Granny's gone and done it again

[BigBlueHen53]

I imagine your there by now. Let us know how its going.

In my next post ...

So much pain right now.

So sorry, Granny.

Yes they are. I should really call them LOL And I like those sayings

CALL THEM. If they're 24/7, call them now. That's what they are there for. Don't suffer all night. Girl! Make the call.

Thanks. Yeah, it’s funny because I can call doctor’s offices, the vet, etc. on my own now (well, for a while now) or talk to them if they call me but yet this… IDK. This is different. Harder. I think because it involves feelings/emotions/mental health and I’ve always stuffed everything down until fairly recently and still do a lot

Is it because you don't want to be a bother? Or because it's hard to admit you need help? I know for me, it went against my pride. Who, ME? Need help? Pfft! I'm strong! I take care of everybody around me! I can do anything! I'm Queen of the Universe! Admit I need help? But yeah. This is me. My brain is doing weird things, thinking weird, scary thoughts and it won't stop. Somebody ... make it stop! Before I hurt myself. Yeah, I needed help. And if you're thinking weird thoughts, so do you. Make the call. You're not alone.

Spoiler

I keep thinking stupid stuff.

Maybe staff can help me call someone tomorrow LOL not necessarily be ON the call but just helping me get the nerve to do it.

Make the call. You can do it.

Im gonna say Gnight, Hope everyone has a good sleep. No Blue today, a little odd

Sorry, Granny. You'll see why in a bit.

So. My ortho in Cape sent me to a bone specialist in St Louis. They took x-rays of both knees, six (or eight?) angles. And I got to look at them, even took pics of them with my phone camera. So it made sense to me and I could understand WHY when she told me, basically .. I need a knee replacement. I'm not bone-on-bone, but if you look at this pic you'll see two sharp protrusions in the middle of the knee. Yeah, that's arthritis. That's what hurts. It won't go away. And it makes me a candidate for a replacement. It was a lot to think about. Oh and oh yeah. She says if not Prolia, I need to be on SOMETHING to strengthen my bones. So I've been pondering that, too. Along with when to schedule this surgery. August sometime, I guess. Melissa and I will both be laid up. Or ... take turns? Sigh. A lot to think about.

Good night, my friends. See y'all tomorrow, where once again we will join for a little tea and sympathy, lol.

Good Morning Granny Land. The new recruits are doing fine. The shoulder kid is still not wanting to play with his peers but must have time with us daily. He is terrified of the great outdoors we are trying to introduce him too. Got to do the chores that I can with seem to be getting harder and harder to do. The shot I got Sunday morning is already wearing off. Really need that epidural now. Need to argue with insurance about them wanting me to have 6 weeks of PT first. PT will not fix spondilosis.

So sorry to hear that. But maybe once you know what is actually wrong, you can do something and be able to get on with life. I don't mean to be cruel when I say that, but I get more frustrated not knowing then knowing and doing something about it.

Morning all, Hope everyone is having a good day.
Blue, That sounds scary but I haven't heard anything but good reviews on that knee replacement. Lots of PT after .

Boys just left to grocery shop. Banks computer is down so I hope they will cash a check for him. If not we are kinda screwed.
Still trying to figure a way to get Tom and myself into the Drs. tomorrow

When managing spondylosis, it's crucial to avoid activities that strain the spine. Specifically, this includes avoiding high-impact exercises, repetitive twisting or bending motions, prolonged sitting or standing in poor posture, and heavy lifting, especially with improper form

I had to Google it @Nomadicus It says there are 3 stages. Do you know where your at?

• Early stage — Starts with pain and stiffness in the low-back and hips. ...
• Progressive stage — Pain and stiffness move up into higher regions and the neck. ...
• Advanced stage — Spinal bones may begin to fuse on their own.
• I'm so sorry.
