Hinged Joint Revision Complete, recovery continues

[Bonesmart.org] Revision Complete, recovery continues
Yeah! Pumpkln! that sounds like mighty good news to me. What's an iced Americana? That's a new drink on me---maybe I don't get out enough.
 
Thanks Bottomshollow,
I am more hopeful now that the sensoy issues will improve.
An Americano is espresso mixed with hot water, it's was hot today, so I had mine over ice. The link will tell you more.
They are available at all coffee shops.:mcoffee:

We folks in Montana are serious about our coffee. I just had a 15 min discussion about the various drive through coffee kiosks in our little town of 4000 people!!! There is a Starbucks inside the Safeway which is exciting to us since we do not get many chain type stores coming to Montana. I love Mochas, but can afford about 2 a month. So, I often drink Americanos which are much less expensive. And, I have found that coffee with cream and a shake of vanilla is great!!

On the serious side, I am glad to see you progressing. I know that I was so reluctant to have surgery and frankly, this last rehab sucks big time. I feel cheated, I missed another summer!! So, I understand your reluctance to look at more surgery. On the plus side, my knee does not hurt when I ride my bike--and I was in agony this spring.

Somehow, I got through the two rehabs for my knees and then thought that I had had the "Surgery to End All Surgeries".
I really never anticipated this extra summer of rehab and discomfort. I am still not 100% have been hitting the gym every day--come home drenched in sweat. But "bad things happen to good people" and I have lived through it and am now happy to be able to ride my bike.
 
I'm so glad your appointment worked out. Good to know what is going on. Sorry about the nerves but good they are still in good shape. Glad you treated yourself to a treat, you desire it. :yes!: Hope you have a good week. Tomarrow I have a acupucture appointment. the first one really helped. Hope this one does at least or better. Take care. :puppysmooze: Tashia :bicycle1:
 
Pumpkin, Just came by to tell you HI and how much your support has helped me. Are you going to try to ski this winter? Keep me posted on how you are doing. Take care and do have fun. :puppysmooze: Tashia :bicycle1:
 
Waiting to see how I am doing this winter, only going to ski if I feel strong enough. Still have good and bad days, the unsettled weather today is making my knee unhappy. But it is still better than it was a few months ago. Took a drive to the lake to enjoy the fall colors, beautiful!
Take good care, hope you are feeling better today,
 
Just need to rant about how disappointed and sad I am about not being able to ski. :sorry: My nephew and niece are learning to ski, and I am stuck in the lodge while my husband juggles both kids. One is an intermediate and one is a beginner. How I would love get out there and ski with them, share the experience and my knowledge about how to read snow, read the run, pick the best line, and how to stay out of trouble, or get out of trouble safely.
My LTKR knee has low level pain 24/7, if I do too much it flares up. It is better than before the replacement, I can at least work and walk enough for around the house, shopping, and short distances. Giving it time as the 3 revisionists I consulted with recommended, taking another look at it only if it gets worse, and for the annual check. And yes I have a new surgeon.
Thanks for reading my Rant, I feel better already. Tomorrow is a New Year and hope for a better outcome.:tada:
 
Chris, I can relate!! I have been injured and had to sit out or worse yet, work in the ticket booth!!! It is not much fun---but use your hands as skis, put them on edge and talk about skiing with your family---give info at lunch or in the am. Participate and then enjoy the wonderful scenery and the fun of watching your loved ones ski.

I hope you brought a good book and I hope the lodge has a really, nice bar!!
 
Chris, I am disappointed with you. I know you love to ski and it must be very painful to watch other people skiing while you are in the lodge. I need to share this many years ago I was seriously injured and had to be in a wheelchair for 6 years. :yikes: All I could do was watch people do what I wanted to do so bad. :shocked: Sometime I would come home and have a good cry. :beg: Then when it retunes to be able to doing it, you enjoy it more than you can imagine. :dancy: I do belive that if you still want to you can make it happen. :happydance: Take care and keep your dream. Now I need to thank you for your friendship. You helped so many times this year and I looked forward to keeping this friendship. See ya in 2013. Happy New Year. Tashia
 
Hi Chris,

Sorry to hear you are feeling let down. I had really hoped to be in my kayak last summer but with a revision it didn't happen, so another summer on the shore. Here's the good news; you have time. I know it seems like an eternity since surgery but perhaps another year of recovery and getting stronger will get you closer to the slopes.

You have supported me so much as I struggled. Let the rants commence and your friends will come to your aid!

Happy new year and best wishes for a healthy knee!

Cheers,

Dawn
 
Thanks Kelly, Tashia, and Dawn, your care and support is much appreciated. Mt. Rose has a great traditional old fashioned day lodge, with a really nice bar, with a buritto bar on the weekends.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year, and continued healing.:egypdance:
 
Pumpkin, Hope is't not too cold. Have you gotten any snow. We are sure cold and a lot of fog in the morning. Take care and stay warm. Tashia
 
Tashia,
It is very cold here, we have about 6 inches of snow. I went snowshoeing in the back yard to try the equipment. Everything worked, will try it out at Galena Park this week. Keeping warm in the house and with hot chocolate. I hope your fog goes away, I think it is colder than the snow when it is foggy. It goes right through your clothes.
Sending you a hot chocolate to enjoy with me. :friends:
We had fun with the kids at Mt Rose, I stayed in the Lodge. Today they had Bratwurst and :cheers: Beer on the deck with a German Oompa pa band, lots of fun.
Stay warm in the fog, knee is same old same old, no better no worse.
 
Thank you for the hot chocolate. :heehee: It was very good. :loll: You are right the fog is so cold. I can't believe how high I have my heater turned up to. But it keep me warm and not hurting so its worth it. I'm so glad you had a good day. I went for a drive and really enjoyed it. We are going to make it, its just taking a little longer but the knee is in charge and they do get their way. Don't they. Take care. Tashia
 
Chris, the bratwurst, beer and band sound pretty good to me! I know it's not exactly where you'd like to be but there is hope for the slopes next year!

I live close to Harpoon Brewery so yesterday after looking at possible wedding venues we went there for lunch. They had the fire pit going and it was about 35 degrees, a heat wave compared to the minus 15 on Thursday last week. Another beer or two and I could have stayed out there for a couple hours!

Be well and let us know how you're doing!

Dawn
 
Pumpkln How are you doing. Are you feeling better. Nothing like a cold at this time of the year. Hows the weather? I think both of us are in the Warning for cold weather. We got in the twenties, How about you? Well I am sending you a hot bowl of Chicken Soup. :mcoffee: Stay warm and take care. Tashia
 
Had a good day, then the cold caught up with me. In bed early tonite. Thanks for the chicken soup! Freezing here, and sunny today. :)
