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

I think I have my pain back under control. To think that this time last year I was in so much pain waiting for surgrey. Thank goodness it was so great. Now I can walk. The only complate if there is one, is being stiff after siting for a while. If its cold also its tender. The right one hardly ever hurts. Its over two years old. :happydance:When it gets warm I expect to be driving and swimming like I did before. I will have my life back. Wow Whee. What a way to go. I hope to be able to climb stairs like I use in no time. Everyone take care and do have a safe New Year. Tashia
 
So nice to hear you feeling so optimistic ! Hope the next year just keeps getting better and better ! :SUNsmile:

Thanks Tashia - Looks like you are well on the way to living without pain, the best gift of all ! Happy New Year !
 
Randi, For some reason I am having to get back on my regular pain schedule. I think its the very cold weather. And last night I got very upset with my stomach. So for a while I am going to be posting to find out what I am doing wrong. Take care. Tashia
 
Got to drive today. It felt so good and my knees are better even thru its cold. Took pain pills at 9:30 a.m. Now I take again at 8. We will see if this work for a couple days. Had a active day. Knees are tender thats all. Looking forward to warm weather.
 
Tashia,
Glad you are getting back to driving. Beautiful day to enjoy! I hope your knees are feeling better, and your new schedule helps.
 
Yes, I can't wait for warmer weather (sorry skigirl and BJ). The cold weather makes my knee ache; something my OS mentioned might happen the first winter post-op.

Don't know what I would do if I couldn't drive. My life would be so much more unbelievably difficult; glad I don't have to worry about it. Very happy you get to drive now!!

Good to hear you are doing well! Very cool!! Oh, wait, I mean very warm, :loll: yes, think warm thoughts and spring will be here soon!
 
Tonight is a very cold night and my knees are not to happy. :hissy: they would like the weather around 70s. Because they aren't getting their way, they are stiff and a little tender.:umm: Hoping that this will get what they want.:rotfl: They have been told that they will be taken care off and most of all kept warm which does make them:wink:. If the sun is out they will get to play :happydance: and if it rains they will have to find something to do to make sure they stay warm. :shocked: There mother is tired and would like to bed and rest. :snork: So we all are going to bed to get a nap or a night sleep. :sleep::sleep::sleep:
 
This New year has been good. My knees are feeling pretty good. When I started having all this work done I felt I had nothing to lose. Now I won. My hip is great, in fact I hardly even think about them which is so cool. I do hope everyone who gets the knees done you get to a least to where I am. I still can't bend them back all the way but I don't care. I can kneel when I need to. I can drive for a couple of hours. By the time the warm weather is here it will even be better. I will be able to go the beech and ocean. Take a day at a time. And you will get there. Take care. Tashia
 
The knees are having a fit. Its cold and they want to be warm.:gaah: So they got the hip to join them to hurt. So I am doing pain control. :umm: Feeling better but did have a good :cry:. Not sure whats going on I think I have been hurting and needed pain control and have gotten very tired. I guess I will have to wait till after the cold spell to cut down more on the medicane. :tantrum: The sun didn't come out today, we had fog all day. :sigh: I hope the sun comes out tomarrow. Well I have to eat. Everyone take care. Poppet you have a good day. Tashia
 
tashia do you have some heat packs hon or a hot water bottle (wrapped) you can pop on your knee and hip... Heat works wonders.. So sorry you are hurting babe :( - not fair ..
 
Poppet I will after I eat. The pain pills kick in so I feel better emotional. Been washing all day. :heehee: lol Tashia
 
tashia... You have caught my bug... I am still washing, but I seem to have run out of things to wash now... :rotfl:

The extra exercise when you are cold and perhaps stiff will hurt.. rug up honey :)
 
Sorry to hear you are having pain, the fog just cuts :tantrum: through your clothes Brrrrr! Hope those pain pill kick in asap! I have a head cold, yuck, just glad I cannot pass it to you from here.
Hoping for a better day tomorrow. :)
 
Pumpkin, the cold does just cut through you. Its so hard to get warm. The pills are helping now I will get some herbs pack and warm them. that should take care of it.
 
Poppet I have one more and that will be done in the morning. My caregiver is coming tomarrow and we are going to do the sewing room. I have so many cute design to do. I have to get the computer set up first :headbang: . then I can start making them. I have sewing this weekend if its not to cold. I have so many UFO to do. I am so close to finishing them I just need to get motivated. And I am really having trouble with that. The computer I have to use is a PC. It hasn't been connected to the internet yet. Its brand new. There is a class next month on the software for the design but I have to have connected by then. I wish i could use my Apple but that is the way it goes. The class is a month away so I will have it ready by then. With all the crazy weather I want everyone to be careful and take care. lol Tashia
 
Pumpkln How are you feeling? I hope you are feeling better. Nothing like having a cold to make the day a little ruff. I hope you get better very soon. Take care Tashia
