..and knee surgery. We're in the same boat......bad knees. So I finally
decided to undertake the inevitable........knee replacement surgery. May 18 was
the big day. It ain't fun, but the results are worth it if your knee hurts when
you climb steps, jump up and down (I quit trying that a long time ago), or just
simple stuff like carrying luggage, groceries, or climbing a hill in Brazil to
get to that beautiful deserted beach you've heard so much about!! It was four
weeks ago today, and I can definitely do steps much better, as well as carrying
loads of groceries and bargains from flea markets and thrift shops. Maybe I can
get back to Brazil this fall and check out a new place I've heard about. But be
prepared for two to three weeks of limited mobility while you are recovering
from surgery, and you better have somebody to help you get around.......and
prepare the ice packs. Oh, and the most obvious thing...........only do one
knee at a time!!
