"From the time I walked in to the time I walked out it was only two hours. No pain whatsoever."
That's a comfort to hear. Glad it went so well for you. |

Dirty. I swallowed my political views to keep peace with a customer and I'm very bothered by it. More so than usual, anyway.

Deeply sad, and tired, yet unable to sleep due to troubled thoughts. I'm grieving and going through all the motions, like preparing for the celebration of life memorial service, and responding to phone calls and texts. I'm also cleaning my house like crazy, and I'm exhausted when I drop into bed at 8 pm. I'm so, so thankful for all the people who have contacted me with offers of comfort and support. I have shamelessly and gratefully accepted their help, delegating tasks like a pro.
I'm hanging in there.

I’m feeling amazed! I had my second cataract surgery. amazed! I had my second cataract surgery. Now both eyes can see perfectly, except for reading! I still have a lot of floaters, really big bold black floaters in my left eye, but my right eye is completely clear. I’m still amazed that after 60 years of wearing glasses, I only have to wear them now to read!

On the road to recovery
Really good. So glad I got both knees replaced.
Had the left knee replaced 10 weeks ago today and the right one replaced 3 weeks ago today. Stitches/bandages have been removed and am going to out-patient therapy. I drive myself to PT. It’s 3 blocks away and I only take Tylenol (no cannabis nor Percocet) before driving. So far, so good. They used the Mako Protocol to replace both knees and I’m amazed at how well things went. With both knees I was released from the hospital the next day. I had neighbors and family to help when I was released from the hospital after replacing the left knee, but I was able to take care of myself without any help after replacing the right knee. I had in-home PT for the first two weeks and outpatient after that. I start and end the day by elevating my feet above my heart for one hour. That helps to keep the swelling down. And I ice the left knee throughout the day. It is wonderful to take a shower without losing my balance. My knees were so knocked that I had to negotiate how to stand erry damn time I got in the shower or stood on my weight scale! No more, baby. I’ve lost about 15 lbs because I cannot eat when I’m on the pain pills. I try to have at least a bowl of soup and a green smoothie when on the pain pills. I’m not concerned there’s any underlying condition. I know my body pretty well and everything is working as it should. I’ll see the surgeon at the end of the month and will discuss with him. I still miss riding my bike and am looking forward to riding again after my PT approves it. Things could be worse.

Good. Had PT this morning. The two people I work with are very good. Most times I feel better when I leave PT than when I arrived and the good feelings last. Surgeon and PTs are please with the progress. I'm a bit impatient and want things to hurry along.
I still have swelling and numbness, but not much pain. It took me awhile to get used to the numbness. I couldn't even touch it at first. Now I can massage it and I do that a few times a day. I alternate riding my bike and walking, and have just started walking up stairs. I haven't walked up a flight of stairs in years and now I'm really, really feeling it in my glutes each time I climb the stairs. The weirdest thing is when I get an itch in a numb area. I scratch, but it doesn't help. Ugh. That almost drove me cray-cray a couple weeks ago, but it's not so bad now. Overall, I'm good.

Sad. It's Pride Month and the stories that have popped up on my feed lately are about our members being attacked. At parades. At local government meetings. At work.
We're not safe anywhere and it feels like the good no longer outweighs the bad. |

It’s not even the middle of June, and I’ve been grossly insulted by stupid jokes about Juneteenth and pride month by two of my local friends on Facebook. I had no idea, but either one of them were capable of such actions, let alone belief system. Both of them said that he didn’t mean anything by it, but they were just jokes.
I am feeling insulted, frustrated, just disappointed, and betrayed. I publicly lit into them. These people know who I am and everything I stand for. Why did they think they could be my friends? Do they think, seriously think, that I want to be friends with people who held beliefs like this? Did they not see the harm they do by telling jokes like this, and passing them off as innocent because they’re “just jokes”?
