Welcome!

If you are new to Total Knee Replacement recovery I suggest that you read from the bottom up (starting July 2011). As I get further into recovery it becomes more about the new ME rather than the new KNEE! I hope you enjoy this blog and I welcome all your comments!

DUH!!!!!!!!!!




Just a funny story about how best of intentions....

I usually track on eTools, but thought I would try paper for a while.  Sometimes I feel "disembodied" when I use the computer, and feel more involved when I use pen and paper - plus with a paper journal I add notes about recipes I want to try, shopping lists, and other things that just don't translate to using eTools for journaling. 

So today I ate IDENTICAL to what I ate yesterday, but I couldn't figure out why I was out of Points by dinner tonight, but had enough left over last night not only to have a couple of snacks, but still had 2 left over.  I put the pages side by side and checked off what I "charged" for each food.  No differences there... I stared and stared.  DUH!!!!!!!!!!!  I had ADDED Points throughout the day instead of subtracting them.  Therefore, when I was down to 17 Points and ate something for 3 Points, the tally came up with 20 Points, not 14!

I caught myself before going on for days and days with this, thank heavens! lol
