TKR This time I am doing it right and having a blast

Pumpkin, That you so much for telling me about your knee so we could have lots of fun. I really enjoyed it. It good to focus on postive and fun things to get back to normal life. What ever that is? Today my knees are tender and stiff but not bad. Progress is happening. I have good news about my friend. She is out of ICU and is going to make it but she still needs Total hip replacement. She is very tired. I'm not surprised she has been thru a lot and is still in pain. OW. I hope to see her this week and maybe we can start working on pain control. The public van you told me about doesn't do weekends. The time is 8 to 5 and during the week. I also have to make a reservation the day before 2. Thank you so much. Most of my sewing stuff is on weekend and night but you did help me greatly. It was so good to have the party for a week. Should we start a start a party section in the Social Room so those who did know it could have a party and more people could have fun? One of my caregivers is a writer of History. It is so good to have such good educated talk twice a week. My accupunction appointment is this Wed. Hope this work as good as the first. Well I have a class learning a new sewing techique this week. I am so excited. I will have to get some swelling down today so I need to get some ice. Have a good day. 'everyone take care and have a safe day.
 
I have relized that I had a attack of being impatience. June 4th wasn't long ago but I do wish it was in full recover. I still need pain pills which really makes me :gaah: but they are less and less and I am able to do so many more things than the first one. Other than that all is fine. I realized today that no more surgies are waiting for me. I started on this March 2010 and all surgies are over. :yes!: Now I can truly work forward to full recover. :spin: Thats more like it.
 
I keep track of all medication and I look today and I really am cutting down. This is the surgry of this kind I have had. :yay: I have gone 12 hours without meds. :snork: I am thinking about taking a trip. A very short one but getting out of town I need it so. Everyone take care and have a very good week.
 
Good for you, Tashia. I think a little get-away sounds perfect. Go for it!!!
 
:yay: Hope you can get out of town for a few days! You deserve a break from everything!
Great news that you are decreasing you pain medication, means you can drive:bicycle1:.
 
Pumpkin now that I am getting control of my pain, mostly just stinging I feel that I am going to make it. It has been a long 2 and half years. Slowely my life is coming back and being able to make plans. If I could get my anxiety under control I would be so much better. Still spend to much time spent alone. :sick: I will not drive if I don't feel right and has caused trouble between my doctor and me. I missed some appointments and now I can't make appointment without sending a email and then he answer by email. Some times you need to see the doctor. :scratch: I never though not getting the wheel because I don't think its safe will be held against me. :shrug: If I had to do it over I still would not get behind the wheel. I belong to a HMO and it clearly says I need to see the doctor before I see speclists and this problem is standing in the way of me seeing a foot doctor. I never saw this coming.:shrug: He is a excellent doctor and I thought when I went to him I had found my new doctor. I'm old fasion and need to see the doctor before taking medicane because I have had lots of reaction. I really don't know what to do. :scratch: There are so few doctors and because of my insurance I have I have to choose from them. This doesn't help my axiety at all. I really hope this is a misunderstanding and a solution come soon. I have apology so what else can I do? :tada: Life has its twist and turns I guess this is one of them. :rolleyes: Before this he really listen and did so well. What I will have to turn this over to God and let it go right now. If you can settle with a phone call its great but I need to know the doctor is there for me. Well I am getting upset talking so I must stop. :shocked:
Went to class last night and learned how to do a new techinique. :yes!: I think I will like it but its going to take time to get it learned. I have some classes coming up. My car finally has a full tank of gas. :yes!: Now we will see how it does in milage. I sure love to drive it. :yes!: This is the first time I have driven at night for some time. Wow. It felt strange but so freeing. Well that is enough from me. Everyone take care and have a very good week. :puppysmooze: Tashia :bicycle1:
 
I went to have a acupunchture today. Can't spell it but it sure felt good. tonight the knees are tender but not to bad. Also a little stiff. Woke up to cold water. Hadn't one of those in years. It sure wakes you up. I do hope everyone had a good day and tomarrow even better. For those of you who are waiting for a new knee remember each day puts you closer to the day that you can start truly working on a recover to get back your life. Everyone take care. :puppysmooze: Tashia :bicycle1:
 
Feeling pretty good if my head would stop hurting. I started some antibotic for a infection with the ears. I hope this bring down my blood pressure. This recover stuff sure is differcult. With the weekend coming I hope all will have a good weekend and be able to have some fun. Take care. :puppysmooze: Tashia:bicycle1:
 
