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

great report, Tashia.
 
Tashia,
Sounds like you had a fun day, and are getting your life back! What a great gift these replacements are for all of us during this time and age. :angel:
 
Today was a ruff day. I was really tired. I do know I have to be very great full for how far I have come but that doesn't replace doing things with others. Tonight I am really lonely. I miss doing things at night with people. I know I went to the sewing quild last night but I didn't get to talk to anyone. The speaker was good but spoke so long I found that I had to get up and leave while he was talking. I couldn't set that long. I guess it went on for quite a while so I'm glad I left. Recovery is really ups and downs. I hope everyone had a good day and tomarrow I hope is even better. Take care and take care of yourself. :puppysmooze:Tashia:bicycle1:
 
This early morning I got a surprise. I had noticed that my knee was a little on the warm side and I was very nerves so I decided to take some pain pills. To my surprise my knee stopped hurting and I felt better. So for the last couple of days my knee was trying to tell me to slow down. I did do a lot yesterday so I don't know if I been not paying attention the days before. So now my knee has given me a lesson and that is when its warm to the touch SLOW DOWN!!!!! The swelling wasn't too bad but it was trying to tell me something and that is its still in charge. So when your knee is warm, slow down or slightly score do take note. It will get your attention if you don't. I don't see this as a failure but as a learning experience. I like playing with the colors on the site too. Why not play a little while posting. Life can be fun with just little things. All do take care and I hope this helps you too in listening to your knee telling you to pay attention even if it has been a while since surgrey. :puppysmooze:Tashia:bicycle1:
 
Tashia,
You are so right we have to listen to our knees, or they will just get louder and louder, until we listen.
Sitting here with my legs up, hope you are comfortable today.:sleep:
 
I dropped my posting. MMM Now what happened. If you don't do it right, do it again. Last night I went sewing and found I tire very fast. Wasn't able to stay for the whole time. I got news that one of my friends is in ICU. She went for surgrey and had a drug reaction to something they gave her. She is in very bad shape. I am really bumped about it. Been fighting depression the last couple of days. I given up by trying to decide why, It just is. I hope everyone had a good weekend and for the ones who are waiting for replacements, take care and be careful. In time you will be on this side. :puppysmooze:Tashia:bicycle1:
 
Oh so sorry Tash about your friend, I do hope she improves quickly.

Also sad that you had to leave sewing early, but you did get there that is the main thing.

Depression is a hard one to beat - just be kind to yourself babe, you have been through so much lately xoxoxox
 
Tashia -Please take care of your mood as you are taking care of your body. You are really special and we are all pulling for you !:friends:
 
So glad you are doing so well! I sure know the knee calls all the shots as mine taught me who was boss yesterday. I won't argue with it again! I'm going to try and go for a little outing with a friend tomorrow. Not too much, but I haven't been out of the house since surgery. Keep up the work you are doing and your wonderful outlook! Your positive attitude is wonderful and has made my day.
 
Went out to lunch and found out my friend is doing much better. :yay: She has a long way to go and does have a habit of giving up so we are all concerned about her so I will keep her in my prays. Did have a very good time and got to have some :rotfl: which felt so good. My knees are also doing good. I have notice my hip hardly says anything which is great. Some day my knees will be the same. I notice my knee gets stiff however my hip doesn't . Also have very good range in hip. Stomach is also better today. Found some sewing stuff that I have been looking everywhere for. I also put something else in a safe place and so far it is still safe but were? :shrug: I know no one has had that experience but me, right.:heehee: Now that I have found these I am really close to starting to sew. I need to have all my stuff organized before I start or I get frustrated and:hairpulling: I found a class I want to take. It is a quilt with cats dressed up like vegetables. Really cute if I say so. The dogs are dressed up to be flowers. and the turtles are doing sports. Hope to start on in next month if all goes well. It will take some time since this is a new way of doing a quilt. Well I better get back to the sewing room, it doesn't do itself..:groan: I hope everyone had a good day and have even a better one tomarrow. Please take a easy and stay safe. :puppysmooze: Tashia :bicycle1:
 
Hi Tashia, will be praying for your friend to heal well.
My husband is the worse at putting something in a safe place, and not remembering where he put it. I am also guilty too:whistle:.
That quilt sounds adorable, please post a picture when you have finished it.:SUNsmile:
 
Yesterday was a interesting day. I had a person over for taking me places and she showed up in a truck. Was able to get in and out but she had to move the seat back so I could. I know she didn't feel comfortable about it but I did have to fit in. Was able to do what I needed to do but still have more to go. Will be so glad when I don't need any help but thats the way it goes. Well I better get something done. :puppysmooze: Tashia :bicycle1:
 
