    Dear Linda

    I do hope that you are safely back home now and sleep well in your own bed. :grin:

    Do let us know how you are as soon as you get settled into some kind of routine.

    Love

    Well that must have been awful for you poor Linda, losing your emergency button. Mind you i'm sure nurses are trained to blot that noise out whereas mobile phone tunes.....good idea even if the rest of the ward didn't think so!

    Hope you will be home very, very soon.

    Hello everyone,

    Lynn is having problems with her mobile, so I have been brought out of retirement, to keep you all updated on our Lovely Legs.

    Lindalegs says;-

    "Home yesterday evening. Had a good night, only waking once, for strong pain relief. Stairs going to bed were an ordeal, was very brave til the last one, then decided I couldn`t do it, and stood blubbing like a baby! Coming down this morning was fine. Last brain cell seems to be having a torrid affair with morphine. There`s no hope!......xxx"

    I`m sure you will agree that she is a STAR!...........Ange.x.

    Hi Linda

    I'm so impressed with your 100 degree bend! I'm almost 10 weeks post TKR and still can't get past 85! What's your secret please?!

    Well done, glad to hear you're home.

    Hi Lindalegs
    Glad you are home,it's the best place to be!
    Just rest as much as you can and do you physio but don't overdo it.
    Going up and down stairs is the safest way to go,I still do even after 6 weeks (admittedly have been in a leg plaster most of that time!)
    Take care

    You;ll be flying up them stairs before you know it.
    I knew you'd cause havoc on the ward somewhere :lol: & that one brain cell must be a good one if you thought of the ringtones.

    Hi everyone,

    Here`s the latest, straight from the lady herself:-

    "I`d remembered the pain from my previous TKR`s, but I`d forgotten the "low" days. Feeling a tad sad today, and don`t know why". :cry:




    Take some soft time Legs, and allow your emotions full rein. You`ve been through a helluva lot...........Much love always........Ange.x.

    Hi Ange,

    Nice to see you and thanks for the update./ A Bowl of quick fly and a ((( ))) xx

    Hi Legs,

    Glad your home flower.

    Down days my friend are part of the recovery. Its hard to really take in how long its going to be before you get back to 'normal' and we kinda think its going to be instant especially I think if you been there before?

    Leaving you a pollyanna draft, a horrible life shampoo remover and a ((((( ))))) with so many hopes you will soon feel your normal positive self... hey none of us can stay up for all the time and well Legs I wish I could make it all better for you. Love Cris who may have swigged some of the drafts first :wink: xx

    Oh Linda I have a lump in my throat. I just expect all that pent up emotion from cancelled op to the real thing, Anaesthetic effects, pain and the meds have left you feeling a bit lost. It happens to us all after an operation but it is okay to feel like that. Your body has been through a lot! and a good cry can help a lot.
    Heres to a speedy recovery.

    Good to see you Ange, I hope things are ok with you. :smile:

    Hi Linda, it is natural to have low days and my surgeon warned me about them. Funny how we block out the not so good times and only remember the better ones. You will soon pick up, knowing you, you are not one to dally. Although it is so good to be home it is quite a shock to the system, isn't it? Nothing else to think about in hospital except getting well but it is not so easy all the time when back home.

    Take care my lovely and things will most certainly improve but you know that.

    Love

    Hi Legs Sorry to hear you feel down right now hope it doesn't last long. I think after a stay in hospital and op you look forward to getting home and you think everything will be like the old days when you were fit and well but when you get home you realise things aren't what you hoped it hits you and knocks you back. You will eventually realise that you are better than you was when you went in and hopefully pick up. Some of us even miss the hospital but not the bed :roll: Hope this makes sense.

    Love
