Dabber Hi Sue, I made made my Triple Chocolate cake but I added a homemade caramel syrup because I can.
Martha Stewart, eat your heart out.
I wish....one day, I'll add her technique to my Grandma's hands taste and BAM! I'll be rich!
patient 99 Carol, I literally LOL at your Dorian Gray comment. Hahaha! my aging is in the
sag of skin, I just keep it under wraps.
Okay, so I got my knees back... kinda and my back went away. In addition to my bones readjusting, it's mostly to due to my bed and sleeping position. The sleep position I can't do much about, but I did do something about my ski slope bed. I sleep on one side of my king size bed, be quiet
new knee in June! I flip it from time to time
well my kids flip it. It's been rotated twice since surgery(s) but, it's seen better days. WELL... I finally found a use for my knee immobilizers
RestAssured and
amab. I slid those babies wrapped in my CPM machine cushions under my mattress to lift it up.
That combined with a pillow, strategically place appears to have remedied the problem. Poverty is the mother of ingenuity!
Nothing like necessity combined with creativity to bring about a solution.
Now to put it to the test!
I said,
NOW TO PUT IT TO THE TEST!
You guessed it... I CAN'T SLEEP!
I guess I must be like "The Princess and the
Knee Pea."
I'm gonna
try to go back to sleep now. Maybe it's all that fancy tea I had just before bed. I'm afraid it wasn't the calming type.
I went to the
mall today.
Nope that's not a typo. A friend of mine needed to get something real quick. She let me out at the entrance closest to the store she was going into. While I waited for her to shop I checked the directory for Teavana. It's a tea store that I love, but haven't been to in ages. I knew I couldn't ask anyone else to pick up some for me, because they wouldn't know what to get and I wouldn't know what to tell them. I like to taste and then decide on
getting the exact same thing I always get. lol I was thinking about going just before my second surgery, but couldn't muster up the strength to take on the mall. Well...
Den-de-Neh! Today was the day! Where's my cap? lol
Anyway, it was wasn't too far of a walk so I went. I ended up also strolling over to Starbucks (more caffeine lol), which included a ride on the escalator.
VERY TRICKY FEAT INDEED for knee replacement recovers... Don't try THAT at home boys and girls. Later, we sat got a pretzel and sat down to people watch.
I was a pretty good outing and I didn't swipe my ODIC Card once!
daughter stalker would be proud!
Going to try and close my eyes before the sun comes up.
Have a kneeeasy day folks.
United States
shame !!!!!
Yay!!! Get some good rest this weekend and take care of that knee before you go to the OS.
But, since you asked 
Yeah, we tend to over do it here in the Good Ole USA, hence the ODIC card swiping marathons. Right??? daughter stalker? 
Oooo, and every now and then a lil' "information" for good measure. 
Oh and if new knee in June D'Diana wants to loan me one of her Warriors from time to time 
I hope your back and sleep issues straighten out soon. 
I will lend you " Sampson" my # 1 WARRIOR to lift your bed & your spirits 
I know you're making the best of an awful situation, which will make it a little easier to bare. 
It reminds me of this woman who had lost her hair to chemo (WHICH IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU!) and every time she went in for treatment or an appt, she wore a crazy hat or wig. You my dear are taking it a step further with the whole outfit and coordinated bag! 
I can wrap my leg around my head twice & kick myself in the butt 
Fall-out-somewhere-Friday and Switch-your-meds-for-information-Saturday! 
I wanna be THIS GUY!
