Come right in and set a spell,
Yes I am back again for a short update on my ever boring life. Today you probably wonder what is going on with this person? Well my title says it all. This month and especially next month are very busy with Birthdays and Anniversaries. Today is my other daughters birthday and then the fun begins. In August I have some many it is hard to keep track of them. First it is our son=in=laws and then our oldest sons followed by our anniversary and then the youngest sons and then our new grandson and then finally our granddaughters at the end on the month. OOPS forgot my sister and her husband on the same day as our sons.See I told you I get lost in all these activities.Well this month is about over and I am glad as this has been one month that things were a little hurtful and not feeling so hot.I am starting to get {I think a little back to normal} if only I could sleep at night and get rid of a lot of the soreness in my new knee.I walk for a little while and now my leg and knee ache. I go to therapy later so it will be a little more pain.And I am one that can't take a lot of pain.We still got heat that I wish would go away especially when there isn't even a breeze.Well Friday we leave for a little break form all this.We are going to Fort Lauderdale for the weekend.Just to get away will be a great break. I guess my small blog is turning into a book so I guess it is time to close and wish all you angels come back soon.

Welcome All,
As you can see I haven't been on for awhile, to which I am sorry,I just haven't been feeling that great. I feel have sick to my stomach and I got this awful taste in my mouth. I am so tired of being sick all the time. As for my therapy it is going alright.I go three times a week and she usually adds something new at the beginning of the week. This week she added more time on the bike, and balancing myself on the new leg while standing on a couch, this is hard enough on flat surface let a lone on a soft one. Our weather is still too hot for me I can't wait for the humidity to drop so it gets a little cooler.The park has been pretty quiet but soon this will end, as it will soon be August and some will start to return.I did make it out to get my hair cut yesterday as it was just getting to be to much. While I wish I could change my own page I do really like that someone does it for me.And YES I like it very mush.One of these days I will learn more things I can do.Well I am doing laundry so I guess this will be it for awhile so until later you all have a very good weekend with what is left of it.

Come on in,
Just a short update today haven't forgot to update just can't take the pain of this new knee.I had therapy again on Thursday and she really did a work out on me.First of the bat it was the stationairy bike for 5 and then new step, on was to balance myself on the new knee for a count of 5 and do this three times, and if that wasn't hard I can't even do this with my good-bad leg. Then it was over to the wall and lean against it and do five skouts and then do the same ones I did before for a total of 15 each then to ice bag and the electric shocks which felt good. After that we left to get a handicap sticker and had to wait for 45 minutes in line to get it. It is good for 6 months. When we got home I was so tired and weak, today I can't seem to shake this weak feeling.I got therapy again today I hope I feel OK> Our weather has turned from rainy to hot hot hot. But I guess that is what we like but not me I like it a little cooler, can't wait till fall.I can't seem to get my mind on this yet so this is all for now and maybe will do some later, until then have a very safe and happy day.

Hi everyone,
Well I mist a couple days, only because this knee replacement sure is a painfull thing. Mostly during the day it isn't bad but at night it totally sets me nuts. And this rainy weather sure is playing a big part in it. We have had rain now for 4 straight days all day long. A lot of the roads and streets around us are closed because of all the water. We needed this rain but come on give us a break.The weather makes my knee ache a lot. I went to therapy yesterday for the first, and it was OK but my leg was very tired after the session. I will be going three times a week for eight weeks.I hope I get to moving it a little better without it hurting so much.I see your page looks good I still need to learn how this is done, and a lot of other things on here. I need to start back on my scrapbooking again as I really enjoyed that. Just need to figure out this computer as it isn't like my old one.When I download things it wants to put them all in word form, and I can't figure out why. I might uninstall the program and load it again ar maybe it is because this is not windows xp but vista and maybe the download is not for vista. I guess I'll close for now and go to start a new scrapbook page. so until tommorrow keep on smiling and be safe.

Welcome Everyone,
Well I'm' back with a short update. Today is someone Else's Birthday. It is my sister-in-laws She lives in Texas,and is retired from nursing. We haven't seen her since my motherinlaw passed away. But we do call each other on our special days and also other times. Today is another hot day here in sunny Florida I wish it was a little cooler that way I could get out and walk to try and loosen this new knee up. As it seems to get tight and swell when I am up. Also I heard last night that it will be sore and bother me for a year or more. As our friend had hers done a few months ago and she went to the doctors yesterday and he told her it will hurt for some time maybe a year or more.}good news Right] not? I hate being this way. Well I hope my daughter had a very Happy Birthday yesterday as she hasn't called for four days?? What's up with this. I hope you got my message and our cards. I am going to try to do a scrapbook page later if I can set that long{got to do something as I am going nuts not being able to do much.I guess that my short blog update is getting to be like a book so I must close this and find something else to do, so until we see each other have a very fine day and weekend.

Welcome family and friends,
Yes I know this is two days this week that I have updated. I am trying to do better.I had my final day of home psycial terephy so now I start at the center two or three times a week.In all it is going pretty good even though I have a lot of pain and don't listen to people who tell me to please take a pain pill, I am so afraid of them I suffer and then don't get any sleep and am very grouse but this to will pass I hope. Well today someone is having a birthday?????and will turn== years old. I hope you have a very Happy Birthday and many many more. I sent you a card via email and also one via mail, I hope you got it by now but if you didn't it is Father's fault as he kept forgetting to take it to the mail. But he finally did as it is no longer lying here.I am going to lay down for awyhile as I had a good work out today and with little sleep I am tired. So until tommorrow may the angels watch over us all.

Hello Again!!
Yes I am back to try and set long enough to post a short update. I can set alright but I can only leave my leg down for so long and then it starts to feel like it is swelling so I go and prop it up. The pshyical therapist will make her final day tomorrow and then I must go to physical therapy for 8 weeks a a center. They say it is coming along good but it still hurts like ---- and at night I get very little sleep.I even took a pain pill last night and was still awake at 4:30 a.m. I guess I am just a little impatient as I am not used to being tied down.Don't know how long will be out of work and if I got a job. Paper work says I am terminated.
This photo is of the flowers that McDonalds sent me in the hospital they were so beautiful but didn't last long, as they had this worm in them and I think that is why they died.That was nice of them but now don't know as I might not have a job.Our weather is so hot and we have been having storms almost everyday but we need the rain, things are starting to look really great and green again.I guess I will sign off and lay down for awhile maybe back later, so take care and be safe.

As you can see by my title the first knee surgery is over and a success I guess. Haven't felt too good after the surgery but I think I am going to make it.Last night was another bad night.I am on these pain pills and they make you feel goofy so I try not to take them but took one last night and I guess I didn't eat enough as I got sick and felt like I was on cloud nine all night long. I also haven't had much sleep since the day of surgery.I can get my legs in the right position and so all I do is toss and turn and then only doz. I can't wait to back to normal I do not like being waited on and my nurse gets upset with me,(half the time I swear he can not hear.)then yells I need to speak up and quit mumbling I also scare him too much when I say I am not feeling good. If he makes it threw this I sure will be glad.Then there is the fact he is afraid to leave me only, and even though we are retired we both need to work to survive,and with me off now he needs to work, I will be alright..I need to get off of this and lay down as I am getting tired and since I had surgery I get the chills and cold all the time as I am on Coumadin and it thins your blood they say that's why I get so cold and right now I am freezing.So take care and may all angels keep us safe. God Bless
