Cathy at Studio 28

Well I'm up and about.....slowly does it........off the crutches and limping around.......last Friday I had a knee operation........they were just going to have a look but decided to fix it up the best they could.....because next time it will be a knee replacement.........after I heard the Doctor say that they scraped the underneath of my knee cap I didn't hear anything else he said........got home early Friday afternoon and pretty well stayed in bed until Tuesday afternoon......they only time I was out of bed was to go to the loo and have a sponge bath......Jens and I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner in bed the whole weekend...... Jens did a great job looking after me, considering he had the worst case of gout in his left knee.......we were both full of pain killers for a couple of days...lucky Jens could get out of bed to cook and make cups of coffee for me and bring me anything else I wanted.......I had a couple of falls on the crutches....lucky I was near the bed when I fell....the other time was not so bad.......have been doing my exercises and can lift my leg straight and up and hold it for 20 seconds......still can't bend it very much though.......after I see the Doctor in 2 weeks I will be able to start physio....yesterday after helping change the sheets I spent spent the rest of the day in front of telly doing some applique and I cooked some rissoles for dinner....Jens did the veges and served.......I might have over done it a bit as I slept for 9 hrs last night........I'm taking it much easier today.....went out side to catch a little sunshine and have a look at the gardens.....the weather is beautiful here at the moment.....bright sunny days and cool overnight temps around 7 - 21.......can't complain about that........so much has happened in the last 2 weeks....will tell you about it all over the next few posts.......until then....happy stitching.......Cathy
