Yep, Paulie, I had a chart with dates for the drops for each eye for Camper. But before he was finished with the second eye, he had to restart drops for the first eye. And I put the drops in for him.
I hope I don't need mine done for a while.

Hi Tig Sounds like you and I are chart with dates and times people. I do the same thing. Only way I keep things organized. I do the same for Charlie's meds too.

Depending on my next eye surgery next month will determine if I'm doing both eye drops. Probably. I'm sure that kept you and Camper busy. The hours in between doing drops goes fast.

Question: Why did Camper have to restart drops in his first eye? Did you do the drops to be sure they went into eye?

True to hopefully you don't need it done for a while.

Hi Phyl! LB didn't have cataract surgery. She's prepping to have her other knee replaced already! Wow right!!

Thank you about my cataract surgery and Charlie's leg healing. He had a wound appt this morning. They did some intensive work .. Ugh!!  then applied ointment and gauze wrapped leg. It's coming along with healing. Good!

Awesome you got your first of three Euflezxxa knee gel injections!! Good for you. I hope it helps you a lot.
A suggestion the first 24 to 48 hours don't over exert yourself/knee. Allow the gel to settle in nicely.
Yes I just finished my final Euflexxa injection. This will be my third round of every 6 month injections. they help me a lot! I resumed mowing my lawn for a while until I found someone else to. And I've resumed my morning and evening walks.

I really hope you get relief and your knee feels better. Please let me know. Keep me updated.

I hope Jim and Maggie are good.

Hi LB, Oh geez you're in office for 2 weeks. Good you've got a half then full day off for appointments. That helps.

Paulie,
If I recall... A pressure problem??

[paulie]

Hi Tig, Okay That makes sense. How are your issues at home doing? Getting better I hope. How's your knee been?

LB, I hope you sleep better tonight.


Weather forecast for my area is rain tonight and tomorrow. Both my knees are feeling the weather. When I did my evening walk I found a really cool beat semi fast music so I decided to do my entire walk to it. Stubborn me was determined. I did but when I got home and went inside (remember I live in a bi-level  ugh) I went to the nearest chair and fell into it.  LOL

Hi,   LOng day long weeek.  Today went slow

[camperstig]

Knees are... Knees
Just sitting here watching a baseball game and listening to my heart skip beats in my tinnitus...

[Phyl]

LB - Oh gee. Sorry about the mistake.    On the knee surgery.  I hope all goes well. You're in my prayers.

Paulie  Good news on Charlie's poor leg-glad to hear it's healing. My 48hrs will be up4:30Pm  tomorrow or today as it's past 12.
This afternoon I'll start my PT for my knees and r. leg. Not--- sure how long for. Oh well. We'll see. LOL

[paulie]

Good Morning 

LB, Yesterday being slow means work has slowed up maybe? How's your brother ... still in hospital or in rehab now?

Tig, True to knees but sure helps when not hurting so much.

Oh! You have tinnitus! Charlie does too

I remember you mentioning your arrhythmia when my oldest son was diagnosed. Do you take a med for it?

My heavens .. I hope you relaxed watching the baseball game.

Phyl, Thanks about Charlie. Good your gel injection has been settling in.

You're starting PT for both your knees? And right leg? Does this have to do with the fall you had when you tripped on rug in bedroom?
That's when you injured your nose though, correct?
Wishing you the best with PT.

Did Jim ever get another car? I just remembered that.


I'm wishing everyone a pleasant and 'safe' day!   

[Phyl]

Good Morning...

LB glad work slowed a bit; hope your brother is doing well

Paulie  Yes. PT for both knees and right leg 'cuz it's weak I sometimes stumble because of it. Yes. The fall I had in guest room
was from  that weak leg and a  wrinkled throw rug...l turned and somehow got tangled in it  fell into the door frame and broke my nose that was this past October and my nose still hurts.
Jim did replace his old Pontiac with a 2020 Ford Fusion.

Jim called me from work to say after he's off at 1pm, Doc set up a lung scan because he's been coughing for the past 10days...not very productive.
 I fret so. But relieved he's doing 'something' and has seen his doc

Tks for the good wishes. Do we all need them.

