Good Morning everyone!

Hi @tiredwife I've been lurking around your thread for a while. Wow, you two have a lot going on right now. I have to say your husband is doing so very well with his walking. I'm sorry to hear about his friend that's really sad to happen to a young man with a family. I hope the cortisone shots work for you, they certainly did for my husband.

Please take care both of you. You make a great team!

Love Nana moon 27 xxxx

@Nana moon 27 Thank you and welcome to our thread. We are trying to walk every day and he says it is really helping his knees.

 

[Nana moon 27]

@tiredwife unfortunately I will not be having a spinal. My OS prefers general anesthesia. It is a smooth a small price to pay as I love my OS. I use benefiber now because of the low carb diet so I will continue that and have added prunes to my shopping list just in case. Glad you enjoyed your lunch and walk. Being from south Texas I love barbeque. I am jealous of your fire. We had our ac on today. Our fireplace is more for decoration as it only gets used a few times a year.

@tiredwife Jackie. Its another very

day here I would like to send it all to you, since you like it I got a good night sleep feel like it will be a day. I have to go help hubby do the last mow job of the season and then get equipment ready for as I don't do that or so have a good day will be on later

 

[tiredwife]

@madinana I slept pretty good myself! Hubby is on Ambien and starting to sleep better. It is still chilly here today, but at least the sun is shinning. We need to replace a part on our snow blower soon. Keep warm!

Everyone Good Morning!

Haven't put up a recent photo of hubby's knees. Ltkr 18 1/2 weeks, Rtkr 8 1/2 weeks.

just realized the flash makes the scars look redder than they really are.

 

[madinana]

@tiredwife Is one incision longer than the other also the right on looks deep in to his thigh no wonder it has been bothering him. They really look good I am read a few threads my hand are frozen from mowing I had gloves on and scarf did I say its

 

[tiredwife]

@madinana he had his ankles crossed. They are the same length, but one start a little higher but ends sooner than the other. Don't know why. One is a little more to the side than the other. They don't really look as red in real life it's just the flash.

@tiredwife I hear my knee clunking a lot does that go away and i still have a spot with no feeling, does Steve have any of that

 

[tiredwife]

@madinana His knee has clunked and popped some but it is going away the more we walk. It will go away after some time. He still has numb areas. That is just areas where the nerves were damaged and it takes awhile for them to heal back.

 

[madinana]

@tiredwife this is what I looked like mowing

and this is for you

and returning it to you

 

[tiredwife]

@madinana Has your nose stopped dripping yet? I don't usually drink coffee, but I did have a cappuccino after walking today.

 

[madinana]

@tiredwife yes but it still is cold, look like Rudolph the reindeer and my internet keep knocking me off the darn internet where did you go?

 

[tiredwife]

@madinana Were did I go? to walk or the cappuccino? We walk in the campground (State park, 1 mile from our house) the cappuccino is from Casey's our local gas station.

[tiredwife]
