I almost spit my coffee out!! Sounds SO much like me. I had bilateral total knees done about 10 years ago, three months apart....and both times I was home faster than most. As for the local...uh NO you don't want to do that. LOL

The company of my pups is comforting to me...there is simply no place like home and having them look after.

I have had a bit of a rough time sleeping, so have not been up to posting much. I read this thread every single day and am so touched by all of the kind words and prayers. I remember many years back, having issues with YT...I signed up and then left for a while. I ended up loving it and the people..I have met SO many wonderful people on this forum.

LOL on the trashy tv. Not much of that, but I am watching my shows...Survivor, Walking Dead, Scandal, Designated Survivor and Blindspot. I tape them and watch when I can.

I hope you are ok....what with your Dolly and your sister. My heart breaks for you. It has been a rough couple of weeks. *hugs* So sweet of you to think of me when you have been through so much.

That is about all I am doing. My son has been awesome! Thank goodness for my pups! They really are great company and I can tell that they understand I am not feeling 100% .

Thank you, Jean.

Praying you continue with the strength to beat this and get well soo, but I guess it will take time. No wonder you are tired, you have been through a lot and the body has to heal. So take all the help you can get and rest up when you can. Thinking of you and wishing you well.

I saw my surgeon two days ago and I was crying the blues about being so tired. She reminded me that I had major surgery and it was not yet a week; and of course mentioned my age...lol ... she was like, "I am not saying you are old". It does take longer it seems.

Thank you so much for your kind words.

Hold your head high and bless you for sharing. I am not ashamed to say I have one breast . I am am a survivor. You are beautiful Linda. Blessings and love sandy

Thank you, Sandy, for your kind words and for sharing your story!

Honestly, I have no choice. This was a bit difficult. I am so thankful my son lives close by. He has been amazing!

Thank you

Thank you so much for your kind words.

Yes, you had a major surgery! Give yourself time. I know, easier said than done, Wonder Woman.

Praying for you to feel better and stronger each day.

Thinking of you and know what you mean about
Wanting to be home asap. You're in my daily prayers

Checking in on you, Linda. Can't post much because as soon as an ad starts to load, I can no longer post unless I close it out. Hope you are a little less sore by now and praying for you. Think about you every day.

[ladyjane]

I am sorry I haven't been around much. I get on the pc for short periods here and there. This is much harder on me than any surgery I have had in the past. I hate to whine ... so most of the time I just sleep.
I cannot say it is the worst thing in the world, but it is most unpleasant and a nagging thing day in and day out. Night time is the worst.
This too shall pass....just hope it is quickly.

[sandy simpson]

Dearest linda, prayers for you to be able to rest and heal. Make sure you eat to keep up your strength. Know how much you are loved by all of us. Yes our dogs are a great source of comfort. So precious and they truly help us feel better.

That sounded like a really rough surgery. Does your surgeon have a good idea how long you'll be down for? Just stay strong and hug the pups when you can. Just keep getting stronger Linda, and I'll keep you in my prayers.

Hugs,
Chris
