I don't know anyone that likes to be within a hospital but I am on that waiting list that if all works out well < sigh >, I will be going in for a day to not have knee joint replacements but I will have a substance injected after a review with my knees.
The past month I have had so many specialists indicate this or that and finally my original internal specialist and (I forget the other one's name), > I will be having my legs done.
Sounds funny but to be entirely honest, I was worried last night as know one does not wish to be within a hospital. I know I dont but you roll with it. As the saying goes "no pain no gain." So at some point I will be of here and then they are going to send me to the funny farm for network addiction :).
It's funny in a way as I get on here within the eve, as it's something creative and I love that. Today I could tell you all that I have done but I would rather just read and write and share.
The one things that I do know with pain is that if you keep occupied you don't have it and some will stop doing everything and then come atrophy - and that is not my way. It's been proven that within the mindset that if one mentally embraces the pain with on a level of 1 to 10 mine would be around a 7 - you just work with it. I find that the evenings are the hardest as after a day of doing a variety of things pain does come on but for the most part keeping that mind set is something that you just do. It's not a test of endurance its just putting into place where things are and understanding how to work around it. As well, keeping a positive attitudes as well.
However I can say that the weather person was right, as it's been the hottest year thus far. And I truly love it.
I'm sure you'll find relief and hopefully be able to enjoy so much more once the procedure has been done! Wishing you the best!
ReplyDeleteMy best to you always Jack... :)
ReplyDeleteIt shall with pain if you keep occupied, you never think on it and thanks as I know this is just temporary.
ReplyDeleteAll things do have a resolve.
These are the days when there is something that does happen one does come to find the glory of things within life.
ReplyDeleteI have the goals set that I was writing about but I know that I have a waiting period here, but I make the best of it.
The same to you as well...
Glad you got some warmth today. Best of luck with your procedure.
ReplyDeleteThank you Danni, I am just on the waiting list. So it should be within this week. I don't wish to talk about health care but it's fine here. As like many countries.
ReplyDeleteI had it done before and I look forward to it when it does happen again. Will I run again - you bet I shall! :)
hope you feel better soon...hey, ur not alone about the funny farm thingy...just look who always comments around here...ahahahaa! :P
ReplyDeleteRosie I know - I dont have audio, or I would make a comment like I have in the past but I am fine with the day the evenings I just know that I have worked my legs and I look forward to this being resolved.
ReplyDeleteWe all are on here for a variety of reasons - but I don't watch much Television, and I just love to write. I am sure that come across. After the knees it's time for the www funny farm! :) Gotcha...
I am admiring your stamina, perseverance and mind set. I hope the treatment will be most effective.
ReplyDeleteFunny thing to me--if I were to use the phrase getting my legs done, it would be about a beauty shop.
I just had knee surgery (not replacement) and am happy to say that the pain is less every day now. It's not fun, but necessary. I wish you good luck with your procedure.
ReplyDeleteI also wish you the very best with the procedure. It is nice to know that the worst of the pain is temporary and that you have a positive goal . Keep focused on the good things ! Networking is great be it funny farm or not LOL . You have your friends to cheer you on. Glad to be part of your friends here, Take care now and have a great day. Keep the positive thoughts
ReplyDeleteCheryl, I did get the call and I do go in on the 22nd of this month if my memory from this morning serves me well. I am glad to have you and many on here we all are people that write and enjoy life and each on of us has something different happening. The positive thoughts are always there as I truly enjoy this along with many.
ReplyDeleteThe only things that I tend to forget or desire if you will is that there was or is a way that we were all on the same time zones.
No two people are alike and I find that to be the significance of this all. However I understand what you are saying and you do have a blogging friend.
