Re: RE: Nice People

,

I agree with you. I would like to be remembered as a nice person who just

happened to be sick, not a sick nice person!

I hope that made sense!

I think you are pretty tough too. Boy, girl, stayed awake for the TKR. I

wimped out. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. The first one was a general and the

second knee was an epidural which they had trouble inserting and then the

doctors were fighting and I finally asked to go to sleep. I guess I didn't

want to hear them say, " Oops " or hear the hammering and chiseling and

screwing. Nope, kick sand in my face, I am a wimp!!!!!

I am still striving to be a member in that " HAPPY TKR CLUB " !

I guess I am just taking the long road! Right now I am just thankful that

most of the abdominal pain that I had Saturday night has subsided with the

belladonna. I guess sometimes, the old medications are the best medications.

Gentle, tender, angel hugs to strong people,

Yep, you are definitely a tough lady! I admire you! You will need to give

us wimps lessons on " sucking it up and taking it like " ! LOL....

Debs,

So glad your pain subsided. I had a spinal for the TKR and the THR . I was

fascinated by the knee surgery and managed to separate myself emotionally

from the sounds but when they pushed real hard checking range of motion that

was freaky because I felt it where I wasn't numb. The hip I asked to be

sedated and that's how it started but they brought me out really soon

because I was flailing my arms so had to stay awake-looked once but that's

all. Hey I'm a lady who really enjoys delivering baby goats when an

intervention is needed-that is up to my elbow in a goat's uterus

straightening out baby legs!
