Some Thoughts

Well here it is a couple of days before I have surgery on my left knee and even though I dread to have it done it will be great latter on when I have healed up....Yesterday the hospital called and reminded me what time to check in and some final instructions....I have sure suffered this week as I have had to stop taking some of the meds that I used to stop the pain in my knee....I couldn't take them before surgery cause they were blood thinners.....Well it won't be long now is all I can say....I won't be able to write on the blog for some time so don't be angry with me....I know that I will be in rehab for a week or so after I get out of the hospital and even then I won't be able to get around too well when I get home for the therapy sessions...Please say a little prayer for me as I am not very pain tolerant....Later....

Update for the Old Fat Boy

Well I bet you thought I wasn't ever going to write on here again, but I am going to fool you.....HA HA  I just got done with the Magnolia Blog and thought I better put something on here also....It's been 6 weeks since I had surgery on my right knee and am doing well....I can't kick too high but then I never could any way....I have been walking without a cane for a couple of weeks now and my therapy is over for the most part, just some exercises that I can do myself for the next several weeks or so....A week from tomorrow or Monday the 26th I am set to go back and have the left knee done..With the first knee I was gone from home for 2 weeks with the hospital and rehab all together...I am hoping that this time it won't be as long as I know a lot of the stuff I already learned in rehab...I just have to be able to do the stuff....I know that in the long run it's all going to be worth it, and this is just  a little bump in the road so to speak.....
