THR Newbie already on the other side!

[Songlady]

Yeah, Elosarabrab!! And thanks for reminding us that it does take time to really recover! I feel so encouraged by hearing of your progress!

 

[TeeEm]

I had to look twice when you said it was 6 months since your surgery and thought I'd lost a few months somewhere,

And me . I got very confused then. You are doing so well. I cant imagine being 6 months post-op or imagine being able to walk up and stairs normally, so your report is really inspirational . Im sure your ROM will improve with time.

 

[Elosarabrab]

Littlejem, Defo no regrets having surgery. When I think back to this time last year I was in agony, We couldn't go on holiday as I could hardly walk. Planning getting married next year so holiday then.
I will get the kneeling eventually. Although its the getting back up which is the problem.
sandybeach, The ROM is difficult after so much damage over years but we will get there.
Liveringer Yay you getting your sock on. I cant do that yet without a struggle and the grabber
Songlady, Its funny on the one hand it seems to be taking a long time to recover then on the other the time has flown since my first surgery.
TeeEm, Yes still got to work on the ROM but I have come so far its hard to realise until I look back at old posts.

Elosarabrab married next year, that's wonderful, absolutely brilliant!! What a great thing to have to look forward to and yes you will enjoy your honeymoon and have no pain!! This is such good news, I'm so glad you've shared this with us, you will have to stay on the forum now to let us have regular updates on wedding plans!!! xxxx

Elosarabrab Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Thanks for sharing your six month update. It is so helpful when you are struggling in the initial recovery period, to have someone put it all in perspective.

 

[zauberflöte]

Elosarabrab add me to the list of the "I wuz confuzed"! But I've got it straight now, and your update is wonderful you know, I'd bookmark all these posts that inspire me, but then my bookmark list would be as long as the forum,,,,,,, LOL.
Thanks for sharing about your upcoming wedding. You know you will have more cyber bridesmaids than you can shake a stick at. Come on girls, lets go dress and shoe shopping for Barbara's wedding!!

 

[Songlady]

Yahoo, a wedding! Congratulations, Elosarabrab Barbara! What fun!
And you are so right about "time".... it can seem fast and slow all at once!

 

[sandybeach]

zauberflöte Songlady LeeApril26 Littlejem I think all of us bridemaids should car pool to the wedding. Elosarabrab I think your wedding plans will be so much interesting reading than what we've been writing about. Notice how we can switch the subject on a dime??? From how you are recovering to the wedding plans, just like we are all sitting in your kitchen talking. I'm excited for you. Now you're a new woman and ready to take on life.

 

[Songlady]

Elosarabrab, can I play the organ for you? (can't find an organist smilie.....) I can wear my special Organ Shoes! (Yes, I am serious - they have leather soles so they can slide over the pedals, and a 1 inch heel so you can play one note with your toe and then easily reach to another note with your heel without hitting the notes in between...!)

 

[sandybeach]

Songlady I think we all should volunteer our talents. I bake and decorate wedding cakes.

 

[Songlady]

Ummmmmm (deep breath, admitting the truth here......) OK.... actually, I could officiate, as long as the wedding isn't May 30 - I'm already officiating at one that day......

 

[LeeApril26]

Have done lots of event planning . . .

 

[zauberflöte]

Songlady you have to play, b/c one flute on the Wedding March just doesn't cut it.....so I'll play, whatever you want Barbara!! PS I eat wedding cake.......and go to events that are planned.....
this is kinda fun.....

 

[Littlejem]

Oh wow, all these treats in store for the wedding, a dozen (zauberflöte LeeApril26), bridesmaids in an array of clashing colour, a singing, organ playing officiating Songlady, a fabulous sandybeach cake and I'm quite good with flowers, not only that but we can save the planet by all arriving in one car!!!

Littlejem,zauberflöte Songlady LeeApril26 sandybeach@Liveringer,Peaches,Kim22

Its a shame you are all so far away. Its 10th May 2014 it will be the tenth anniversary of our first date. We met at work so were friends for a couple of years before we got together. Planning a small wedding in Gretna Green. You can all be cyber bridesmaids.

 

[TeeEm]

Elosarabrab I think you need to set up a bank of laptops so we can all be there on skype

 

[LeeApril26]

Elosarabrab. Oh, Greta Green! I grew up on Georgette Heyer novels. Sounds like a very romantic plan.

 

[Littlejem]

Very romantic not at all like I had planned for you
It really does sound wonderful and lovely that you were friends before the romance blossomed. Lots to do and loads to get ready I bet, it'll all keep you very busy over the next 11 months!! Congratulations xx

Littlejem why do we have to clash, pray tell?? Are you saying you have no confidence in our boss the bride to choose good colors???????? I have every positive thought that she won't put us in pink checked gingham!
TeeEm my niece got married in April at her hubby's church which has enormous tech capabilities-- they streamed the wedding!!!!!
Elosarabrab what a wonderful wedding date choice. It already means alot to you, and now to make it doubly important. We just picked a day the bride didn't have to work LOL. I will have to google Gretna green. I know the name from my fiction reading, but don't know anything about it. AHA! Wow-- the world's most romantic wedding destination, right there in Scotland! I'm looking at the website for Anvil Hall, which looks alot like several popular wedding venues that I have played at. I bet it's 500 years older than ours tho.... LOL
