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

Well, Tashia, some cats will get in the Christmas tree, some will just curl up under it, and others will pretty much ignore it. You won't know until you have the cat in the house with the tree. But if you take the time, you can train them to leave it alone.
 
Tashia, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here's a few thousand words for you!

And this was my avatar on Christian Forums. They had lots of stuff you could choose to put together to create your own little figure and this was mine. Cute, isn't she? My username there is flaglady!

My daughters cat, Harvey, climbed the tree for years. The tree would shake a bit and a little face would peer out near the top of the tree. I thought tigger would climb the tree but he just took decorations down and batted them around the house!
 
Thank you two so much. A good laugh is worth so much and to know that people care about you is worth everything in the world. Josephine and bottomshollow. I am a little down today, No dought the rollercoaster I have been on this last week. I have my meds and trying to get the pain in check. The knees are little score and so is my mouth. But so much better. I figrue it will be a couple days more before I get it worked out. I didn't go to sewing I just didn't need the noise. I still need to be quite and rest. I can't believe how much sleep I have been doing. My naps are hours long which is ok because I have had surgrey again with the tooth. Will it every end? The foot is also better and so is the shoulder. At least the doctor now does respect me and we both know where we both are coming from. That journal really saved me. Josephine Have you every talked about keeping a journal for the medicane. The time you take it and how you feel for every day you take it? I would also write how I felt and any side effects. That way the doctor knows whats going on. I started doing it when I did search and rescue. Thank God I can sleep without pain. Everyone do take care be careful with all the storms coming this weekend. Tashia
 
nmscienceteacher Oh I completely forgot about the decorations. I had a friend that had a cat and would tie the tree upside down from the celing. Looked funny but it worked for her. :heehee: Pets are so wonderful. I still think of the cat I saw on the leash. It hated it so. :snork: Only saw it once. We do have rattlesnakes here so a cat would be safer to keep indoors.
 
My pain level is getting better. I am about to take my morning dose. Mouth sore but knees are better. Foot not hurting nor is my shoulder. It is a great day. Everyone take care. Tashia

For medications? Oh sure! I have a little hand-held computery organiser (not one of the modern tablets!) and still have the log of my medications taken after my TKR. Right from the very first hit on the button of the morphine pump! From then until about 12 weeks later. I shall use it for reference when I get the other one done! But I only logged the time and dose.
 
Tashia,
I hope you are having a good day today. Keeping a record of your medications is a great idea. I am sure there are some apps out there for smart phones, other devices, and pen and paper for the rest of us.
I used your idea to keep track of medications, making clear to me my side effects were not diminishing, but were getting worse from the neurontin. :thankyou:
 
Today started ruff but got so much better. My stiches in my mouth really bothered me this morning and then it got better so did the day. My caregiver came today and helped me to get focused and helped me with my sewing. the day was so warm and beautuful. I found out my stiches are coming out next week. This seems to be really a long time. It will be almost three weeks. I guess it was really a mess. My knees are getting better. I think the tooth was poisoning my whole system. What a mess. I can't believe how hungrey I have been and be able to eat. WOW I can't remember food tasting so good. My stomach is also getting better. Foot tender but not surprised because of the walking. tomarrow I will take a easy but still do some things in the sewing room. By a nap is a must of course. Everyone take care also a drive hopefully will happen. Everyone do take care and be careful with the storms coming your way. Tashia
 
I am really tired after I have lunch I am going to take a nap. I do have some things I need to do but I don't know if I will do it. While cleaning out my sewing room I found so many net fabric. I have forgotten them. Now to get my life together. I really feel I have lots so much confience. I had to just for today for so long I have a problem looking for the future. I have been in cris for so long when I have a good day I almost don't what to do. I look for the day that all the surgies are done and all I have to do is decided what I eat today and what to do with my new found friend (dog). I feel I am not the only one who is having this happen to them. We will make it. take care. Tashia.
 
Today was such a warm day, it was GREAT. My caregiver took me for a ride and we went to a store I haven't been in months. It's in a neighborhood that I don't like going into this neighborhood. Found what I was looking for. Got more done last night and took a nap. My knees are sore so I must take a easy and ice them. I know its been a almost nine months and the knees are getting stronger. Monday I see the OS Assitence and see what they have to say about them and have them look at the other hip. to say that I am concerned is under statements. I want them to say everything is perfect but the fact that I have pain, I am deep down scared. My mouth does feel better today. Its on the mend I hope and pray. Everyone take care and do stay safe.

Glad you are feeling better Tashia. Felt so sorry for you with all that dental work on top of your recovery. Since the weather is getting warmer here and we even had a little sun in the UK I want to charge ahead and have a good spring clean but I also know you can only do so much and then rest for a day. Lessons learnt. Hope it goes OK when you have the stitches out. It does seem a long time dosent it. Keep well and sending you hugs :friends:
 
Tashia,
Glad you are able to wnjoy the warm weather, and get out for drive. I hope you get a good report at the OS on Monday, and that your hip settles down and feels better. Enjoy your sewing, and good weather,
 
Pat and Pumpkin, Thank you so much for coming over and saying HI; It makes me feel so good to have such good friends. My mouth feels good and then it gets on my nerve. I will be so glad when the stiches are out. They will been in over three weeks. Thats quite a while. One good thing food is tasting so good and my stomach is calming down so it is possible that in a couple of weeks I can stop taking so many stomach pills. The weather has been so great and the trees are blooming. Its so great to see such beautiful plants. Trying to take a easy tonight. I have noticed that since the tooth is gone I have felt so much better is spirit and energy level. That is so great. Tomorrow is going to be another great weather day. So for those of you that are having bad weather, I will go outside and get some sun for you. :heehee: Please take care Tashia
 
Feeling really down today. Very sad. But my mouth is better I guess.
 
Please try to get out tomorrow for some sun if you can. Glad your mouth is feeling better.:SUNsmile:
 
Tasha way to go. You offer so much support to others and continue to be an inspiration. I am so very happy that things are going well for you. :yay:
 
Glad2bhear, I think this site has a little person running around and making us spell wrong. :loll: He sure loves me. :heehee: Don't worry if you spell wrong. We all understand. Tashia
