Knee Replacement Surgery

[Nicolette]

Well today I am going to acknowledge that even though I did not achieve the quitting of smoking..... I must be proud of what I have achieved in order to get ready for this surgery.

• Down 45 LBS
• Excercising 3-6 times a week
• Dropped from a full pack of smokes to 8 a day so far I still have 13 days to try achieve more
• Started supplements
• I have asked others for help:eek:

I'm meeting with the anesthetist tomorrow morning. I hope he or she can put some of my concerns to rest.

They made my appointments too close to each other. I have to go back on Tuesday to meet the Anesthetist. Weeeee bit aggitated.

I am so sad they did that to you. I hate the suspense and it must be driving you up the wall. I wish for you a plan for lots of distractions and diversions to keep your mind off of things. You are very brave and couragous. Big hugs.

(((NH))), I am counting down with you. I have a candle burning.

Today brought some tears. I was thinking about the fact that my daughter has never known me not to be in pain. She has never known me to be able to walk the stairs or walk without a limp. It hard to even challenge the pain when I look at it that way. Really this is going to be another new beginning. So much one can hope for.

This week I was asked if I was aware of how painful it is to watch me walk. To me it has always been this is the way I walk.:cry:

I picked up a walker yesterday and with that came a lot of emotion.

Thanks for being here. :hug:

OH (((NH)))) It is going to be ok. You will get through this. I am glad you got a walker to help you to walk. I know it is a huge change and a cramp in your style but I hope it helps. I am really rooting for you. My prayers are with you if that is ok. Big hugs.

 

[Nighthawk]

More than ok and thanks to all of you that are with me I appreciate it more than you can know.

You have made some great strides. Awesome to hear. Surgery date fast approaching but I feel all will go well.
