[Elle11]

Yes, pace yourself, Tashia!! Hope your knee did not swell up with the doctor's visit.
You have a Happy 4th of July!
Warm regards!

 

[tashia]

Boy that was close. My knee did swell but I was able to get it back down. Thank goodness. Try to find all the stuff I brought home from the hospital and file it. Couldn't find my most important papers. I know they are here somewhere. I am feeling more alert and still trying not to overdue. But it is really hard when you are starting to feel good. Well I need to eat so later. Everyone have a very good July 4 But a very safe one. Tashia

Good to hear you are doing well and have recovered from your OS visit.

Hi Tashia, just wanted to wish you a happy 4th. It's good to hear you got out to the store and are having some good days with your new knee. You're doing great and I'm sending you positive thoughts for many more good days!

 

[tashia]

Today was a good day after I saw the doctor. We talked about medication and the knee. Then PT came and my knee is now at 90, So things are good. Tashia

 

[Poppet]

Oh Tash, what wonderful news, I am so thrilled for you that you have come through this surgery so well - good for you honey

 

[tashia]

I just realized that since Sept when I had my hip done, I have to think I am full recovered from the hip. I no longer worry about it. It just is. Oh maybe its tender at times but now I don't even think of it. YES I HAVE A HIP THAT DOESN'T HURT MOST OF THE TIME. WOW. TashiaI think I made it.

Tash, thanks for being a dear and always dropping by my thread. So glad to hear the hip is going so well, now the knee and you will be good as new, maybe better. Any sewing lately?

 

[Anniepops]

Thanks for dropping by. Doing it Right is so much easier than going against the flow. The knee is going to win so why fight it. Every once in a while my right knee which was done first is a pain. But know that I have both knees done it seems to be so much easier. Both are starting to pull the weight they want to pull. Great news. I do still have some nerve damage in my right leg. I will wait till my other leg is better before I will get it checked. Since it is nerve damage, I really don't know what you can do for it. I was told once the nerve is damage is done however having said that I hurt my shoulder and did major nerve damage and in time I found that the nerves built a new way around the injures area and now I have feeling so never under estimate the body. It is amazing. Well I am waiting for my daughter to arrive with my new car. I hope everything is ok. Haven knows I have been waiting long enough for it. Next week I will cleared from the doctor and look out. Here I come. Well thats enough from me right now. Oh. I have decided my birthday is coming up in August and I can't think of a better present that a rescure dog. Everyone take care because Mother Nature is really doing her work, good or bad. Stay safe. Tashia

Glad to hear you are doing well, and your new car is on the way!

 

[tashia]

Today was a warm day and a very good one. Got my car finally, now I need to learn how to use it. Had a wonderful day with my daughter and her husband. Well got to get thing done for tomarrow. Everyone take care. Tashia

 

[tashia]

Today was warm and got to take a easy so knee can have a rest. My hips are doing great. The one hip that hasn't been replaced yet was a little tender last night. but feels better today. I hope it can settle down and not need surgrey for a while. In the last 2 and half years I have had three big surgies and body has informed it doen't need more for a while. Doing it right is the only way to recover without lots of pain is the way to go. Tashia

 

[Poppet]

Hey Tash

Great to catch up with you and hear all is going well with your knee. I can imagine that second hip may be a bit sore as you start walking different again.

Sorry, you are going through so much heat, it is still freezing here

 

[tashia]

I thought that I did real good with this week. But I did find I may of overdid it a little. Not to bad. It is doing great, this just takes time. Tried to back off the medicane. Found that I still need them. That is disappointing. But can't seem to chance it. Be very glad I have been able to have it and so far a execellent recover. Tashia

You are such a strong, resilient person and such a role model for those of us going through difficult times.

I'm hoping you will someday be able to ride the bike like your emoticon above!

Dorothy

 

[tashia]

Thank you Dorothy, It really would be exciting to be able to ride like that again. It so great to have people point things like that out, Now I have something else to look forward to.
I do have exciting news to share. My Cancer medication is starting to work again so pretty soon my emotions will start getting better. I find that so cool. I am starting to sleep a whole six hours without waking for pain pills. When I do wake up I am a little score. Then I take the pills and I become pretty much pain free. I do know I am improving because I was tired and went to bed not realizing I wasn't using my walker from the bathroom to the bedroom. So the next morning I had to go and get it out of the bathroom. I felt pretty stabble and not to score because my medication had worn off. Just doing that I know I am moving in the right direction. I need to say this to all of you that are going thru this for the first time. PLEASE DON'T RUSH IT. You will get tired of going slow but it is so worth it. Do not Push. I pushed the first time and paid so dearly for it. This time I am doing it Right and having a Blast. Everyone take care and have a wonderful weekend. Tashia

How is your new car? Are you pleased with it? I do hope so. It will be great for you to get behind the wheel again. Hope the heat isn't getting to you too much.
