[Campervan]

Hi Tashia, great to read that you're getting stronger and doing the things you enjoy. Good luck finding a cruise that you want to do. Take care of yourself.

It's not a 'carved in stone' issue. Surgeons do what they feel is appropriate in their own practice.

I just had a unbeilable day. I went to a Quilt Show and had a blast. I was able to keep up with the people I went with and I did have to sit down and when I got I had no trouble with no pain. WOW Now this is more like it. I came home and had lunch then went down for a nap. Now the nap was great and now I am doing more washing but sitting down while wash is doing its thing. I found some new ideas for a quilts and make for quilt. Also some flowers that are to made out of fabric its so clever I don't know why I didn't think of it. Well the women was very smart and clever I hope her business does well. The show had some home made Christmas gift so not only did I see the show my Christmas Shopping is now done. Didn't expect that at all. All home made by very clever people. My feet are doing so much better now that I found some exercise by accident. I do it whenever I think of it and the result is pretty much pain free. Its just moving all the toes up and down. Thats it, It that simple. The swelling has gone down and the toes are more limber. Every little bit works for the good. Tonight is really cold and I have the heater really going. Tomarrow I will have to go out and do some food shopping because Monday is a important day with a day to celebrate all those who serve in the ARMED Forces in the US which I always celebrate. So I need to get all the things in order for that day. Will have to get to bed early tonight so I can get everything done and still have time for a nap. Everyone take care and please stay safe. For those who have served. Thank You!!!! Tashia

Janet and robynhood, thank you for coming to my site. I have had the most amazing day yesterday and today I am afraid I am paying for it. My hip and my knees are swollen and sore. But to know that I can have days like that now is so wonderful and really cheer the spirit. Today is definetly a down day. Tonight I will probably have a pizza delivered for dinner. Watch a movie or two and heating pads. Tomarrow is a very special for me so I must rest for it. Will have to make sure I take medicane on a schedule today. We had frost last night still cold. Everyone do take care and stay safe. Also make sure you have some fun even if its watching a funny movie. Tashia

Today was a good day. Got to go a Thanksgiving dinner. It was very good. Good to get again and got to have laughs. Found out that I still have to pace myself. Got very tired and didn't get to the guild meeting. So if I am going to do something at night I must take a easy during the day. I find that I still must be tired. I am having trouble with words coming out so I will write more later. Everybody take care and have a good tomarrow. Tashia

 

[tashia]

I think I got too tired yesterday. Wanted to do the guild but was too tired. Been having very good week but getting tired is my problem. Feel very stressed. The heater is fixed so it is quite. Need to get to bed. Tashia

 

[Pumpkin]

Hope you got some rest and have more energy today.

Punpkin, Got to sleep like a baby. Went to bed early and sleep thru the whole night. It was great. I don't know if I am coming down with something. A llittle off base but do feel better now. Will take a easy tomarrow also. With a storm moving in I don't plan doing much. I do have sewing this weekend so plan on going unless I don't feel well. I also have a class on Sunday so we will see. Didn't plan this much activity but it just came out this way. I finally head from my Brother in law. He just said, he was home. Try to get him this weekend to find out about his house. If he living in it, it must of not gotten condemded. What a mess. Next week is Thanksgiving not ready for it. It seems to come faster every year. Unforently I don't have anything planned. Well I see I can't spell again. Thats not new. Hope to wash my car this weekend. We need the rain. Everybody do take care if you are going to travel. Have a good time and then come home safe. Tashia

 

[tashia]

We got the rain today and it washed my car so I don't have to. Went for a short drive to see how it drives in the rain. Took a easy today. My knee was hurting a little but not bad. My hip that hasn't had the replacement was hurting today, if it continues to hurt I will get it checked out. Heard from my Brother in law, just his roof was hurt. The rest of the house is ok. Thank Goodness. I guess things are getting back to normal what ever that is. I hope that everyone who is on the road this weekend be careful and get home safe. Take care Tashia

 

[tashia]

Thanks Pumpkin, How's the weather there. We are getting lots of rain here. It washed my car and did a great job. My hip that needs a replacement is horible. I will have to go and get a shot this week or message to calm it down. Its not bad enough for replacement yet. this is brusisits I think. I sure hope so. Tashia

 

[Pumpkin]

Tashia,
Raining cats and dogs here, at least there is no wind. My knee is a little irritated so I am going to the warm water pool at the Gym. Glad to hear your familys roof is all that happened.

 

[tashia]

Well I eased the whole thing I was going to post so do again. After a night of sewing I find that I need to lay low pretty much the whole day. I could push but I would find that I would hurt and feel horrible. I must stop trying to put two days in a row because my body just won't do it. I hope everybody has a good week and for those who do travel please be careful and arrive home safe. take care . Tashia

 

[tashia]

Today was a very low day with sleeping as I said before. Tonight I am feeling much better. Now I am ready to do some errands or do some sewing. Everybody please have a good week . Tashia

 

[tashia]

Today I woke up in a very good mood but by this afternoon I felt down. I didn't go anywhere which is a no, no and I know it but I did it. I am eating much better and did start on a pattern for a Serviceman. I think he or she will like it and do hope that they understand that I thank them for the service and I really mean it. I have been dealing with not feeling well for so long that I'm not sure where to start. The problem I have is I still take medication and so I know I should not drive much. This really does hold me back. I know the day will come where I won't need it but to stay postive in the mean time is ruff. I also find that the sewing buddies don't ask me to join them because I might get tired a have to leave. If I have to leave so what. Its not a big deal. I have often wondered if they think I am trying to get out of work. I do what I can. I guess I trying to decide what to do to get back in the world. All of my sewing persons are married and don't understand that if I need something done, it got to be me. I don't have someone to fix my every day stuff like flat tires. I am not trying to show them up when I fix it. I'm not sure were I am going with this. I just frustated right now. Been a long day. Everyone do take care when you are travel and do stay safe. Tashia

 

[tashia]

Had a message today and it felt so good. This is the first one since last April. I knew I have been in pain but never did I think that I was hurting so bad I didn't even want a message. After the message I felt like crying becasue it felt so good. In couple of spots it really hurt but was able to still get it. I couldn't belive how tight I was. But now I will try to get one every other week If I can and be able. I am a member of a message business and I had 7 messages waiting for me. This will be used up in a couple of months. I did find that I needed to have a new person because the one I used was no longer there. She worked on my back and arms. Now it will even be better. I got in touch just how hard this has been. It started in 2010 and now almost three years later I have come so far. I also realise I went into a shell so I could survire. The New Year will mean so much to me. All this needs to be put in the past. I have two new knees and one hip to start my new life. With new start I have so many new friends here and I will stay in touch with everybody. I plan to stay here to help surport those of you who have to walk thru this. Some will fly thru and some won't and surport is needed. My right knee is almost pain free most of the time and the other knee is getting there. I hope with the New Year Coming we all can celebrate a new life together. Please take care and stay safe. Tashia
