Duh! Saturday, February 09, 2013



A lovely find. So is the Bernina that we didscovered didn’t work quite right until after we sold it.


It was a lovely day in the pool and at work. Everyday lately has been good. All but one thing. Probably because I walk less, it has become harder for me to move around. Or the other way around. So I sit…which of course compounds the problem.

At work I have a comfy chair to sort books…and I did get them all priced yesterday. When I sort, I have a tall chair and a matching stool for my wonky leg. Both work well. At home I have a stool for my work in the kitchen. I can’t say I’m excited about this adaptation. The cold weather front has not been kind to me either. Lately, if I can’t get somewhere easily, I don’t go.

I called my GP and made an appointment.

“I think you will find a vast improvement,” the Geester said this morning. “You’ll get your mobility back.” And I thought he didn’t notice.

Yeah, I’m scared witless and not looking forward to the anesthetic or the nursing home. Well then, why am I looking forward instead of staying in the now.

Duh!




  • Keeping those on the east coast in my thoughts.

  • Himself: ”Peachy Keeney.”

  • Herself: Taking two Tylenol and go to an estate sale. Looking forward to an art opening tonight.

  • Reading: Nothing.

  • Balance: Laughter works every time.




Stop projecting. Stay in the now. The new hip will be a good thing.

Muchas Smuchas

Amen to Geezer's comment. It's time... You'll do great and wonder why you waited so long to have it fixed. Keep us posted! [Tehachap] 2/9/2013 12:03:14 PM
My motherinlaw had numerous joint replacements and practically enjoyed them. She had the best attitude of anyone I ever knew. I'll send you some good motherinlaw vibes to help things along.  [woman in the moon] 2/9/2013 12:05:22 PM
Boy, do I understand what you're saying. You sound like me --stool in the kitchen -- hardly moving. Actually, I know you move more than me if you're going to an estate sale.  [pb reader] 2/9/2013 12:21:04 PM
You'll feel so much better! The important thing is to do the follow-up physical therapy. [gel] 2/9/2013 12:44:49 PM
I've been a big fan of having a stool in the kitchen for years now...Kay  2/9/2013 12:50:48 PM

I felt better a few hours after my hip replacement than I had been feeling for the previous year. It gave me my life back. And my sleep. [Elan] 2/9/2013 4:18:27 PM

That screen would go nicely with my lamps. Alas! No room!

I've known several people who had had hop replacements and they all are so thankful for having it done.  [Tornado]

Certainly sounds like it's time. [BonnieRose] 2/9/2013 8:34:51 PM
Is there any form of exercise you can do to relieve this issue? I have to have very high insoles or my knees give out. And when my hips got real bad shape I went to a sports doctor. I hope you don't have to have surgery. But if you do nowadays it's pretty simple. You and I will remember when it was a bad horrible operation. And that is not the case anymore. [oulin] 2/9/2013 9:32:29 PM

I'm glad you are going to the doctor so you can avoid that future you don't want to get to. [LightButHearty] 2/10/2013 3:57:50 PM
My crystal ball shows a much more mobile, pain-free life ahead for you. The operation has worked for many, many others, so it should work for you, too. [Arbi] 2/11/2013 5:34:34 PM
I'm back with internet after two weeks' vacation in Palm Springs Cal. I gather you're having hip replacement? Nothing to fear...I know many people who have had them, some even twice. They recommend them. [TrilliumZen] 2/20/2013 3:25:48 PM
