FB has a total knee replacement site and, yes, the first two weeks post-op are decidedly gnarly. Everyone endures the pain differently. TKR is not a surgery for the faint of heart. Seriously, it IS an amputation of sorts. I thought I knew what to expect for the second knee procedure, but it...
The knees are doing great. It's great to have mobility again. Just have to work on getting my brain back now. I sometimes feel that dealing with soreness that pops up is like a never-ending game of whack-a-mole. Ahh, the joys of being a senior...
Howdy again, Everyone.
I had my second total knee replacement and -- WOW -- it did a number on my brain with incapacitating brain fog. The formulary of meds the second time left me with about a 10-second attention span. I would not recommend two major surgeries in a year. My chances of...
To me, this movie felt very much like watching "Jeremiah Johnson." A quiet loner, a sad life, a negligible footnote of existence. Joel Edgerton was good (but, then, I like whatever he's in) and Bill Macy's star turn was brief but memorable. So glad I'm not a logger. ;)
I watched it, too, having not ever seen it before. My first comment was "This seems like a take on "Death Takes a Holiday" (an old Monte Markham movie from decades ago), although the main premise in that film was that Death falling in love meant he wasn't doing his duties and thusly hospitals...
Watched "The Tank" (a/k/a "The Tiger") on Prime last night, a WWII German-viewpoint film. Kind of a mash-up of "Das Boot" for claustrophobia, "Catch-22" -- without the humor -- for flashbacks, "Apocalypse Now" for the mission, and a strange pivot into "The Sixth Sense" for all the Easter eggs...
I developed it in one of my thumbs after an awkward bout with a garlic press where I actually heard the tendon pop. Steroid injection (twice) and it abated on its own, which is good. Nobody needs a permanent "thumbs up!"...although the permanent bird to flip might be useful. ;)

A craft fair sounds like fun! Do you shop or just browse?
We're headed up to Santa Fe today to acclimate the new dog to Residence #2. Poh is such a gem -- very sweet and intelligent -- and gets along great with the two greyhounds. It's hard to believe he was on the short list for death...
Even with my brand new shiny-on-the-inside knees, I feel the weather. They're either both happy or cranky dependent on the humidity and cloud activity. But at least it's a matched set now. :rolleyes:
Are you contemplating knee replacement?
