Good on you Grace, you can't keep a good woman down for long! Hope you recover really quickly and without any hiccups. Make sure you do what the doctor says and keep up the exercise. My Mum has had 3 knee replacements (the first one done in Adelaide years ago, didn't go too well). The two up here have been wonderful and she is 81 and walks everywhere. Love Chris
234253I'm with you as I'm dreaming of designs in quilting and embroidery whether I'm asleep or awake makes no difference. Hope you have a speedy recovery so you can get back to doing the things you most love.

Thank you. If it weren't for my computer and tv I'd be stir-crazy. Can't concentrate enough yet on a plot in a book, but I have a stack of unread novels by my chair.

I don't draw. In my dream they were arrayed like in a directory on a computer page. Must have been thinking about embroidery as I went under.

173580Been there so know what it's like. Keep it up as much as they tell you a d ice. Later on maybe heat. Are you going for P. T. later? Thinking about you and praying you'll soon be back on both feet/Lillian

Ice is already a four letter word with me. Physical therapy either at home or back to my local hospital, depending on how I'm doing at doctor appointment. Prayers count!

Wish I had thought of that, but we bought a nifty ice wrap that fits around the knee with Velcro - one size fits all in this case.
7103Betsy that is so good that you can laugh right after your surgery. LOL you made me laugh here's wishing a speedy recovery. ~hugs~
299557It will take a while to heal- don't be like me and push your luck. The housework will be there when you are all healed. If you can, get a walker as it is more stable that crutches. God bless.
34771See what those drugs do.......... :-)
Now you have time to collect all the designs to make that dream possible. I wish you a speedy recovery.
