I hope everyone is well. Graham , I’m sorry to “ hear “ your latest news of your office visit . My husband wasn’t hesitant about getting his knees replaced and I’m glad he did it sooner than later . Both of us are not getting any younger . He is doing very well thanks to his brilliant surgeon . The staff of 7 who attended him sent him a nice greeting card wishing him a speedy recovery. Nice gesture from a large hospital. Wishing you well ! Edited April 20, 2023 by NHProud 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJSailors Posted April 20, 2023 #91352 Share Posted April 20, 2023 @Ozark_Kid I found this in the reply section and I am not sure if it was ever sent, so I hit submit again. Still wishing you hope,peace and good days. @George C Kitchen Reno’s are not for the faint of heart! We have done two plus a family room, laundry and bathroom addition with screened porch and deck. It takes time, patience and $$$$! Hang in there! @grapau27 Graham-very good idea to have appropriate exercises to do for your hip situation. It may help in your future recovery to strengthen the muscles. supporting your hips etc. A golfing friend of mine had both hips done at the same time which was very successful for her. She followed all the Dr’s directives and that helped her tremendously. Wishing you a good outcome. MJ🙋🏻♀️ 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corfu - we rented a small car right at the pier, and drove all over the island, beautiful. Mykonos - one and done. Kusadasi -- we went a bit just outside the terminal and negotiated & rented a taxi just to take us to Ephesus and back, no shopping stops. Rhodes -- the old city is a short walk from the pier, we enjoyed the atmosphere, sitting at a busy cafe. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m also happy to learn that your hubby is showing improvement. After only 6 days after surgery Steve was in the kitchen cooking spareribs, potatoes and corn and it was only after loud protests from me did he sit down. I told on him and he was scolded by the physical therapist. PT is coming today for the 5th house visit and then 1 more home visit then outpatient.

Should be enough for my kindle, laptop, medication, phone, wallet, eyeglass case, etc., etc. Our daughter booked the tickets, and we had no idea how restrictive they were. Tickets were $214 p/p round trip so we really can't complain. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never lost my Brooklyn accent.Whenever people meet me for the first time they know I am from NY.If they ever lived in NYC they can tell that I lived in Brooklyn.The classic story about a Brooklyn accent is my friend Ira who lived in a small town in Georgia for 50 years.He taught English in a HS with his Brooklyn accent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're good with only the personal item. Jack has a backpack and since my last post he found one for me as well. Both within personal item guidelines. Works well for both of us. Actually, I prefer that than having to "shlep" a small wheelie in addition to a handbag. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
