My Turn

Wow excellent progress!

It really has been like we were wandering aimlessly, being randomly pelted and ricocheting this way and that while you were gone. We have been like little pieces of foam pushed and blown aimlessly about the interwebs, like crazy pinballs in a dark, unforgiving game in your absence...

Hi Linda,

Great to hear you've turned that first little corner. Comfortable rest is so elusive and so blissful in the early days!

Take care, enjoy those movies too,

Elusive it is!

Linda,
So glad to hear your surgery went well and you are home. I hope you have a speedy recovery!

Linda
I know what you mean about the meds being ineffective. They are overrated, but we do need them....

Hope you can manage to get some sleep soon.

Linda, how are you doing?

Hi Laurie...

I'm still having a lot of leg pain. I just talked to Dr. Berven, and he's suggesting I start aquatic therapy, which sounds fabulous, so I'm going to start ASAP. My legs are swollen to about twice their size, which I'm sure is contributing to the problem.

Thanks for asking.

I hope the aqua therapy helps - I didn't know you could go in a pool this soon post-op.
I have the leg thing, too. . .I used to have such nice little ankles. . .now. . .ugh!

How are "The Days and Nights if Linda Racine" going? Getting some reasonable stetches of sleep?

Day and nights if (and only if?) Linda Racine? That sounds very metaphysical. (smiley face)

Legs

Hi Laurie...

Why are your legs swollen? Mine did that too, and I was told that it's caused by all the blood I was given. And that it is so much part water or something,and it causes water retention. Anyway, they gave me water pills. I took one and that pretty much took care of the swelling. I just did what they told me. Good Luck Linda.

Okay, haven't been checking the "revision" section regularly and totally missed that you were having surgery, Linda! So glad to hear it went well. You are our fearless leader, after all!!!

I will be sending good thoughts your way. Try watching "The Hangover."
