Sending all those along to you! I have something wrong with the tendon
under my right foot (it's rubbed against the bone or something) which
causes
me to hobble about for a few minutes after periods of sitting down. Happy
little Chiro Man has me doing all sorts of torturous (sp?) exercises and
things for it. The only enjoyable one he wrote down was for wayne (DH) to
massage the foot - and DH won't do it! He says I'm perfectly capable of
doing it myself. Hmph!

Good luck and keep us posted

Saw the Orthopedic Surgeon for the first time about double knee
replacement.
I have severe contractures (that's fancy for cain't straighten my legs)
and
we decided to try a new contraption that slowly straightens the legs.
It's
non-invasive and is on the premise of braces for your teeth only the
other
direction...It's quite the interesting looking contraption and I've
already
affectionately named it the "instrument of torture." I control it
myself
and must wear it 1 hour/3 times a day for three weeks and then we'll
see.
It will make the surgeries and post ops/rehabs much easier for both the
Doc
and me if it does work. Will be fitted for it in the next couple of
weeks.
I'll keep you posted. Prayers, good thoughts, healing light, cyber
puppy
kisses, and everything else good would be very welcome!

Please give Sugar Puff my deepest condolences! G Besides it's the thought
that counts (that and Tia probably would have eaten it anyway! BG)

Thanks for the purrs and good thoughts!

That sure would be nice but I haven't any tissue left in there at all so it
would have to be spontaneous tissue regeneration, which I know has happened
but it's usually not the norm. I wish!!!!

Thanks Michele!

Sending you good thoughts and prayers. My SIL was to have a double knee
replacement and after her first knee replacement her other leg/knee
completely lost all its pain. Maybe this will be the case for
you..Michele

Sounds like we have the same understandings.

Yeah, the body is a united system. So when you hurt one place, you tend
to
favor it, whether you realize it or not, and that changes your
posture.....which then hoses up other stuff.

So if you fix things in the order they happened (the first thing you
screwed
up gets fixed first), no telling what that might fix that happened later.

You are welcome. Joe (Alan's dad) had his right knee replaced a week
ago Friday, and is doing remarkably well for a gent in his mid 80's.
They did it using an epidural, and he wanted to watch!
