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!

Just a quickie

Just a quickie today.  I picked up new glasses on my way home yesterday.  I am still getting used to them - they are a stronger prescription and, under the best of circumstances it takes a while to adjust to a new progressive prescription, but I get horribly car sick and have a vertigo condition - so my getting used to them might really stretch the envelope.  I don't want to take breaks with my old glasses and instead am just closing and resting my eyes periodically.   I opted for new frames and they are similar enough to the old ones that not one single person even noticed I had new glasses (but different enough so I don't feel I wasted my money)!  (Sandy - I had to take a second look at your new profile picture - they are sort of like yours but with different ornamentation on the corners.)

I looked at the temps ahead for this week - just lovely if you are spending the week at the beach (90 degrees and sunny through the weekend) but a little too hot to live in a house with no air conditioning (I swear it's more difficult after spending the day in an ac'd office and car).  However, miracle of miracles, the pool is clean and ready to go.  It's freezing cold though, so the most I will do is dip my toes - and mostly to shoo the ducks away.  Their stays are shorter and shorter as their little duck brains process the fact that they shouldn't be swimming in a chlorinated pond - even though it is their own private resort.  Vinnie also chases them off in the morning although I notice that he ignores them more and more, and is probably seeing the wisdom in Tiki's habit of pretending they are not there.

Anyway, I've hit my limit of staring at this computer screen.

Stay cool!

  1. Haha, I feel that we are kindred spirits in so many ways. Having similar frames is just another indication! I must admit that I've got the urge to get something very different real soon though. So when you feel dissettled, you'll know that I have done the deed.
