Knee Replacement Surgery

[KP the nut]

A walker is fine to use - and a good weapon :devilish: for folk that get in your way :eek:.

(((NH))), here is to a few months down the line when you will be well again and able to walk - visualise it :hug:.

Link Removed It's Superwoman, No it's Nighthawlk! Oh one in the same.

This will be you in no time, but you are much younger and prettier! We will all be hanging around holding you through this major accomplishment. Just keep doing breathing exercises. You are going to feel so much better. Behemoth Hugs, Whitney

Dear sweet, but anxious and peeved, NH,

Instead of saying congratulations (though I of course agree that they are in order) for all that you have accomplished, I thought I would do something different.

I thought I would do something that might help you get to that end goal of having your daughter see you walk without pain (or at least in far less pain) and you exploring the world with a new sense of freedom.

I thought I would simply ask, what do you need from us, your forum friends, to help get you from where you are today to beyond surgery, to beyond rehab, to that ultimate newfound freedom I just described?????

And yes, NH, I really am asking, as I think each one of us here could likely do one small thing that would help you, but we just do not know what it is!

So as you think about that question, may you also envision this:

Supporting you in PTSD and Hospital kinship!

Patient and Patience-Giving Hugs,
Alex

Got to laugh at the old woman running with the walker.My daughters bosses mother had a mild stroke recently. We agreed to have walker wars when I was up to it lol.

I'll have to think about your question Icon. I know that pictures help me a lot so I hope I'll be able to log on and gaze at the picture threads.

Nh, you can do this. With everything else you've overcome and gone through...this is cake. Easy.

My little angle travels wherever I go these days. The card is read on a daily basis.:hug: Thank you for my angle to look over me.

On Tuesday I have to go on a liquid diet. I have a hectic day. My schedule on Tues is an appointment at 8am ., 9:30 am, 12pm, 4pm and somewhere in the middle I need to go sign legal doc's. I have to be at the hospital at 6:30am. I'm just glad I received the legal documents in time.

Im up to 2 Lorazapams a day at the moment. I am starting to have a really hard time sleeping. I took the dogs to the park at 3:30 am this morning. Hoping to get much needed sleep tonight.

Really this is going to be another new beginning. So much one can hope for.

I think it may help if you focus on this......... the end result will so be worth what you have to go through now.

Soon you will be able to wear a top like this....

As I get ready for this journey I look forward to rising to new heights.

 

[p-no]

For you.

@Icon, You are a genious! Excellent question, as I commonly state we sometimes just need the right question. A million likes for this one.

I can't wait for NH to reply so we can be prepared. I am working on my ability to do long distance massage therapy.

Hugs to you both ((((((((((((((((((((Icon-NH)))))))))))))))))))) Whitney

 

[Nighthawk]

Long distance massage hmmmmmm. I ask that if I go into the black hole that you don't all run away. I am expecting to need some encouragement on the other side.. I know that the rehab is not easy. I also know that when my mobility is challenged for longer periods of time it starts to affect my outlook in terrible ways. I will totally understand if you all run screaming in horror though.

I'll challenge myself to keep a positive outlook. That I do what I am asked and that I allow others to help me. Geez just saying that is nauseating.

Thanks again for all your healing thoughts and well wishes.
