I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
.
I’m every day improving. At first I was every day getting worse and very scared. But now I’m improving every day.
From 100% bad to now 10% bad. I believe I need some more days/weeks to be totally OK again.
Does that mean you are 90 % good?
Keep improving poodledoodle!
That is so amazing.
Makes us who are surviving at only 50% look 50% bad.
Thanks Send!! Thanks for making me smile, chuckle at your sense of humor.
Giggling has sent pain killing endorphins to your brain, therefore adding another 5% to your well-being!
Feeling great yet?
I feel better a bit too, on Patriot's Day, memorializing 9/11.
As Good As It Gets is a great movie!
Things are getting worse and worse. Bullies are being extreme. I so much hope I can tell you all one day, I came out victorious. Let justice prevail, please.
Hefty price, huh? Geeeeeez!
Are you in a lot of pain with your knees?
I wish my mother would have been a candidate for knee surgery. She had the bone on bone situation and was always suffering with her knees.
I am thankful that mom was able to use her walker and avoid a wheelchair. I hope you aren’t suffering badly with your knees.
It is amazing how short staffed people are. I was speaking with my brother in DC yesterday. He was telling me that there are full service restaurants in his area that have had to go to ‘take out’ only because they can’t get people to be servers.
My mother died at age 95 in 2021.
She did rehab a few times after falls (Parkinson’s disease). I was amazed by her stamina. She cooperated and did what was required in home health and rehab. PT helped with her strength and balance.
At one time mom did have cortisone injections for her knees. They helped some.
Towards the end stage of her Parkinson’s disease was rough for her and she died in her end of life hospice care home
It sounds like you did extremely well in rehab. I went to PT after a horrific bicycle accident in my 40’s.
I had an open compound fracture and had two steel rods placed in my arm. PT was brutal, three hours long, times a week. Still, I felt like it was easier than the work out that the people who were there after knee surgery!
I used to watch people do pool workouts with their physical therapist. It’s a work out!
I don’t blame you for not wanting to overdo the Tylenol. My husband and I are the same way. We take as little pain medication that we can after surgery, including non prescription drugs.
PT was very helpful for us. I have some permanent damage from my accident but overall I did well. I have about 80 percent range of motion.
My husband had two rotator cuff surgeries and he did well in PT also.
I hope you will continue to improve!
My situation, extreme stress. Family bullies, horrible. I hope justice prevails!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take a deep breath. Get the best advice you can get, from knowledgeable people. Bullies don’t change. They get worse. Protect yourself. Don’t trust them. Some people have no shame about how low they’ll go. Expect the worst from them.
