Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

Sorry I didn't reply earlier. I went to bed shortly after this post. We have been gone all day; had to take the new weed whacker back to Home Depot to have the Ryobi sales rep show Pa how to change the heads. Come to find out the attachment we had wasn't designed for that model. We bought a smaller one that the special attachment does fit. I'm doing fine as long as I don't get to hot. Definitely need the oxygen when I'm outside in the heat. Pa is still having some issues with his back but I think he feels a little better. How are you? Taking your meds?

weed whipping is how I had my Stemi . Its more strenuous then people think. I haven't done that since and boy does it show! LOL Ryobi is a good brand.
I am taking all my meds. then some.. I found some peridium that expired a couple months ago. IDK if it will help or not as I haven't needed to go.
I think its supposed to cool down a little here tomorrow

Don’t assume any dr is God

What's the difference between God and a surgeon?

God knows He isn't a surgeon.

PT kicked my backside today. Threw 2 new exercises at me, another 30 minutes of deep muscle massage. When I mentioned about the pain I was having with my exercises at home, he told me to expect that. It wasn't going to NOT hurt.

Feel tired and discouraged at the moment. Know the PT is helping me but in spite of the progress they keep telling me I'm making, the pain is wearing me out. DH suggested taking a break but I can't see that as being feasible as I'm so stiff and sore in the mornings that the only thing that loosens me up is the PT routine.

Okay, sigh, B***h fest over for the day, think I'll go do some exercises.

I don't! That's the way some of them think about themselves. I believe you can be in tune with your own body and know more/better of what's wrong than anyone else could know

Oh ok you were being facetious

The old saying "if it hurts don't do it" doesn't apply to PT. I know when I had my knee replacements I thought they were going to kill me but it was worth it in the end. My advice is to take you PP before therapy (I know you already are), rest when you can and do all things in moderation. You will survive! and be better than ever.

We get Walmart brand cranberry juice sugar free and it's not bad but takes getting used to. I also drink a lot of water every day. Frequent urination also helps to prevent UTI. Empty bladder doesn't grow bad bacteria.

I drink a lot of electrolytes

I really like this brand.

Umm... Is that a good thing?

I was at the orthopedist today. He doesn't want to do any shots or anything else right now. My egfr was pretty low and the creatinine was high(kidney function) He said to use ice but no pain pills right now because of my kidneys. I'm allowed to work anything that doesn't bother my knee.

It looks like a big knob on my knee cap. The whole knee isn't swollen, just the knee cap. Looks like an elbow sticking out of my knee. He said my bone structure is really really good.
I'm happy with everything except I need to change my diet for my kidneys. Yikes!

I don't know Granny. Facetious can mean silly, sarcastic, goofy... or a little bit of all of the above.

@microchick, I get it. PT does hurt. And not only that but it really wears you out! I had mine yesterday and I'm never any good afterward, half an hour of PT, two hour nap!
