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

Hi Tashia,
Lets hope it does not rain today, we have our flag flying today.
Happy to hear you are able to start working on your quilts after such a long time, it must feel great when you are able to give them to soldiers.
Hope you have a great day, I will look for you on the bike path this afternoon.
 
Do you ever do quilts for Etsy or other type of online store?
 
1ELISEA, I haven't but that is not saying I won't in the furture. Right now I am getting ready to start making Quilts for the wounded. Their are so many coming back wounded or needed to be thanked. My other quilts I am not sure what I am going to do with them. I believe that every child should have a quilt so I am thinking about the kids that have been hurt by Mother Nature. A lot of my quilts have gone to the Midwest. Thank you for asking. Tashia
 
I am so out of it today. I really did a lot of work yesterday and today I am really tired. I have muscle that are sore because they haven't used in some time. It feel good to be able to have that much energy. I am even stiff but not sore. No dought I will go to bed early. Tashia
 
Hope you have a good sleep tonight, and feel rested. It is good to hear you can do so much more now.
 
Pumpkln, It does feel great, doesn't it. This is the week I start looking for a dog. I did hear of a group that has older dog to be taken care of for free for senior citzens. The dogs are 10 and older. They pay for the medical bills and I would have to do is surply the love and food. The thing is 10 is so old and if the dog needs special care I won't be able to travel like I want to. So I have decided to use it as a back up. I would like a younger dog I don't feel I want to stay home any more than I have to. I have been home bound for over three years and now I want to play and travel with a dog and have a blast. I sure you know what I mean. :yay: I already have more freedom than I have had since by battle with Cancer. I started to see the finish line its sill up there but I can see some it. :spin: Take care and do have lots of fun. Tashia
 
WOW did I have a good day. Spent the day going to fabric stores and having a hambuger for lunch. Then came home and sleep for three hours. My knees were sore when I woke up but are ok now. Didn't find any dogs today but the week is still young. When God wants me to have a dog I will find it and it will find me. Everyone do take care with the weather the way it is and do stay safe. Tashia
 
Been very busy with sewing room and looking for a dog. Haven't found a dog yet but when it ready we will find each other. In the mintime I will work with my sewing and driving and having and having a blast. This weekend is going to be in the 100s so will stay inside. I really don't like heat that well so sewing it will be. Or talking on the phone and staying inside. There also going to be a big thing in town and lots and lots of people will be in town and I don't want to drive in traffic either. Everyone do take care with all the weather out there. Tashia
 
Can you believe this its 4:00 in the afternoon and my day is just starting. I was so tired I stayed in bed until I wanted to get up. I have had lunch and now my day has become. Running around all week and working on my sewing room was a wonderful thing I now can do. My knees are a little stiff, thats all. Even my feet are a little tender but that is ok. Today is very warm so why should I go out there and get hot. I still have stuff to do inside so I won't get bored. I will watch a movie tonight so that the knees and the feet can rest. I am so happy to be were I am. I dreamed of a dog last night so we will see. Life is so great right now. It isn't perfect but its so much better than its been in years. Not one second do I regreat having it done. My legs and feet are where they are surpose to be. The weekend is here and I hope that everyone gets to do something that is fun even if its watching a funny movie. Everyone do take care and do stay safe. Tashia.
 
Tashia,
Glad you had a good rest today, and are ready to sew, watch a movie, or do what ever you want!! It has been a long time, lots of patience, and hard work to get where you are today!:happydance:
Congratulations! :cheers: and cheers. (those are any type of milkshake you like)
 
Yesterday was a very good, I didn't do much and enjoyed just doing nothing. Today I have been in the sewing room most of the afternoon and evening. I did lots of filing done and now that it for that. its good to have some engery now. Last night I had a good sleep which I know I have now without even thinking about it. It was warm today and stayed inside all day. Tomorrow I will have to get out. Pumpkln, we will have to have milkshake on the internet maybe tomorrow. We didn't get 100 and it surpose to be cooler tomorrow. Hope to see you on the trail. Take care Tashia
 
Your sewing room sounds so nice. I want to spend some of my recovery time making things for my granddaughter.
 
fiberlady, I agree 100%. What fun. My sewing room is the Master Bedroom in the apartment. The master closet is were I put my sash. I have it fixed so I can have two people over for sewing. Take care and have fun. Tashia
 
Its Party time, It is one year from my knee getting its replacement. Yesterday I went to sewing store and did lots of business done, then went out and ate the paid rent then home. I found the heat didn't like me much and my hip decided to hurt. Also my whole right leg. I guess it was to reming me that I still need to watch my pace and make sure I don't overdue it. Remember today is PARTY TIME. I WELCOME everyone to the site. I hope my friend from New Zeland will bring that wonderful cake. I will have plenty of food and water. It is warm so we will have to be careful when dancing. Everyone take care with all the weather being ruff. Tashia
 
Happy Anniversary for your knee Tashia. One year is good to celebrate. Hope you have a wonderful day but not too much dancing just in case. Its lovely you have come so far with 2 TKRs a THR and cancer survivor. You truly are an inspiration and deserve everything you are getting now. All you need now is the little dog to complete things. Sending you warmest wishes and hugs for a happy day.
 
Today was a good day. Got some new shoes. Also went and got some stuff for making a quilt that I wanted to make for years. This is really exciting. I found the pattern a week ago and now have the batting. I just need to do some cutting and I am really to go. Life is exciting when you feel good and have enegry. I still have some pain but it is so less than before. I feel that I am going down on the other side of the hill from all the replacements. Now I have lots of plans and are putting them in motion. I do hope that all of you get to have this happen to you. Have fun and do stay safe. Tashia
 
Hi Tashia, Happy Anniversary! :) I'm not much ahead of you, my left knee was 1 year old on 5/31, the left one was a year old on 2/6. The doctor was very happy at my last check up and I must say, so am I. I put off having them done till I was pretty much house bound and now I can do whatever I want. A few aches and pains now and then but nothing compared to before.
I love the picture of your dog. I had a dog that looked just like that, her name was Daisy. She was part Lhasa Apso and part ?. They could have been twins.
I'm glad you're feeling so good and getting to do the things you like to do. I wish I could quilt. I have 2 quilts my mom started and have no clue what to do with them. Maybe I'll take a class one of these days.
 
Morning Glory, Its' it great to be able to walk with out pain? Tashia was cocker and Poodle I think. I really miss her but I am in the process of looking for another dog. It will be interesting to see what I get to put into my family. If I was you I would take the quilts that your mother started to a quilt store and see what they have to say. Most of the time it looks harder than it really it. It would be great that you could finish them. Thats for coming to my site and help me celebrate my birthday. Take care. Tashia
 
Today I found that I stayed home and sleep most of the day. I also realize that my spelling is getting bad again. I am leaving out one letter. It comes and goes but I do think it has to do with me getting tired. I also am so tired of taking my medicane. It really makes my life sometime very differcult. I want to do more things but don't because I won't drive when I have the drugs in me. I want to be able to do anything at any time. I know I still need it for my pain so today I feel sad. A friend ask me to sew today and I didn't because I had to take them before I was going to leave. I guess I am really realize how much the pills are making me not live like I want. With my caregiver I don't have to worry about it. I guess i am wondering when will I be able to give up the pills and be able to go anywhere I want and when I want. The weekend is coming and isn't going to be as warm as they thought it was going to be so that is wonderful. I guess I am wondering if I wasn't doing as much as I am would I need the pain pills. But I also know that if I stop going out I will get depressed again so I feel like I am spinning my wheels and not getting much results. I guess I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Tomorrow will be another day, Thank goodness. Take care. Tashia
