Tashia,
Glad to hear you are getting out more. The weather here colder, but that is nothing compared to the East.
Enjoy your cup of tea,

Today I got out but not before I got a email from my doctor telling me he is concerned that I am taking too much. I have told the doctor he can look at this journel at any time. I am starting to write what I did that day or what I was doing when I hurt. I pretty much been doing this all along. Last night I listened to Christmas Music and it made me feel happy. This has been a ruff year but a good one. A lot has happened and for the good in all accounts. It doesn't seem to be ready for that time of year but it is. Everyone take care and do be careful. The storm is gone but times are still very ruff so please be careful. Tashia

Today started with me having a little nerves. However GREAT NEWS Cancer medication is at the right number. Its woking again. Has helped depression a lot. YES> I have to admit it was getting very scary. It hasn't been at the right level for over four months. Now for down time. I will get another test in December to make sure I am still Cancer clean. The medication I take for it keep it from growing so I can stay Cancer clean. So all my test since 2006 says I am Cancer clean. I know this confusing but it just is. What a wonderful way to start November. Now for getting my knees in full recover. They are tender when the medicane wears off but nothing like before. I can walk all over the groecery store and waking with a friend. I know this is very slow but in the long run who caries. The pain before was horrible and I really don't know if I could of lived with it. But as everyone did on this site, mustered the strength to have it done and now have a new life and one that has lots and lots of hope. Everyone take care and do stay safe. Tashia

Great report Tashia! I'm so happy to hear that your cancer meds are at the right number again. And the big part, that you're cancer clean! Plus your new knee is allowing you to be more mobile, which is what we all want. Now you can move forward and start enjoying yourself more. A rough year, yes, but a very productive year as well!

Stay well my friend!

[tashia]

Thanks you all for coming to my sight. It such a beautiful day, the leaves are all turned to there Fall colors. Been awful tired can't fiquare out why. I know that my blood pressure is up so something not right. I may have too much Cancer medication in me now. Trying to find balance is sometimes but its all worth it. With the weather so great I am going out for drivel See ya later. Tashia

 

[Janet2012]

Tashia, that's great that you continue to be free of cancer and that your meds are working for you! I'm happy for you!

I think a storm must be moving in because I am sore tonight. Knees,feet and even my back which is very rare. I just want to go to bed and sleep and forget the world. It would be neat to curl up with a dog I have to admit. I need a maid this week so all I have to do is sleep and eat when and what I want. I know that is not possible but it would be nice. And someone to get the apartment all done and someone to take me to my meassage place so I could have a meassage. I'm not asking much am I? Tomarrow I am going out for my task that I do every four year. Now to get ready for the ride. Need to get to bed early. Everyone do take care and do be safe. Please stay warm in the East. I know is cold and scary but you will make it. I will be thinking of you and give you all the strength I can give. Tashia

 

[tashia]

Tonight I am sore but not too bad. Tried to take a nap but unfortally I got woke up and couldn't go back to sleep. I will do dought go to sleep early because of it. Did some house cleaning which felt good but maybe over did it. With the storm coming in I hope everyone will stay safe and dry. take care. Tashia

 

[Jacky48]

Tashia, do get plenty of rest my friend and lay down and sleep when your body begs for it. House cleaning is not a priority when your body wants rest. And wanting to get to your massage is not asking for too much, you deserve it and more!

Please stay well and positive my friend!

 

[tashia]

Jacky48, the only time I do house cleaning is when I can't take the mess any longer. Its last on my to do list. I do need to get back to my massages. I think now that I am starting to feel better I will be able to manage time better. Take care of those two new knees. You know kids they love to try to get into trouble if they aren't watched. Take care and stay safe my friend. Tashia

 

[robynhood]

So pleased to hear your good news Tashia. Hope you continue to get better and better. Take care of those knees and hopefully get the massages too. starting to get cold over here in the UK too and it always shows in your poor old joints. You Take Care x x

 

[tashia]

robynhood, You are so right about the cold weather and joints. I hope this finds you well and your new treating you well. I like the Fall because of not to cold and not too hot. Take care and do find time for fun. Tashia

 

[tashia]

Now that I am on a regular schedule on pain medication, I feel so much better. I am also eating much better and do feel more postive. Had a very good sleep so ready for the day. We are surpose to have a storm moving in and the temputure is to drop. I hope to get some driving in today. I do hope that everyone does have a good day and do something fun. I just noticed that my knee is a little swollen so I need to take a easy today. Everyone take care. Tashia

 

[tashia]

I ended up going out today and went for a drive also. The weather was great. I get tired without much warning. So each time I drive I will drive further if I feel conforable with it. Before the surgrey I had a close call with getting too tired and in pain and it still very much in my mind. I am still trying to use up my first tank of gas on my new car. I have driven over 400 miles. That not much as for miles since everything is so much further than I thought. I will get over it. Everyone do take care and stay safe. Tashia

 

[tashia]

Last night was special. I found myself doing the sewing room with lot of strength in my knees. They felt so good. I felt that i did another big step. My knees haven't felt this normal in so many years. Today they are sore but not bad. I was able to go to a sewing shop and then out to lunch. Wow what a wonderful day. I went to pick up my mail and got a very good surprise. A book on cruise ships. It rates all the ships that go thou out the world. Any body ready for a cruise? I have used this book before and it was quite accurate on the ratting scale. It feels so good to know that with all the surgies I am now ready to back to my traveling and sewing. My old life before the joints wore out is coming back. Wow. Everyone do take care and be careful with all the storms around. Stay safe. Tashia

 

[tashia]

I have been reading other people posts and notice that you get a check up with your surgeon 6 months and a year. Mime let me go at six weeks and not to plan to see me again. I will have to check on this. But I haven't been to him since 6 weeks. Tashia

 

[Pumpkin]

Tashia,
Happy to read how much better you are doing. Sewing, driving, looking over cruises, your life is great! I shopped today for two hours, a real improvement for me. Still ended up shopping on line.
Wishing you continued healing.

Tashia I am glad you are doing so well and knees starting to feel normal. I think I would want to see my OS again. I know my doctor has scheduled times you go back and have x-rays. I think others have mentioned scheduled visits such as yearly at some point. Maybe you should call his office and see if that is still his policy. I would go back whether he recommends that or not, or see another OS for follow-up. I hope our moderator will chime in here! Josephine?
