Revision TKR Story of My Knees by RestAssured: Pt 3

[Pumpkin]

a little and you are ready to go.

 

[Jamie]

Sorry, Sonja.....I can't see you sitting still long enough to "do nothing" for a whole day......

 

[RestAssured]

You know what's funny? Before knee replacements, the weekends were spent in my recliner, just trying to rest the knees for the new week! Now, I don't see my recliner most of the time; I'm too busy enjoying life! Oh, by the way, we are heading to the Ronnie Milsap concert tonight!

Love it, love it, love it!

Spunky Sonja albeit Shy Sonja is on the mend!

 

[RestAssured]

Oh the Biggest Loser kicks off again in my town on Monday night and I am ready! It will help me with the pounds that I put back on and will get me in better shape than ever! Now please I haven't looked, but will someone tell me if Nov 25th is before Thanksgiving? After all I must give thanks! Turkey, dressing, pecan pie, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, pistachio pudding oh the list goes on forever! Then, I will do something that I haven't done in YEARS. I will hit all the stores for "Black Friday" shopping just to get exercise!

 

[new knee in June]

Remember, you have a busy week coming up..get your rest !!!!!!
Have a great time tonight , sounds like fun !
Diana...." June Sunbeams" .....enjoying life......

 

[RestAssured]

Well thanks, I am going to take a nap in about 10 minutes and it will be a blissful 1 1/2 to charge my batteries for tonight! I am so excited. My Mom, hubby, best friend, her hubby, and me! Ummmm it seems like I am forgetting someone... Oh yeah, my BIL. Oh well 5 out of 6 ain't bad!

 

[Celle]

Caryl

Celle,

I will let you know when we return!

It is only 4:45 p.m. right now. The concert is at 7:30 to 9:30 pm, so if you hear from me during those hours it will be
A. I became giddy w joy and started making international calls
B. My hubby told my BIL what each song means one too many times and is "resting" at the behavioral unit
C. I took my BIL out to the Balconey and convinced him that "Smokey Mountain Rain" does not mean someone is smoking while it is raining in the Smoky Mountains!
Yes, he does ask questions like that, hence the addition of aforementioned letter B. !!

 

[RestAssured]

Well,

The Ronnie Milsap concert was fabulous! If any of you get the chance go! I was my old self again plunging ahead and zipping through the crowds! I did not even think about my knee! Wow! !!!!! Now THAT is progress!!!

 

[Jamie]

Cool!!!!!

 

[Celle]

Glad you enjoyed the concert, Sonja!

I got my times all mixed up and I forgot that NZ is ahead in time of you. "First country to see the dawn"- every day - that's us! We've just put our clocks ahead one hour, for the start of Daylight Saving (Summer) time.

Caryl

 

[RestAssured]

And soon we will move our clocks back one hour for winter !

I think I told you that my Sister and Bro-in-Law would be in NZ during my graduation! I will head to Kansas City MO after graduation for a week or so w Mom. Hubby says too cold!

 

[new knee in June]

Good morning Sonja,
Glad you had fun at the concert I don't think I've ever told you my husband lived in Texas, he absolutely
Loved it ( the ladies always made him talk,they loved his accent ) He lived in Houston & Austin, Spicewood,
Near Austin.
I hope you plan on resting today take your medicine on time....
Thinking of you,
Diana

 

[RestAssured]

Well...... If you call writing a thesis paper, prepping another thesis paper to finish tonight or tomorrow, getting ready for Thursday's practicum at the school, talking to the Lawyer I am going to work with and the business owner I m working with not to mention PT M,W,And F, then yes, new knee in June, I am resting!

 

[RestAssured]

I can't stop swimming now! I will drown! This class is OVER Oct 11th and that can't come soon enough for me!

The facilitator said this was the best class she took..... Well, I guess we have differing opinions! I leave off a period, and I get 4 points deducted! No, definitely not my favorite, but it will still be an "A"!

 

[RestAssured]

Ok. Stop the Presses!!!!!!

Sonja has had 8 days w only 1 minor dislocation of the kneecap! "Capsie" and I are now speaking again , and I am happy to report that I got off the low leather sofa that my hubby likes to flop on to take naps, like a NORMAL person! I haven't done that in 23 years! It just keeps getting better all the time and tonight I go to the kickoff of the Biggest Loser Party! Bring it on! I am ready!!!!

 

[Jamie]

What a great report, Sonja!!! You have a stubborn kneecap, there (wonder where that came from? ), but you'll show him who is boss!!! I still marvel every day at your accomplishments these past couple of years. You make me smile!

 

[Campervan]

Sonja, I admire you so much. You work so hard both physically and mentally and when faced with challenges you hit them straight on, no wavering for you. Well done.

 

[RestAssured]

Awwww,

Thanks, Jamie, Campervan and everyone else! I did today in PT what my kneecap has been refusing to do with out going out of place! The quarter quad sets w the rubber band! They even put weight on the ankle and I did straight leg raises!

 

[RestAssured]

Well, I found out tonight that I am not with Soli! I am w Brian, and when I tried to get him to release me, he said I was way too valuable to let go of! He told my teammates that I have excellent physical stamina, so don't worry when they see MY workout, he will start them off slowly. He told Jennifer the biggest % winner that he would start her off a little faster. She leaned over and whispered, I just did the juice fast to lose 10 pounds the last week, I never exercised! I looked at her and started laughing! I said, I know, but Brian doesn't!