[paulie]

Phyl, Ouch! I do remember all of that.

Thanks for explaining your PT. I'm sure you will be very diligent in strengthening your knees and right leg. That's important.

Good about Jim's Ford Fusion. I know you're happy having your car back. 

Very good Jim's Dr set up lung scan. Very good. Let us know what the results are. I just said a prayer for good news test results for Jim.

LB, Hope you had a good day today. It's still a bit early so maybe you'll check in yet tonight.

good evening Is it Friday yet?    Hi Paulie, hes' still in hospital. I got in contact with case worker and social worker cuase my nephew dropped the ball.  I gave them th enames of rehabs to get hi into out top 3 choices. glad I did.because mt nephew dropped the ball big time gave them no info or wrong info.   I am not sure if he is ready for rehab. when I saw him he was so dooped up on morphine.  I cant gt to him until friday I will need to talk to nurse about the morphine, maybe lesson it.  so much has happened in th epast few weeks.  dont know what I said or not said I know mostly I didnt say.  cause I would be typing non stop still.  All I know I am happy when I am working.   Thats my happy place these days unless when I get to walk.   I cant believe my surgery is coming up so fast. they called today to review some things with me.  Very efficient practice.  I am so nervous more so becaus eof my brother. what if something hppens to him when I cant drive and cant get to him.  I see his kids are useless. and they are not even kids they are adults!!!!! good nigt

[paulie]

Good Morning,

LB, You are definitely overwhelmed. Understandable. Kudos to you for providing the correct rehab info for your brother.
Why so much morphine? His mouth is still very sore?

Sounds like life has been hectic for you 24/7 the past weeks. The work place does become peoples happy space at times of intense stress. Good you have work and also enjoy your walks a lot. Good.

What is the date of your surgery?

You're a good sister worrying about your brother while you recover but your father will be able to help. And you can always correspond with your brother, his doctors and nurses by phone.
You have to take care of you too. ((LB))

Hi Paulie.  The  problem is hat the doctors dont call back!!!!we cant get in touch with anyone. we have to be at the hospital at the right time to catch up with them while they are making their rounds.  The social worker called me agian keeping us updated she is waiting on biopsy results and she will contact us if she hears anything since th doctors never call us and we dont know when they will show up.  Yes we are very frustrated.  MY brother has had his phonein sleep mode so we  cant get in tuch with him.   Today it was fixed but who know sif he will put it back without knowing. I called and he doesnt answr!!! Morhoine. Pain  I have no idea where the last i heard bed sore is painful .mouth is still bad.  I spoke with the social worker about himm being on too much morphine he is very confused.    she will tak to th doctors.   SO many different issues going on I owuldnt knnow where to begin.   the dr is an idiot the social worer will rleay our messages to him.   

My surgery oct 15,   ALready wspoke with one of the nurses to go over things with me.  wow!!!!! I am goin gto have home pt for 5 days the first week.  Then 3 the 2nd thne I do outpatient.   I only had  3 visits each week with the last dr.   I need prepping food.   or get already made meals.   I am makking lasagna. and meatloaf.  I think thats it.  I have soup I made  in freezer  I think 1/2 the lasagn will go to my bothers kids not sure why they dont deserve it..  LOL   But I cant save and eat a whole lasagna.  How long can you freeze it for.   I think I am going to buy a ppiza pie and freeze the slizes I can only eat one. so that is 8 meals .  I think I need a drink tonight.   LOL

[paulie]

Good Morning,

LB, I understand better now your frustrations trying to communicate with doctors for info. Very good the social worker will help to keep you informed. Good!! Same with your brother not answering when you call him. Frustrating for sure for you. Morphine use understood now too.

Thanks for your knee surgery date. You know what to expect now since you had other done already.
You're going to different hospital, correct? I remember you not liking the other one. Nice to your PT schedule. Your prep foods sound tasty. Another thing I remember was you had chicken waiting for you when you returned home from your last knee surgery. 

Heck with everything going on in your life an adult beverage sounds in order!
