hi Jimhd & Amberpep - This is so true about our children and actually even my husband. They all think we are invincible! Most of the time, between having back and leg pain from a bulging disk, degenative disc and arthritis I even wonder how we all do it. I think they are so use of us doing it- I know they care but when we don't cook or do laundry, they just don't understand. Sometimes, I just come home and say I'm going to bed -I get so tired. Thank you for sharing!

@pkindrom, thanks for the info and photos. I presume your response was to my message. This whole thing, despite having a renowned ortho surgeon, is scary because if it ends up as bad as the first is, from a different ortho, then I will be miserable. Plus, as I said right now I am not ready for yet another recuperation after the two months of recuperation from my transplant. I try to be very active doing pool exercises and my recumbent bike and I know those will have to go by the wayside for a while.

Hi pkindron .........Oh wow, you sure said a mouthful! You are 100% right! No matter what ever happened to me, from pnemococcal pneumonia (my Dr. wanted me to go to the hospital, but I said "I'd be taken care of at home" .... HAHAHA), to torn ligaments in my ankle which he watched closely and kept cast in case I needed surgery, to flu, intestinal flu ....... you name it ..... my now X always went to work saying .....
"oh, you'll be OK, the kids will help." Now this was during the school year and they were gone, plus they were 8, 7, and one was not even born yet! Invincible? I don't think so. You are right on.
