THOUGHT FOR THURSDAY

Happiness is only found

in bringing it to others,

And thinking of all folks we meet

not as strangers, but as brothers.

Happy is he who is kind to the poor.

Proverbs 14:21

Many Moons Ago

There is light at the end of the tunnel

Surgery is behind me. I'm having therapy 2 times a week. I am very sore most of the time but my hip doesn't hurt; just the muscles in my left leg. I'm not sorry I had the surgery but sometimes I wonder when I will feel really good again. I'm not a complainer but this has been a real trip for me. I still use the cane when I go out. I don't trust my balance yet.

Today after therapy I had so much pain so I thought I would visit from friends in the local nursing home. Seeing other peoples misery sometimes helps me to not feel sorry for my shelf.
I know my aches and pains will be behind me someday.

The first week is past

I had my hip replacement surgery on January 18. I did every well with it. I came home again on Friday. I've had a fair amount of pain but it is getting better very day. I'm walking with the help of a walker and should be using the cane very soon. I am so glad surgery is behind me. My husband is taking very good care of me; doing the laundry and fixing mealsl etc. I still rest and sleep alot along with my exercises that need to be done 3 times a day. Hope everyone is having a fine day.

The first week is past.

Been gone to long.........

I haven't written anything on my blog for a long time. I'm dealing with a lot of pain and stress lately. I may have mentoned that I am set up for a total knee replacement on January 18. I am so uncomfortable most of the time. I don't sleep well. I now have trouble sitting, as well as standing, for any length of time.
Yesterday I had my pre-testing (ekg, chest x-ray, blood work, etc) done and also my husband and I went to a class to learn more about the surgery and recovery. I would like to" run the other way" at this point but I know I do need the surgery. I'm sure I will do okay. The waiting is hard........
