Hello everybody thank you thank you all so much for being with me it realy does work this cyber pocket duty , as lots of you know once they wheel you out of the ward to theatre you do feel very alone , but then you might feel a swift kick in the backside , and well its one of you , have got alot of brusing on my arms and hands as the cannula did not want to know then i felt a sheepy hoof in the pocket and the words in my mind that Cris is telling me to relax and its in , i have a nice line of shiney staples in my knee a bulgy brace that goes from the top of my leg to the ankle , its set at 60% for 3 weeks then goes to 90% dont know much after that at the moment , it is quite bruised with a lot of that under the strapping of the brace ouch but for now its rest and recupe it looks as if i might even have to put a skirt on as trouser legs are to light over the brace and thats the baggy ones
I know i am a lady ,all life is a journey xx MAY xx

Who did that? Just what you don't need on the way to theatre, Bertyboy. They will be banned, forthwith. Well, possibly fifthwith.
I'm so pleased it all seems to be going well. keep at it.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Hi Berty, glad it all went ok, very lonely on that trolley with all the people putting tubes everywhere....
Have you got shorts you could wear for a bit? Most of the men on our ward with 'knees' were wearing shorts
Rest up and take it easy, worst bits done now.0 -

Hi Berty,
Whats a skirt?
Least you will get out and really pleased your home and its looking good!
Ned will have no choice this time cus of the splint thing and the bend will be made to happen so much better than the horrible physio you had last time!
Really is going so much better eh? Does he hurt less already Berty?

You must remember, skezier. Skirts are those weird garments which, when you go to the loo, you're supposed to be able to hold up while pulling knickers down. I believe non-arthritics wear them - well, Mr SW doesn't but female non-arthritics do.
Bertyboy, I'm really pleased it's going well but you have some way to go when a trip to Morrisons fills you with such delight. Onwards & upwards.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Hi Berty.
you are doing well.when i had my leg in plaster and i had to hop everywhere and there were the times i had to go to the little room and i put a peg on my skirt to hold it out of the way.
take care.

Hi Bertboy
So glad you are home and in your own bed. I think that makes all the difference to recovery. As long as you do rest up plenty, thats the most important thing at the mo. The recovery has started, yu'll be fit before you know it.

Hi Berty,
Ouch flower that sounds uncomfortable as well as painful. So glad you are back home and being looked after so well.
Now I have a vision of you in hubby’s baggy shorts, I thought I was divine in my baggy trackie’s and now I find I have been beaten hands down by you!!
Oh I see you have chicken out and are wearing a skirt ....enjoy your wiz around Morris and sons.
Gentle hugs,

Hi Bertygirl
l am so pleased to hear from you and am also so embarrassed l have not been on here sooner :oops:
You are right about the power of the forums...it really does help. You know people are thinking about you and they understand your worries and send you a little bit of their strength.
Wishing you a speedy recovery
Love

Dear May
I knew you were home because of your other thread but just seen this one. So happy for you to be home. You were so sweet and kind to think about me when you went into hospital and you would have had lots on your mind. I do hope that this time round all will be well. I am sure the medical team will be bending over backwards to help you, second time round. You put up with the discomfort for so long after the last op, you so deserve a speedy, uncomplicated recovery.
Bless you, thinking of you in this hot weather. :roll:
Bad timing for us, don't you think? Never mind it will not last. That is one thing we can be sure of. About time for a thunder storm soon I should think.
Love
Elna xThe happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.
If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.0 -
I berty
Im so glad to hear that everything is going to plan, wishing you a speedy recovery....you deserve it ...Love
