Steph well said. I am with you on sometimes you just want to do for youself.
If someone has not experience the knee/hip replacement they can't fully understand. It is like having a baby and hubby asking does it hurt in the middle of the worst labor pain ever

Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement. I'm sure we'll get past this stage and actually get on with what we need to do. I think I'm a bit anxious about getting everything together for Gabbys communiion party on Sunday, and I don't think anyone is hearing me (nor really caring ) about whether everything is neat and tidy etc...
Pt went well today....I think with a bit of tender loving shoving from the pt I'm almost at 90! She keeps telling me that I'm improving....

Way to go, Rachel! Improvements - even small ones - are to be celebrated! You'll get that ROM that you want here real soon.
Try not to worry about the party preparations. You weren't planning on issuing rating cards to the guests so they could inspect your housekeeping efforts now, were you? Trust me....you're the only one who will notice any of that stuff. That's just not where the focus of the day will be!!! Relax and enjoy it all!! These milestone moments are so special.

Hmmmm,
*quiches have stuck to the pan....ditch those
*pizzas bases are tiny (made out of puff pastry) to much of a hassle to fill)....ditch those
* shower recess is leaking.....can't clean the shower because of the need for water.....oh well there goes my pristine(??!) reputation
*Gabby feels like vomitting....so we might have to cancel it anyway.....
*floors need mopping.....interesting challenge when there are 7 people traipsing all over them!
*fridge is full....where do we put the party food????.....
I'm an imaculately straight walking, almost limpfree, painfree imperfect mother of 5 children....who cares about the housework? Its my brothers coming, (and they won't give a toss about the housework) and Stephen's family whose opinion I don't value on this matter anyway! ......So I am on the computer, not giving a toss! and tomorrow I'll re-engage with the mess and muddle, and get on with it.....

Rachel, THAT'S the spirit!! The day is all about fun and rejoicing. Clean and tidy comes very low on the list. Sounds like you are ready to have a great time. Slice up some varieties of cheese, throw out some grapes and other fruit with crackers and you've got a party...no need for a frig. Get Gabby some ginger ale, though....no vomiting allowed.

Rachel, you go, girl!!:yrk: Just relax and enjoy the day and don't give a hoot about what people might or might not think!!:p
God bless my friend who came in at 12 noon and SLAVED for about 3 hours over food....and finished all that i couldn't....salmon things, and dips and .....
party was a huge success. Heaps of food left over.....I ordered a cake which I expected would be a quarter of what it was in size, so big slices were the order of the day!!!
Gabby was fine and looked splendid.....a little like a redheaded Shirley Temple!!! and she felt very special, which of course was the reason for all of this in the first place!
THR survived the ordeal, I was on my feet ALL day, preparing, serving etc and not once did it complain.....although now its 3 am and I can't sleep! Where are you Peta???
I'm supposed to go to PT tomorrow for an allday session (9.00-1.30), I suspect that I'll be late, although I do need to go to get some good pt inspired / encouraged stretches in!....now the party is over I'm going back to regular life (whatever that is with 5 kids!) and I'm going to really get back to the real workouts that my body needs, and thats all over. Dr cleared me for swimming in "public" pools, so I'm off and paddling....can't wait
Anyway the party is over, so I'll have a quick drink of milk and climb back into bed and hope that the ZZZZ come!
Stay well

Rachel the story about the in-laws was to funny...lol.. Glad the party went well. Great friend you have there..I think you will love the pool. Yes get some sleep you deserve it..Nite Nite....
Rachel, so glad everything turned out fine. I was sure it would....it's amazing how things just always come together and people appear to pitch in. That's what friends are for and I'm sure you would do the same for your friends! It sounds like all had a lovely time. And you....will have cake for a while!
Get some rest, hon.....you deserve it!

Way to go. See it all comes together, just like all this hard work we are doing on PT it will all come together and our knees will fill good again and like new, the same with the hips.

Peta, painting at 3 am???? When do you actually sleep? I'd struggle to see the colours! or are they "wine" induced??
Kids are all home today. (Tuesday) some have headaches, some have sore throats, some are tired (partying tooo hard for an 8 year old!) and the mother couldn't be bothered so we called it a day and had a rostered day off!
Actually i didn't have any pillows under my knees last night, and I ended up taking paracetemol in the middle of the night!! I haven't had to do that at all for the last 6 weeks! (although I have had myself surrounded by pillows and the PT did give me a big stretch yesterday).....
Oh well so much for getting to the pool today!!!! I'll jump on the bike instead......

LOL - yes I paint Judy! Still life mainly, but also folk art and abstracts. It's my main passion in life after my family!
And Rachel - If I get roughly 4 hours sleep a night I'm doing well! Have no idea why - I'm not stressed, just can't sleep! Will be like that for weeks on end, and then might get a week where I get 6 or so hours a night. I'm so used to it now - I just get up and keep myself occupied!
