Patience is a virtue. LOL.

Sue....that is what I have been saying for years......"No more surgeries." " Don't fall down mountains, don't sign up for walking adventures and then lag behind. Act your age."

So...I have just had orthopedic surgery #14 and I have no more knees. However, I am getting ready for the second "thumb" surgery in a few weeks. I can't even open jars anymore. Of course, it is the right thumb, my dominant one. I have been putting it off because I don't want to need personal hygiene help during recovery. Oh well.......one more and that is truly going to be it.

Good for you already walking......I think you are the best surgery role model I have ever had.
My best,
Chris

PS....do you know what type of thumb surgery is the best. My other one was "anchovy".

@sueinmn, @loribmt, @artscaping, and all...I think that's definitely a full day's work and more...did you prepare all the dinner? You've got me beat, lady. I could do a couple of blocks with my walker, but laundry is really tough for me, the lifting and heavy wet things, etc. It's a 2-3 day job, 1 load. pitiful. Oh, well, I'll just wear the same things over and over? nope, but cooking-I love the Publix deli and prepared healthy meals. I put them in the oven for 30-40 minutes.
Hey, I just got Grammarly activated on my Windows 10. Didn't know about it, but it's like 'spell ck' and not so bad. Helps me, remember, we had a conversation a few months ago about spelling, etc.? Fixes punctuation, sp., grammar...love it!
sue, you are doing so well so give yourself a break. Relax and let your body heal, my friend. One tiny step. I prefer not to consider its patience, as I'm not very, but Lori is right. So, I'm missing a virtue. Join me as my virtueless friend.
Love and blessings, and good, healthy days. elizabeth
