Knee Replacement Surgery

[Whitneys story]

And this one is for you!

I know it is really a peacock but when I saw it I thought of you taking off after your surgery!

If you would like to PM me I would be happy to see what I can find in your area. I know you have
your hands full. Behemoth Hugs as you are cared for by so many! More Hugs Whitney

Oh boy does it ever suck!!!!! I really hope this does not backfire and I end up worse than I already am.

Please try not to think this way. I know you have fear of the unknown. Focus on something positive while you are researching. This way you will have clearer understanding. Big Hugs Whitney

NH,

I am glad you went to check out the facility before you went. You might want to ask your orthopedic surgeon where he/she would go if they were having the same type of surgery. Actually, the ortho nurses are a good source of that type of information.

Just know that so many people here are thinking and praying for you, and will be here to listen and support the best we can.

(((Hugs)))

Thank you all for the support that you show me.:inlove:

I am feeling rather beat down at the moment. my momentum is slowing down and the desire to prevail is subsiding. I know I can not let this happen as my fighting has only just begun. I will take the time to smell the non existent roses or shoot pictures of the butterflies. I need to clean so my goal for today is to just get my room done. Im still struggling with the smoking as I have smoked 10 for the last 2 days. My excursus is at a bare minimum with the heat at 105 the last 2 days. Maybe my expectations of myself are too high at the moment. I step at a time, one phone call at a time. I must not allow this to get the better of me.

You have acknowledged it NH, now leave it there and move on. Keep being kind to yourself.

I have a call in to the patient advocate at the hospital. I really hope they can assist me in my fight for after care. The only other option will be to reschedule and go to New York for the sugery. Then to make things worse I got a call from my aunt telling me that my father is deteriating rapidly. How to choose what to do. Omg what a thing to have to choose.

 

[intothelight]

Praying that you do not have to choose.

((((NH)))) This is such a hard thing. I hate the insidiousness of dementia and how it takes a loved one away. I know you love your dad. I know it is tearing you apart knowing what is happening to him. Mabe you could make a quick trip to go and see him and figure out what to do. This would give you time to come back for your surgery.

Food for thought. Take it or toss as it feels right for you. I am sad your dad is so far away and it is an ordeal to make the trip. Does he need to be placed in a nursing home? Or is he dying? It would help to have more information on how much he is deteriorating.

I feel for you. You have had so much going on for so long. I am with you in spirit. Big hugs.

Wow NH... I'm sorry I haven't kept up to date with what is going on.

Whatever you do, take that shower cap with you ;) , so you will be able to have a laugh and think of all of us thinking of you wishing you the best. (damn...there are more emoticons but still no hug... come on Anthony!!!).

And in the meantime throwing this your way for when it overwhelms you...
