I received a message from a dear lady I "met" through blogging many years ago and thought I'd check in with you all just to catch up. These days, I mostly post on Facebook and occasionally Instagram, so I don't visit blogs like I used to. I know that needs to change, and I'm going to try my best to do better. If Y'all see this, I sincerely HOPE you're doing well. I know we're all getting older and many have faced health challenges. I'm doing really well...for an older lady. I did have carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand in January....thank you, Crochet... 😊...and, I'm so glad I did it. I'm able to crochet once again, which I absolutely love to do. I lost a considerable amount of weight about 4 years ago and it has found it's way back home...unfortunately...so that's been a big struggle for me, especially on my bad knee...which has kept me from walking like I used to...hence the weight gain (at least that's part of the problem...sadly, it's eating way too much food and moving way too little. I'm looking at knee replacement sometime this year and I'm very much dreading it...so if any of you have undergone that procedure, please give me some advice to help ease the anxiety I have about the pain and recovery and therapy. I must be the biggest wimp ever. 😔
I hope each of you has a wonderful Mother's Day and you are celebrated and pampered.
Love Y'all!
Those irises and other flowers are SO beautiful! And it is so wonderful to hear from you here again! I know I see you on Facebook, but not really to communicate as much. I just enjoy seeing what you post. But here I seem to do better at responding. I am sorry you are facing surgery. I pray all will go well for you. I Haven't had that surgery, so I can't be of any help, but I can pray! And I will! Keep us posted. So wonderful to see you here again. Blessings to you dear friend.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, fat cells never "forget" but we can push them back into submission! I had both knees done after 10-years of pain and cortisone shots. Best thing ever!! I had no problems and after home therapy, didn't even need to continue the therapy outside at a therapy center. The pain was minimal (rotator cuff surgery was way worse). I hope you get good home therapy and have them order a cooling machine, which takes the place of constantly getting ice packs from the freezer. It was a game changer. Ask for it!! Keep us posted!! So good to see your post and your lovely flowers!!
ReplyDeleteOh, it’s such a joy to read your post again! It feels like nostalgia when I think back to all your beautiful writings. I just sent you a friend request on Instagram. Love from the Netherlands 💛
