thank you Jan, for commenting with advice a lot have people have given me. and thank you for the update on jessie’s memorial. we miss her so much. we had so many wonderful conservations over dinner at traini’s. I’m so glad you commented at this particular time. we had an interesting thing that happened just the other day. jerry finally decided to take jessie’s name off the phone. 😔 her home phone came off ok. the first try for the cell phone, it didn’t come off. he couldn’t figure what he did wrong🤔. so he tried again, nope🤔. the third time should be a charm, right, no, it wasn’t 🙄. so he waited a little while and tried again. needless to say jessie is still on our phone.😇 we sure want to be there for the memorial.
the pain finally raised it’s ugly head yesterday. while the meds take some of it away, walking on it is a real killer. having the potty chair near me is a real help. i’m going to take the oxycodone every 7 hours instead of 8. the only thing it makes me itch. The ice machine helps a lot to too.
I’m wearing the plasma flow machine 3 times a day. and the ice machine 5 times a day – for at least two months. it seems like i have something on my legs all day.
Jerry’s going to get tired of this real quick.😵💫at least he has midas to talk things over with.
Thank you all for comments and well wishes, and the brownie brittle bites rosemary😋 I’m trying to take this one day at a time. I think that’s the hardest part of all.

Once in awhile-now and again-this is us 
So sorry about all the pain. You do have some interesting technology I haven’t seen with all my other knee and hip replacement friends. along with some great shots of your knees, I like the picture of Jerry and Midas through the starry, misty screen.
I sincerely hope the pain ebbs away and you can dance.
So sorry you have pain. Hope your meds work well fo you. It must be so rough for you right now, but I know you are a trooper and you have a handsome and kind caretaker on your side. Love the Jerry and Midas silhouette. Please thank him for calling me after your surgery and for taking good care of my precious sister. Love, Celia
I am sorry about the pain – thankfully the ice machine and pain meds help. That is a great picture of Jerry and Midas – looks like Midas is listening to all of Jerry’s problems. Praying all continues to go well for you. BTW, You look impressively organized!!
I’m sorry about all the suffering, Mom. I hope it will be gone quickly and that you will eventually feel it was all worth it. I’ll be there to visit and to bring some good food as soon as I’m safely distanced from my COVID episode, with a negative test and no symptoms! Any specific food requests?? I love you.
So glad you are making progress, Jilly dear! Recovery is arduous. Kudos to you and to Jerry for his care, not to mention to Midas for his encouragement of Jerry. Xxxxoooo Linda
