[dianemarie]

Tash,

How was your day? Hoping it was a bit better than yesterday. Miss hearing from you and hope you are faring well. Were you able to get everything in order that you wanted to before your surgery? Just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you and wishing you well.

Hi everyone and thank so much for the surport. today was a ruff day. Really felt down but it does pas. My rehab is ok but she want to puss. No pain, no gain. I don't think so. I wish I could get another but that doesn't happen, they aren't that many so have to put up with it. I am not haven't as much swelling this time so that is good. My range is really slow but I will get there when my knee is ready. Last time I pushed and boy did I pay. Hope not to do that this time. My surgrey date I think was wrong. The date was on the frist Monday in June so was that 4th or 3rd. I don't have a calender with me and when I get home I will get the right date. At this point what is one day? Boy it sure has been hot. I don't have my air conditer on in the apartment so it might be warm. I will have someone go over the night before and turn it on. Speaking of heat please everyone take care of yourself. and do remember to drink plenty of water. The whole US is really warm right now and since all of us on the mend or getting ready we need to make sure we have plenty of water to stay healty. Well that is all from me right now and I will now go and see who is on the site. Take care and do stay cool. Tashia

Tashia,
Thanks for the update, sorry you had such a rough day. Stand your ground and don't let them push you too hard. Hope you can go home soon, and that your A/C is up and running.

Hi Tash. 'no pain no gain'...bad approach if you ask me. Fortunately you are savvy enough to know how far to take it Tash, pleased that you are not letting her push you too far...you go girl


That's very good news that the swelling isn't too bad, take it easy and look after yourself.

Tashia,
I hope things start getting better soon for you! Don't let the PT push you around. You know your limits better than anyone! The heat here on the East Coast is extreme, the last two days have been brutal! Take care of yourself and keep us up to date!

Hi Tashia.
I see that you had your knee operation. Take care and rest a lot. I hope the healing will be easy for you this time.
Thanks for the post on my threat. I have been busy and have not posted in bonesmart lately.
My grandson has his open heart surgery on Tuesday, so am trying to get everything done here at home. Don't know how much time I will be spending at the hospital and I don't want to worry about stuff at home. Besides feeding the animals, of course.
Take care Tashia.

Tashia,
Very happy to hear you are having such a good day, enjoy it. Barometer droping here fast, or so my knee tells me. Take good care!

 

[tashia]

Today was my last day I think with this pt. We just don't get along. She really loves to push and I am not going into pain. In fact I told her I was finished and walked out. I usually don't do this but I really felt she was not listing and I didn't want to get into pain. So far its going very good. I am doing more walking with walker and not hurting to bad afterwords. However a whole night sleep would be great. I know it will come but patience sometimes escapes me. Everyone take care and be careful with the heat. Tashia

 

[Poppet]

Tash, good for you, taking charge... you know your body better than a PT especially after all your surgeries.. fantastic on the walking well done!

 

[tashia]

Hi good to see you are on the site. I don't know time where you live but its a little after eleven in the evening still on Friday. Are you feeling better? Will get over to your site and say Hi. Tashia

 

[Poppet]

Hi Tash, so 11pm Friday and it is 4:22pm Sat afternoon here.. have to check my math!

 

[tashia]

Hi, Everyone still having trouble with the site. I know this will take a while but I hope I will get it soon. Having mostly trying to find people. but time will come that I will also get it. Now that I am home I have more of a chance of typing and spelling right. In the nursing home it really got to me this time for some reason. Part was asking for pain medication and not getting into you were in pain. Most of the time I have to admit it wasn't bad. Well thats all for now, now that I'm home I feel a little down. So I am going to sign off.tashia

 

[Pumpkin]

Glad to hear you are home at last! Get some rest and we will see you back here later.

 

[Elle11]

Hi Tashia,
That is greta that you are home and in your own environment. It is not a good feeling asking for pain medication and not getting any. Sorry you had to deal with that.
Sending you good wishes to feel well and happy.

 

[tashia]

Thats Elle11 and Punkin, That you, In a few days I even feel better. After I sign off had a little cry over all of it. It is very emotional trip and every time I get home, I have a good cry. Now I have had it and now each moment is a new one. Tomarrow I get the leg machine to get back on it so I can recover. Everyone do take care and we all will make it to total recovery. Tashia
