docs report

[Guest guest]

Well I dug through the ice and snow and bitter cold to make the docs and the

report was not what I would have liked but not a surprise either....seems the

old knee is shot (or should be, lol). I am down to no space so bone on bone

with the developement of bone spurs. I have lost alot of mobility and stiffness

is major. I got it injected and it seems better. I am praying the injection

holds me for a while (a long while). Surgery is never a good option for me but

the doc assured me things have improved with anesthesia. I will need to have

the knee replaced eventually but beleive me it wait til I have no choice.....

On another note I hope that all well and warm. here in the Ohio Valley we are

cold and snowed and iced in for the most part. Some of our roads are clean

but where I am is horrible. My van is currently stuck which means I am stuck!!!!

YUK! But it is Christmas and spending time at home has its advantages....

Happy Holidays!

Hi Donna,

I am sorry to hear about your knee - but pleased and impressed, as usual with

your hang tough spirit! We had a little dusting of snow, and worse freezing

rain and ice about a week before Christmas, we were coming home from a friends

house 45 minutes away (it took 2 1/4 hours) -and Robbie was so excited, hoping

for a White Christmas - and I was grumbling in the front seat - but nothing

like what you guys have endured. Robbie finally said - Mom, don't you like a

White Christmas? I told him absolutely, if all my errand were done, and I

didn't have to go to work, and I could stay home and drink hot chocolate with

him and play games, I would love to look outside at a White Christmas - but it

was still a week away, and I still had to get out in it! We laughed then, and

he did get a two hour ice/snow delay for school the next day -but it's been

clear since. Robbie said he had a nice Christmas anyway, and Mr. White

Christmas told me two days after Christmas that now that Christmas is past, he

wanted winter to go away too!

Wishing you and your beautiful family (loved the picture!) a wonderful New Year

full of happiness and pain free!

Love,

Val

Hey Val and my lil friend Robbie aka Mr. White Christmas....we had enough

white christmas for the both of us and I will share a photo when I get them. As

for winter and the white stuff I am with ya pal..it can all go away! LOL! Here

in Louisville we have seen record lows this week and now they say we may see a

record high Friday...so both the low and high records broke within one

week...as they say if you dont like it stick around, it will change! The only

thing

is ol man arthur hates the changes....irregardless ...hang tight and hang

tough!

Hugs!