I found out that I did hurt myself with the truck. :yikes: Nothing real bad. :sigh: Very tender and some swelling and stiff.:hissy: Difucuilt to bend. :gaah: The top of my left foot isn't happy at all.:shocked: I really don't know what to do with this injury. I have seen a foot doctor and he told me that surgrey needs to be done. The operation is very agressive. They cut the foot in half and then put together with wire. (I think). When the doctor said cut in half' my mind closed down and didn't want to hear it.:scary:Does anyone know about this type of surgrey? I really had all the surgrey my body can take so I am looking for other options. The injurey that started this whole mess was a very long ago. I was at work I had to jump over a stream and I landed wrong. I ripped the tentions from the heal. :shocked: They put me in a cast and one foot did heal but the other didn't. They did do surgrey twice on the left foot. Finally I was able to walk. Now off and on its get sore, then calms down. Well its not happy right now. I do wear inserts and very good shoes. Now the question do I try to outride this or do I try to find some solution to this. Part of me saids Try to ride it out. Your left foot hasn't been walked on right because of the knee so I should let it settle down. But to what point to I say Uncle and do something. I do know to some degree I am repeating myself. I have been dealing with this injury since the 70s. Would love to find a sulution and put this to rest. :scratch: Does anyone have any subjection? Maybe Mother Hen might know about the sugrey and what it is called. I know what I call it but I know thats not the name. :skep: I have been so happy with the knees and the hip, I would love to be out of pain with the feet. I do have lots of arthrtus in it. Misspelled sorry. Also Also both feet have been broken but they were a simple brakes and healed great. Tentions and muscles are whole different story. So now what? I know everytime they get score I walk wrong and it doesn't take much to get the knees and hips sore. Messages help and so does swimming but wearing fins while swimming hurt the left foot. :sos: In all I had a very quiet day and now the knees and hip are doing better. Any subjections would be great. Everyone do take care and be careful. Most of all have fun. Life is just ups and downs in which we need to travel. :puppysmooze:Tashia:bicycle1: I just found out my Cancer tests are negative. CANCER FREE YES YES YES !!!
 
Hi Tashia, you are a bionic woman aren't you. I can relate to some of your surgeries and problems. I had a right hip replacement last Dec and that turned out WONDERFULLY, never any stiffness and now had a LTKR a little over a week ago. No matched pair for me. Anyway, I have dealt with problems with my feet too, especially my left foot. The name for my problem is Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction. A tendon partially tore and caused the arch of my foot to go flat and bulge out. I also wear custom orthotics and I even have a brace that I wear when exercising or if I am on my feet for long periods of time. I had the option of surgery and I would have been non weight bearing for 8 weeks and doc said major narcotics for weeks after. So I decided to get rid of all my pretty shoes and go with the orthotics. Always something it seems. Did you have an anterior approach with your hip replacement? I did and it was great.
 
Debbie, Thanks for the information. I did have an anterior approach and it is great. I really was lucky with the hip however my feet did get unhappy and so did my stomach. I really have been lucky with this knee. Please follow the saying. Ice, Elevate, Rest and pain control. The knee I found is more difficult than the hip. Put with lots of Patients you will be fine. Now with the feet I can't image not walking for two weeks and major pain pills. I did stay off my feet the past two days and the pain and swelling really went down. My hip is still score from getting up into the truck. I think its just muscles and tension. If it had be displaced I sure I would be curled up with great pain and not be able to walk. I see you joined us in June so welcome. The people here are very kind and very supportive. I hope you continue to join us and keep us informed on how you are doing. Have a fun weekend and that goes for everyone.:puppysmooze: Tashia :bicycle1:

Glad to hear that you are taking it easier and doing better, Tashia!
Here's wishing you a few more quiet days! :)
 
Thanks 1ELISEA, I have notice however that my right knee is sore to the degree I might get it looked at.:scratch: It is over two years old and still tender, sometimes very sore. I do know that it had a tuff time getting better after its surgrey because the other knee was so bad so it had to help walking. :gaah: The x-rays all seem to be ok so I don't know whats up. The left knee still has a slight rash on one side of the scar. I see the doctor this week to think what he thinks is going on. :shrug: I was hoping I could start reducing my meds faster but the knee says NO. This time its healing much quicker than the other. Most of the time no limp. Have been able to go thru all my sewing pattern and have them already for sewing. Feel good to get something done without hurting. :yes!: Found lots of stuff I had forgotten about. The weather has been great. Now I can start thinking of swimming but need to see whats happening with the knee with the rash. Thinking of getting ride of the walker since I don't use it any more. Its so good to be on this side and not having to wonder when, how will I do, etc. For the most part so pleased about all three. My right knee is still a pain at times but so much better than before. Nice to be able to SLEEP again. And to be able to drive.:spin: Having the support of this group made the last surgrey so much easier than the other two. :yes: Now looking forward to getting back to living again. Not quite there yet but so much better than before. Knowing what I know now I would of had the surgies so much sooner but it is what it is. Even lost some weight on during this process. Thats make my joints very happy to sat the least. Well I am getting tired so I need to get to bed and get some:sleep:. Everyone take care and stay safe. :puppysmooze:Tashia:bicycle1:
