Good Morning,

LB, Fingers still crossed for your A/C. Good news about setting up a plan, PT and strengthening muscles prior to surgery. I've read that's important before knee replacement and afterwards. Yes you will push through it and be so much better.
Aww to Copper. He's lucky to have you. Good though you make him have shorter walks.

Phyl, How are you feeling today? All better yet? Jim? Maggie? 
I really like your last night photo. This morning's is cute.


Still in high 90s here. Since Monday some schools have had virtual learning or shortened days. Others with A/C have full days.
Today's to be last day in 90s then storms and cooler temps.

We're heading to cabin in a bit. Large shed to be delivered tomorrow between two trees. That's area I was helping clear sawed off branches etc when I tripped on root.
Will be interesting watching this truck w/wide load turn, drive up long S shaped driveway then back in between trees.

This weekend interior doors to be hung up too hopefully by the guys.

Me? I'll be sitting on front porch or staying inside cabin. Not walking around outside anywhere! 
I'll use Voltaren Gel on both knees and wrist before we leave. Have to use a step stool for now getting in/out of Jeep.
I still can't drive but I'll get there eventually. Thumbs up!

I'll try to keep in touch from cabin. Last time was so busy I didn't even turn it on but should be able to now if internet cooperates.

Everyone take care. Later ...

This place is full of liars!!! First they were waitinng  to hear back from the contractors.  Now today They had to order a part and it came in so now they need to contact the contractors to make an appointmnet Definitly not today maybe tomorrow is what they said I feel it wont be tomorrow. I threatened to deduct a weeks worth of rent They adviced me not to do that  hmmmph   OH on the bright side When I was talking to the medical director yesterday he looked up the records for my surgery.  He   saw a 33 page document documenting why they should approve the robotic surgery. so we'll see!!!!

Paulie, my fther said he read an article too about pt to strengthen the musces for the surgery  I knew that fro mmy old orthopedic dr.   I wonder why this surgeon doesnt require it.  But he does support it.  bee nin 90's all week myabe only 88 tomorrow with storms. 

[paulie]

LB, So sorry to hear no A/C repair yet. Your frustration is 100% understandable. Good for you honestly trying to deduct  some $ from your rent. You tried.
Wow awesome to 33 page doc stating valid reasons for robotic surgery!

Aww to your father reading up about your upcoming knee replacement.
My orthopedic didn't mention doing PT to strengthen muscles either when he initially suggested knee replacement. I read that on my own. It makes sense to strengthen those muscles so glad you'll be doing that.

Your upcoming storms should drop your temps. They did in PA today at home and this afternoon and tonight at the cabin. You have lower temps to look forward to.

We made it to cabin safely. Took longer because we drove through a heck of a storm.
I'm behaving myself and have been sitting on front porch and doing minimal inside.
Family is planning to come here tomorrow after work and school. Will have a full cabin and bedrooms this weekend. Looking forward to it.

Hi Phyl and jicaji

You better sit and relax Paulie!! Isnt that the purpose of the cabin in the woods??   Your orthopedic will probably mention it when you decide to have the surgery. My surgeon doesnt require it which I am surpised but he is definitly for it!!  He told me I dont hav to but he thinks good idea and if I want I can  THts the one thing I wasnt so siure about him . This week has gotten me so exhausted maybe today it will get fixed?? Idoubt it  Why do I stay here

{{{LB}}} certainly understand  your frustrations about AC. Don't know what to say---keep hammering

Hi Paulie and jicaji glad you arrived safely at your cabin paulie. Ditto LB 'relax" there!

[paulie]

Good Afternoon 

LB, TGIF for you!! Ditto to what Phyl said to you about your A/C. I'll add God bless you because it's been so hot.
Yes ma'am to relaxing. True cabins are for relaxing but still have a few finishing touches to do before allll done.
You're right my ortho Dr will probably suggest muscle strengthening beforehand.

I don't usually eat breakfast. Here at cabin today I made myself bacon, eggs, toast, orange juice and coffee.
Geesh! Must be the fresh mountain air.

Phyl, Are the BB's of Cane Ridge okay? You are I are saying 'ditto' today .. ditto queens. lol

Waiting for shed delivery now. Sitting on front porch! 

Family arrives later today and tomorrow morning so I probably won't be posting much or none when they arrive.
If not enjoy the weekend. Take care.

So after calling the office to my apartment complex EVERY DAY for the past 7 days. I finally got a straight answer that the part they need is back ordered!!! AFTER  they told me in came in yesterday. But I did  get an extra portable AC for the bedroom now that it's going to get cooler starting tonight after the storm.  The one office manager called back and saying  the part will be here Tuesday and hopefully the contractor will come tuesday worse case scenerio  Wednesday  Sigh.

I think having all the lies and being played as a fool all week is more aggrevating than the AC being broken!!!!! Actually I think I am more pissed about the runaround all week . 

PT!!!!  They will be focusing on making my hips stronger.  They are week and do help with the kneesa and th ability to bend them.  He says I have good strength in my knees so we will be working on getting them to bed by going up  and down steps (little 1 step thingy) I have 3 new exercises to do art home easyones. He will concentrate on the harder ones when he is there to supervise.  He also told me what to expect after surgery.  Basically, there will be PAIN!! Lots of pain especially the firt few weeks and when I go to PT and they manipulate the knee to get it to bend.  He said the first day or 2 may not be painful because they will probably inject me with a nerve block that will last a day or 2.  I am so glad for the honesty.  But thats all I have been hearing how horrible the recovery is because of the paon  So different from my achielles surgery. There was no Pian but I could walk for pretty much a month or so.  I was using scooter to get around.  and crawling up steps and going down the stairs by butt.  That was a very interesting time.   

The house especially by bedroom is so much cooler now that I have that 2nd portable in bedroom. I just  hope I sleep good tonight!!! Copper is getting a bath tomorrow. Takinng him to Pet smart. I hope he behaves   Hiis scratching isnt as badand he may enjoy the bath because when I scratch his body he loves it 

[LBLNJ0668]

Good morning, slept a little better but not wonderful.     I hope everyone has a good weekend 

[jicaji]

Hi everyone...

Lots of thunder storms in the area for the next few days.  Still don't know if Hurricane Lee will make it here during the week.  Hope not.
I worry about my hummingbirds aka fairies, which are still feeding here.

LB....My friend had some "discomfort" after her knee replacements, but the discomfort was manageable each time according to her.  She did have some pain meds for about a week, but that's it.   

Glad you have some a/c .  The temps here and humidity have really been high.  Glad you slept better last night.

Paulie,  as LB said, RELAX this weekend.  Your breakfast sounds delish.  I never ate breakfast, only on vacation, but now that I've been retired, I LOVE it.  No need to rush through.

Hi Phyl

So now that my back is getting better, my husband hurt his back.  I've been doing stuff that he can't do and of course, now my back hurts.  Cannot win....He's been going to the chiropractor for the past two weeks, twice a week.

Hopefully Hurricane Lee will pass out to sea.  Be safe guys.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend

[Phyl]

Hopefully I can figure this all out.

Hi So this weekend I was doing my typical worrying.  Of course it was about my surgery.  I was thinking what if my back starts up with me while I am recovering from my knee surgery and I have trouble walking because of my back .  So I went to PT today and I was waiitng to do my PT  The chiropractor came out to get me.  I asked what he was doinf am I doing chiro?  He said, "You didn't know?  He said the dr suggested and put me on the schedule for chiropriactic as well for my back.  They think it's wise to continue with chiro  for my back to keep those muscles going to prevent a any kind of back issue while I am recovering from my knees!!!! Ar3ent they wonderful!!!! I loe them more each time I see them. LOL     

[paulie]

Good Morning  Have returned from cabin.

LB, It's Tuesday so hoping the AC part arrives and installed today rather than tomorrow. Cooler temps are to begin tomorrow and continuing through weekend. Just when your AC gets repaired. That's what I call "Murphy's Law!"

About your PT .. Excellent they are having you make your hips stronger and now chiro for your back! That's great!!

How did it go for you getting both flu and covid shots together?

Poor Cooper. Darn it to him not getting bathed. I didn't know groomers wouldn't do that with pets heart murmur.

Yay to Virgin River!! Thanks!

jicaji, How's your weather looking now about the hurricane?

Nice that your Hummers are still feeding!! It's always sad to watch their activity get less and less.
Mine here at home have migrated on. Had one or two migrators pass through.
Migration at the cabin began too. During the summer the front porch was like grand central station some days. So cool. This past weekend saw 2 then only 1. 

Good to hear your friend's pain/discomfort after knee replacements was manageable.

How is your husband's back pain?! You be careful with your back now that you're doing more!!

Phyl, How's your PC issue? Not fixed yet I'm guessing. I hope it is soon for you.

Puff, I remember taking typing class!!

Quotes: Yesterday #2 and Lol at #3

They guys got 4 of the 7 interior doors hung last weekend. Shed was delivered too. Watching that flatbed truck back up the long winding driveway was interesting. The driver made it look so easy. Not his first rodeo.

Darn it. I just tried posting pics of doors but msg said file too big. I don't know how to make smaller?
