@suzzee2000 How are you doing today? Hopefully, you're able to rest comfortably We're thinking of you, wishing you the best. Let us know how you're doing when you can

 

[suzzee2000]

Hi Everybody!!!! All of you whom I wish I could tag but honestly I'm so so tired I can't. My mind is always here thinking of all of you and what I would do if I did not have the support you have given me. I'm doing very very well. The rehab center is going fantastic!! It isn't the one they had me set up to go to. I have a strange but happy story to let you know how it all happened!!! But I am in a Rehab center 15 minutes from home. The discharge nurse didn't like it but It's the best decision I made!
I mean when I say I am well on my way to a full recovery. The problem I am having is that I keep falling asleep and I am almost there right now!!!
My ROM is 110 on each knee and the PT told me I am doing really well in my recovery and they are just guiding me because I am rehabing myself!! I am also able to use my walker and go to the bathroom without being in excruciating pain

These first few weeks your body is in shock and just does not know how to respond. This is new uncharted territory for your body.....

How true those words are!!! My body is definitely in shock but I am trying to do the best I can!

I hope you have the best speediest recovery because that is the best wish to be sent

That's what I am working toward Nana!! Thank You for the best wishes!!! I have missed being around the boards seeing you!!

I wish you weren't in so much pain.

BigBend, Thank you!!!! I am doing fantastic now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope today was a better day. We're all pulling for you and you're in our Prayers!

The prayers are appreciated!!!!!!!Each day is getting easier and easier!

It WILL be ok. Take it one hour at a time

Derby!! I know it will be and I trying my very best to do just that!

Follow the mantras and life will get better. So glad you are making the transition to rehab. This is the time where you take care of yourself! Proud of you!

Thanks!!!! I am doing so much better! transition to this rehab has been fabulous!!!!

It's a big relief just having the surgery finally done, isn't it?

YES YES AND YES!!!!!! The surgery was the EASY PART!!!!!

I am sure your rehab will put you on the road to happiness.

It sure has! I have an elderly woman for a roommate and I love her!!!!!

Bless you Suzzee. You have truly been thru a lot. Hope to hear from you soon.

Oh Jozilla my heart was hear but I just couldn't stay awake long enough to post anything

Keep us posted as you're able.

Being able sure is the key word Kneeper! Wow.....it is so true!

ust thought I'd drop by to say I'm thinking of you and hope you are doing well,

THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

hoping all is going well in rehab!

The food is the Bomb!!! and everything else fits me just right!!

How are you doing @suzzee2000 ? I hope all going well x x x

Now that I am back here able to post things are better!

It is GOING TO BE WORTH IT!!! It HURT like none other but the pain I feel right now is only TEMPORARY!!! It is so exciting to stand up and NOT feel the Arthritic pain I did before!!!!!! I have to admit the first few days were the most excruciating pain I have ever felt but I also know that is in common and I am well on my way to recovery!Like I said before, I was able to come to Rehabilitation Center closer to my house!!and things on the homefront are wonderful!!! The kids have been here 3 times now and with being so close it makes it really nice!! I will try my best to get here as much as I can.

Hi Bill!!!!They have just said it was impressive! My extension must be pretty good, because they said it doesn't get better than this! Since I have moved to Rehab I had a PT come in from Cincinnati yesterday,Then I had a different one today and tomorrow will meet the team that works here tomorrow! I will ask them specifics so I can post correctly.

 

[Nana moon 27]

Ah @suzzee2000 how fantastic that you are doing so well. I'm so pleased for you. Your positive attitude is all but bursting out these posts!! I'm glad the kids have been able to come see you. That will help them immensely with the separation issues. How long will you be in Rehab for?

Your rom is super duper wow 110 so early on! But Suzzee the only thing I will say to you is please be careful and don't overdo things, trying to get back to normal too quick.

It is soooo lovely to hear from you again and look forward to your next post and once again Suzzee congratulations and well done x x x x x x x

Love Nana moon 27 xoxoxox

 

[yiayia3]

Great to hear from you @suzzee2000 so pleased your doing so well keep it up x

 

[Jozilla]

Congratulations! You sound like everything is being well managed at a great rehab center. Your positive personality will help so much in this recovery. I am more than impressed by how well you are doing!!!! Your rom is great and I look forward to your posts. Truly inspiring! Xoxoxo

 

[referee54]

Congratulations on your great and wonderful trip to the "Other Side"!!!

The problem I am having is that I keep falling asleep and I am almost there right now!!!

That is all quite normal---the pain meds are part of that as well as the fact that your body is channeling large amounts of energy to your knees---sleep is great!

My ROM is 110 on each knee and the PT told me I am doing really well in my recovery and they are just guiding me because I am rehabing myself!!

That is awesome!! Take it easy and let your knees be in charge---you are dong fine!

I am also able to use my walker and go to the bathroom without being in excruciating pain

And it will get better---thee little victories will turn into even larger ones!!

 

[Karringtyn]

Great hearing from you..I have to agree...PLEASE don't over do it. Miss you around here!!! xoxoxox

 

[dogwheels]

I am so so pleased to hear how well you are doing and how all the arrangements have sorted out just fine.
Take all the opportunities you can to sleep, rest and heal. You are doing great and I am SO impressed.
Look after yourself and those brand new knees!
Xxx
