Jim is due for knee replacement in Nov and the other knee in Dec. He has gotten a lot of advice and stories from people who have had it done. Some are horror stories, but most say after the initial recovery and it pain is gone they all wish they had done it sooner. I will be praying for you and hope you soon can say "I wish I had done it sooner."<br /> CarolCarol Strattonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17943171116362623647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903188381073271553.post-13081244807089420222012-09-13T15:04:12.631-06:002012-09-13T15:04:12.631-06:00Hope your surgery goes well.

I complained a lot about mine but they seemed to have a high tolerance for pain or it wasn't as painful as it sounds. :DElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14499907644082324866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903188381073271553.post-82070592680126486692012-09-13T12:09:34.763-06:002012-09-13T12:09:34.763-06:00Jennie~ I truly hope that your surgery goes well! ...Jennie~ I truly hope that your surgery goes well! From indirect experience, when my Mom had one of her knees replaced while close by, we helped her upon returning home after a few days. We brought meals over so she wouldn't have to eat my Dad's cooking, I helped her to wash and style her hair, help motivate her to get up and moving, was a mode of sane conversation for her, and my daughter Anna, who was still a baby at the time was comic relief. I hope that when you return home you will be raring to go. The first few days, I wouldn't worry too much about getting a lot of reading done though, but after that, your kindle will come in handy when the antsiness and boredom creaps in. I wish you a speedy recovery!taylorfamily83316https://www.blogger.com/profile/06267078377781102005noreply@blogger.com
