Revision TKR Story of My Knees by RestAssured: Pt 3

[kneeper]

Good idea to sleep propped in your recliner.

 

[skigirl]

what a slog. I am sure you are fed up with dealing with health issues!! It sounds like you are on the right track at least.

 

[RestAssured]

Yes, I have been out of the hospital for 6 weeks this time! It had been every 10-14 days that I was back in! I am ready to start living again!

 

[PegGar16]

Happy to see you are doing better!

 

[Celle]

I'm glad you're doing better.
Keep taking things slowly.

 

[skigirl]

You are finally feeling better---remember it is not a rush toward life, but a steady pace. Right now, you are still vulnerable and need more rest and recovery. Have you been working before all of this medical stuff?

I am glad to hear that perhaps the worst is behind you. We have missed you on the Board and I hope that things sort themselves out for you.

 

[LaPaz]

Sonja, So sorry to hear of all your ups and downs but happy to hear you are improving now.

 

[greatlakes]

Sonja, I love Celle's post to you- forward is forward! May all your directions from now on be forward.

 

[lovetocookandsew]

Wow. I don't know how I missed all this, but am glad to hear that you're doing better. If it's not the knees, it's something else. I've been having a time of it lately too, and don't wish it on anyone. I hope and pray you continue to do well, and get back to life soon. Kim

 

[KarriB]

Glad to hear you're feeling better! Continue to take care of yourself!

 

[NightQuilter]

Sonja, so glad you are on the right course now ... you have really been through it. Keep listening to your body ... slow and steady and all that!

@lovetocookandsew Kim, I am so sorry to hear you've been having a rough patch too. Hope you are on the mend soon!!

 

[PooShay]

Is this the party thread??? I see Sonja is keeping everyone entertained!

Hugs!

 

[RestAssured]

Thanks @PooShay! LOL

Party thread, no.... well maybe. I don't think anyone wants to join my party though

 

[RestAssured]

Hello,

I wanted top share with you the effects of not exercising for 6 months has done to my knees. They decided to get very stiff and a little painful. Back to walking as tolerated and moving back into my routine when I am able.

My newest/oldest adventure is atrial fib reappearing! Oh well, I will deal with it.

 

[Pumpkin]

Slow but sure you will get there. Sending positive thoughts for the a fib to go away.

 

[KarriB]

So sorry to hear you're still having heart issues, Sonja. I agree though, my knee is much better when I'm able to bike. Walking hurts though, maybe because of my left knee. But I'm getting a treadmill in the next week and hoping that will help me with losing weight and make walking less painful.

 

[Celle]

Sorry to hear about your latest setback, Sonja, @RestAssured .
Sending love and hugs your way.

 

[PooShay]

Everyone is keeping you company, Sonja. Sorry about all that. You've had more than your share of setbacks, but your spirit is good, seems like! Hugs. I was looking at the pic we took together. Seems SO long ago!

 

[NightQuilter]

Just checking in Sonja to see how you are doing. Miss you!

 

[RestAssured]

I have had a rough stretch with my heart! It seems that even though I am now on Tikosyn, Digoxin, and Metapropol, the heart is still ornery and leaves me breathless!

I may be looking at a pacemaker. If anyone has had anyone that has had a pacemaker for atrial fib and high heart rate, please let me know.

On the good side of things, my knees are behaving quite nicely after 7 for the left, and 5 for the right!
