Things you wish you could say

Wish I could say ... I am not laid up with a torn meniscus and probably also a torn ACL ...
although, to count my blessings, I do have an adult granddaughter living at home to take care of me, bc I would be up the river in a stone boat with a feather for a paddle without her!
Ouch. I've had and ACL repair and the knee will never be the same.

Thanks, Bee, this does not surprise me. I've had a repair on one shoulder for being "frozen," and surgery on the other for torn rotator cuff, and neither is 100% again. Shoot, I can't even open pickle jars any more ... or even a soda or water bottle! I guess I have to consider myself "feeble," lol. Thankful at this point I have loved ones to care for me. Wish they didn't have to, but ... 🤷‍♀️
 
Bee, will I be able to take care of my chickens again?
Oh, yes. I'm able to do normal stuff just fine. Going up hills and stairs is fine, going down them I have to be a bit careful. I'll never to martial arts seriously again, but I can do every day things with no trouble.

Make sure to be diligent about your physical therapy. I found out AFTER my surgery that physical therapy wasn't covered, so I went to one session, got all of the exercises that I was supposed to do, and did them every day on my own. That's why I have full mobility on my knee now.

Thanks for this! :hugs
