Well folks tomorrow ...

Well folks tomorrow is the day of my knee replacement surgery and I am more nervous over this one then I was with WLS. I will be in the hospital until at least Saturday. Hopefully I will not have to severe withdrawal pains from being away from my computer. I ask for your prayers that every thing goes as planned and without complication. Also, pray that I can make it through the rehab with a minimum amount of pain. I looking forward to getting into exercise when everything heals up. Dan

You will love your new knee... I love mine... Yep.. rehab sucks but then what do they say no pain no gain... then I could be a baby and it go all and wonderful for you.. everyone is different. I just know that the after pain is NOTHING like the before pain... THANK GOD!!! Since you will be going to St Vs you probably wont have the trouble I did getting them to understand bariatric eatting... I just could not convince the dietiton I was eatting enough!! Linda

Thanks Linda Since I am going to St Vs on 86th Street, hopefully they will be knowledgeable about my food requirements. I am going to take my yellow sheet along and give it the food pushers. Dan

Thanks Angie. Yes Ann is on the computer as much as I am. I will have her post an update. "Behave Yourself" ... now that easier said then done. Since I am a big baby when it comes to pain , it should really be fun. But, I know what I have to do and will do what ever it takes. Dan

Dan, Good Luck to you tomorrow, I will be thinking of you! As with the wls I am sure it will be all worth it afterwards, heck at the next dinner and dancing you just may be with all of us, poor Ann she will be a new dancing Queen, lol! Anyway, we all will be praying and thinking of you, you are a wonderful person, and deserve the best. Keep up the great journey, Dawn

Thanks Dawn for your encouragement. I have already started to practice the FUNKY CHICKEN (since it has lots of protein). LOL Having lived in Germany for five years Ann and I will teach you all the CHICKEN DANCE. That is if this old rooster is up to it. I moving on in my journey. Dan

Dan hope everything will been a comfortable as possible, I hope you luck with the food issue, I still didn't get what I should of had and what I ordered at St. V's in Frankfort, They sent me most of what I was not to have. But maybe they really didn't understand. Thanks for the package in the mail it helps alot. But like I said to Ann please make sure on taking that med cause I really think you are to have it. Thanks again , I will say a prayer for you a hint take pain meds about half and hour before PT. Lisa B