Today was amazing.:bow: I went to a all day sewing class. :spin: I left around 8:30 and got home around 5:30. What a day. I was able to do the day by just doing what I could. At noon I thought I was in trouble and I needed to go home but I elevated my legs and got a second wind. When I got home I took a short nap and now I am a little tender to say the least. I am a little swollen but not bad. Was able to keep on top of it. Yesterday my doctor told me to start taping off the pain pills even though I had already started. I have to admit it so nice not being in pain I am a little afraid of stop taking them. I don't want to hurt. I did discover I can go somewhere for a whole day. WOW. My blood pressure is a little high, I think its just being anxious but I did tell the doctor about it. Well another day toward a recover that is coming my way. The best thing is to pace myself so I can stay away from pain and get back to doing things in life. I can't believe I was able to do this. Big milestone in my life. It was also so good to sew. Well Saturday is here and I do hope everyone has something planned even if its to have a special tea or be around some special friends. :puppysmooze: Tashia :bicycle1: My ears are a little better today also.
 
Hi there Tash darling...

What a lovely update, so pleased you were able to go sewing with your friends.. I know how much this means to you, and how smart of you to elevate and get over the little hump in the middle of the day... Well don't you honey xxxxx
 
Hi Poppet, How was your day? I just thought I would say HI. Got see the Space Shuttle today. It flew over my town while I was able to see it. WOW what a way to start the weekend. Love, Tashia
 
Pumkin, Got see the shuddle today. It flew over really low and got to see it. That started the day on such a high not. Hope you have a good weekend and enjoy the weather we are so blessed with. Love, Tashia
 
That is amazing Tash... I can just picture it.. I actually worked in the Aussie Space industry way back! Will tell you about it one day :)
 
Tashia,
Glad you were able to see the Shuttle! The photos looked great of it overflying cities.
Leaving today on my first vacation since TKR, going to Chicago, Indiania, and Kentucky. Have been looking forward to this vacation for a long time. Have a good weekend!!
 
Today was a very quite day. I did overdue it this weekend with the sewing. My knees are sore and swollen. Not to bad I think. It has been over 4 months since surgrey and has really ben smooth compared to my other knee and so less pain. I was able to do a weekend, a ruff one . I do think I am having trouble with my Cancer medication. There are times I get so tired of this but in the long run it a small thing. I just wish I could find out what makes it stop working and need adjustment. I have asked if the stress of the surgies effected it and the answer was yes. It is so interesting to see how the whole body works together or doesn't work. For those of you work I hope you have a good week. take care and stay safe. :puppysmooze: Tashia :bicycle1:
 
Today my knee got a A on performance. It did very good today in walking, getting in and out of car and just in general. I really think my knee is heading for full recover. I was so surprised how strong it was today. It really likes walking however it still is swollen a little from this weekend but It is only a young knee needing all the love it can have. It hasn't gotten a name yet but it has high hopes it will have one soon and so is the other knee. The hip is also wanting one too. I have to admit I am having trouble coming up with names. I saw my doctor today and is starting to get me off my meds. He also thinks my Cancer medication may of stop working so blood test tomarrow. As long as I stay Cancer clean I have it made and I will put up with inconvince. I can't spell oh well thats the way it goes. I started taking my herbs again tonight. My doctor gave me the ok so it will help with it all I'm sure. I do hope everyone had a good day and will have a better one tomarrow. Stay safe and dry in Europe. I understand its raining over there. take care. :puppysmooze: Tashia :bicycle1:
 
Today is a good day. Got lots of things done today. My pain medicane is not working the best. I need to be more attention. It wore off and I am very tender. I need to start paying more attention. I am starting to use less and maybe that is NOT a good idea. I want to drive and I think I am not taking my medication like I should. I getting into being unpatience again. That is NOT good. :cry:Well I have had my good cry and now I must get my pain under control. I should say when I say pain. I mean it hurts around 3 not in the high range. I still know that is not good. I do hope everyone is having a good day and its ok to confused about how much pain medication should be taking. Everyone do take care and do have a good day. :bicycle1: Tashia off trying to stay on the trail of recover.
 
I got the results from my blood tests and it nots good. Something is going on with the Cancer medication. Its not working at all. Really scared.
