I'm Back ...

[Danang Sailor]

Been gone all week; had a TKR (Total Knee Replacement) on Monday and no computer access until now. Still stuck using the 'Pad but at least I can read you guys again. I'll be back to the computer next week ... I know it isn't fair to leave all of you without my Pearls of Wizdum for too long puking

I'm having the other knee done mid December, so you'll have to do without me for a few days then, too. Unless Franc can cast some pearls before you while I'm gone??

You were gone?

DS, I've been trying to figure out who came up w/ the phrase" The joys of growing old".
A friend has the best description I've heard, "What don't hurt, don't work". I think there's still quite a bit of me that works 'cause a have quite a few hurts,LOL!!

There's worse things to have stop working than knees...

Six months of therapy and recovery discomfort. You have my sympathy.

I know very few people with successful knee replacement. But, I suppose it's better than constant pain and lack of function. Good luck with it.
As Squerly pointed out, there are worse malfunctions in the human anatomy.

I would send flowers but all the dandelions are gone for the season.

Glad to hear you're okay DS. Knee replacement would be no fun at all, but better than the pain I'd guess. I saw a doc last month about knee pain. He's offering cortisone shot for relief. I don't know what to expect from the shot, if it will really help or not.

Good luck with your recovery and operation number two in Dec.

I was wondering what had happened to you.
