Knee Replacement Surgery

[piratelady]

((NH)) I think once the pain begins to subside and you get through this, you will no longer wonder if it was a mistake. Knee replacement surgery is a big deal, and it is going to take some time to get up and at 'em again. I know you can get through this though.

I struggle a lot with perfectionism as well, especially when I try quilting or crocheting. On my first quilt, I kept re-doing it so it would be perfect. I was going to give it to my mom, and the deadline was coming so I had to let the mistakes stay and not re-do them. It was hard not to let my perfectionism win, but when I did, it was great!! They didn't stand out, and no one even noticed them. The point I'm trying to make, is maybe just keep going and I bet when it's finished you won't even notice it and will love what you've created.

That card is beautiful!

I'm so proud of you for accepting your tdoc's offer to do a home visit!! I can appreciate what it takes to allow someone into your home like that but you ARE moving forward, good on you (((((((((((((Night)))))))))!

What a lovely card and very thoughtful expression of support. :) It's just beautiful but then you are worthy of such friendship. Being hobbled by physical adversity whether surgery or otherwise is a very challenging obstacle and mixed in with PTSD symptoms can difficult to manage. We are all keeping you in our thoughts.

I saw this picture and thought of you.
Take good care of yourself, My Friend.

Srain You know my taste well I have had a copy of this picture for a few weeks. :)

Pirate I think learning to accept the flaws is key to my knitting and to some degree my PTSD.

my want and desire for perfection hinder my ability to just knit.

I'm a perfectionist too, you should see how many mistakes I make on my cards NH! :roflmao: Often I think they are not good enough to send until I realise no one else can see the mistakes, only me. If I squint I can't see them. ;)

Keep knitting, what's a few dropped stitches among friends? x :hug:

I do not have a lot to say, but wanted to let you know you're in my thoughts.

 

[p-no]

Actually, I wish we'd all be living close-by so we could come over and overwhelm you in a positive way and help you through the days! That card CC sent is beautiful and I am grateful for you having received something so special and thoughtful that you can hold in your hands and reread each day. :)

Keep fighting. The knee will heal and you will feel so much better in the end. Small consolation for the pain now, I know. Wish I could be there to help or at least have a few wise, encouraging words. Don't give up.
:hug:

Your words tonight are keeping me at bay. Extreme emotional fall out. I knw somewhere that in he future this time may be minimized. Living in this body is challenging. Feeling like a baby with no comfort in sight. If only one ailment would give me a break. My stomach is not helping my issue.
