia3

It's lovely to hear from you, it really is. I'm so sorry to read of your further health problems. I'm glad you're trying acupuncture. I was very sceptical of it until Freddy the French physio used it on me and it worked. It was fantastic to be out of pain. I sincerely hope it works for you.

Yes, it's got a good chance of us being knee buddies again.That would be so lovely. Im trying to get fit as well. Shed a few pounds, more activity. I've lost a few by just reducing portion size from man size to Ann size, cutting out rubbishy snacks, drinking more water and trying to be more active. I still have days where my mobility is pants but it's definitely improving x x x

How's Oscar doing? I bet he's big now x

Love Ann x x
 
Your poor hubby what a lot to go through,but he has a very caring wife must be a comfort.
Oscar is 6months now not sure if allowed but will post a pic of him

Hi Terri, how lovely to hear your news, and what a beautiful grandson you have! I'm sorry that your health hasn't been as good as it could have been, I hope it won't spoil any plans you have for the summer - will you be off to Greece again?
We are planning lots of short trips as we can't get to France until September this year due to the expected arrival of grandchild number two at the end of May.
My second knee is generally ok and is learning from it's older sibling how to behave. It has it's toddler tantrums sometimes, but I suppose that's to be expected.
Keep in touch and take care of yourself, xxx Lyn
 
Hi Lyn just catching up,you are doing so well really pleased for you.Sorry to hear your dad was so poorly,but looks like he's on the mend now.
Not sure where we will be going this summer, maybe Spain but have an invite from friends to stay with them in Greece decisions,we have to be back by the end of June for our eldest grandsons confirmation a big year for our family my twins will be 40 in November and are having a big party.Hoping to have next TKR in September, I'm fortunate that I can have it done with just a few weeks notice so nothing set in stone.We're planning a few short trips soon.good luck with the new Grandchild bet you can't wait.Terri xx
 
Hi Terri - I don't get on here that frequently and rarely receive Alerts, so apologies for missing your 1 year anniversary.
Sorry to hear about your reflux probs ........ I can SO sympathise with gastric stuff. It's miserable when you have to be constantly careful of what you eat in an attempt to avoid painful problems.

Love the pic of Oscar. He is such a sweetie pie - and has grown so quickly. Just gorgeous. What a happy little boy he looks!

What you need is a bit of sunshine to help with your painful joints. Hopefully Spring is just round the corner and we will have a nice hot summer again this year. It is SO cold today. I went to the hairdressers, and by the time I got back I think the cold got to my brain and cheque book (!) as I have just ordered a hot tub ...... yay!!! It is going to be delivered and set up just before Easter. I could really do with it right now - well perhaps not right now as my garden is full of workmen and a big yellow digger :blush:, but I can look forward to it. As Lyn (@Ellejay) knows I HATE baths, but a hot tub is different. I cannot wait. I have kidded hubby it will be good for my knee - I know it will - but more importantly it will be FUN! I have also ordered some lovely new swimmers, as last year's give me unpleasant flash backs of hydro and a wonky knee.

Hope your other knee and the achey bits behave sufficiently for you to enjoy yourself in the coming months, whether you go to Spain or Greece. Do you think the tourist industry there will be badly affected by the economy - I suppose inevitably that it will?

Anyway, whatever you get up to, take good care of yourself.
Lots of love, Chris XXX
 
Hi Chris great to hear from you,the hot tub sounds fab,bet you can't wait.I remember you have gastric problems it is miserable,really trying the organic route ginger tea and apple cider vinegar sounds awful but if it works better than meds.Its the arthritis that's got to me so painful in my neck and not being able to sleep,But hoping the acupuncture will help,slept much better last night so hopeful.
Sadly I think the tourist industry will suffer in Greece another bad season for them.
Take care Chris enjoy that hot tub love Terri x
 
Hi @yiayia3

Wow this is like old times with us lot chatting. Oscar is absolutely gorgeous. He looks such a happy and contented little fellow. Soooo cute! Xxx

Got so much going on behind the scenes here aside from the deaths etc, my head feels like it's going to just explode. I'm ok just a bit fed up.

Seeing Oscars picture made me realise how fast time goes by x I bet you cannot believe your twins are 40. I look at my grandchildren and I'm shocked at how quickly the two lads reached 18 and 19 last year. It's seems like only a few years ago they were like your lovely Oscar.

The time goes too fast xxx anyway. It's lovely to hear from you Terri. Please take care.

Love Ann x x x
