TGIF!!! What's New
Hi Laureen and my OFF family:
A quick check on the board before I get ready for PT. My knee was really hurting last night, so I didn't sleep well ... got to sleep after 3 a.m. and got up a lot, tossed and turned, etc. Just not a good night. Fought taking a third vicodin because ... well, I just don't want to take that many drugs in one day. I took one when I got home because I was in so much pain, took another when I went to bed, still in pain, then I couldn't sleep... arrrgh! I had this surgery to be out of pain, I realize it's just seven (almost eight) weeks, but when will it end? I was feeling pretty good yesterday until late in the day when I got into the car and twisted something ... then it all went downhill. I was nearly in tears a couple of times at work. The swelling seems to have gone down at least.
Linda Barnett sent me this brain sync CD that supposed to help with weight loss. Played that last night ... very relaxing ... supposed to have subliminal messages to get you to keep on your diet and exercise ... we'll see.
I am really dreading PT ... just in too much pain. Maybe he'll do some massage.
Hope everyone has a nice Valetnine's Day who has a sweetie to do something with ... me and the cats will stay home and enjoy each other's company ... those are my sweeties! They just don't get me anything. I did get some nice Valentines from my OFF sistahs (thanks, Paulette and Margo) and my brother Gary ... the one from Gary almost made me cry (it was funny, too) but the words inside that he wrote were so sweet. I didn't send out any to anyone, but you know I love you all. I couldn't make it without you. You are my true sisters of the heart ... I have a real sister, but have no connection with her.
Have a good day.

Eileen,
I'm so sorry to see that even after all of this you are still suffering, I truly hope that the pain goes away and that you can one day live without the help of those vicodin's, at least the swelling has gone down. . .
Hope your PT person helps you make some progress without inflicting a lot of pain.
Hugs and good wishes for your recovery process to get better! Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Carla,
Happy Surgiversary!!! 7 Years, what an amazing amount of time and you are below goal weight, which gives me hope that I will yet get there!
I hope you are feeling well and I am looking forward to seeing you, hopefully, in the Fall, though I will be in Florida in April, just not sure where we will land this time. . . my daughter wants to go to Siesta Key or some such place, but she has yet to pick a place and the time is getting closer, so we may wind up back where we went last year, which was a nice enough place.. . anyway, be well and thanks, yes, my home is becoming the dream I've had for it.
Hugs and healthy thoughts to you, Laureen

I will be in Florida, I think from the 3rd to the 10th, so let's see if I make it close by you, if we can't meet up for coffee, lunch or something. . . we'll play it by ear. . . Laureen
