I'm Back

Hi gang,

     How is everyone doing? I've missed you. Life has been so happy. My knee replacement has allowed me so much freedom.
I was in the hospital for 2 weeks due to a MRSA infection (the super bug.) I was sent home with IV antibiotics given through an IV site called a PICC line. The fact that I would be home alone with Ellen being gone from home 12 hours a day or more. Got lots of PT and OT. At 2 weeks post-op my knee surgeon said I was at the place he expects his patients to be at for their 6 week check-up. I've been a bit behind on doing my home exercises. I do walk 5 days a week now. The woman who got short of breath walking to her car walked 1.25 miles with no breathing problems. I never thought I would ever be able to do that. Not in a million years.
    Hope every thing is going well with you and yours. Enjoy the season what ever your spiritual preference. Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year.    Mag   

Merry Christmas Mags ! I am so happy your doing better... Life may throw us a bump in the road sometimes but we now can just walk right over it and keep going... Way to go!


Hugs, Lisa

 Sounds like you are doing really well. Walking every day will continue to help you with your recovery. You should be very proud of yourself.

Glad you are doing better, I miss YOU

That's awesome Mag!!!  Have a great holiday!

Way to go on the walking !!!! I went to the store with my mom today and we always took a cart to lean on and for support and she grabbed two carts and I told her I didnt need one and she actually said "Oh yeah your miss fitness now" LOL Never thought I would hear that. Surgery was the best thing ever... so glad to hear its going great for you too!! 

Hey Mags,

So glad to hear your knee surgery was a success. It's great to have that freedom of getting around and not have to rely on anybody else but yourself.

Hope you have a Merry Christmas and continue with your upbeat and encouraging messages. I always enjoyed them when I first had my surgery. You kept me going!
