I'm glad that they were able to work something out with the 2 different parts of the replacements. I hope that this will be a long term solution for you. I hope that you feel better soon.

Wow, your surgeon must be part doctor/part mechanic! That's quite a procedure he performed. I have faith that it will all turn out well and you'll be running up and down stairs in no time.

Just wanted to let you all know I read all your well wishes and my heart is just full of loving thoughts for my kickas family. I only hope that some of the newbies here that I haven't had a chance to meet see what a wonderful support system we have here and how each member holds the others up with true compassion and concern and what a difference it can make in all our lives. The temp came back again today. I started pushing Tylenol with my oxy to keep the temp under 101 so I don't have to go back to the hospital. Brad is right, you do recover emotionally, quicker at home, that's why I declined the extra week in the rehab hospital. I knew I could do better for myself than being shipped off to another hospital for another week. Oh, the meds are calling and that's about all I can do for tonight. I hope you are all well. I hope to soon be back up to computer mode soon so I can read more of your posts and lend an ear or shoulder to some of you. I hope the next few days I can stay on longer.

I know this is probably going to be a long haul through rehab therapy. Hang in there and before you know it you'll be up dancing a jig. It's wonderful that your son got you hooked up with a computer. What a Guy!! Keep up the good work, I'll be watching for you to check in now and then. Janet

OP manatee Imperial_AS_Kicker Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 3,016 Pennsylvania	Hey there Linc, how's the big apple and that wonderful Job? Thankfully the AS has been under control for the last couple days. Increase in pain meds has done wonders for the back, shoulders, other knee, etc. I will be cutting down on them today and trying to go back to my pre surgical dose, we'll see what happens. I expect everything else to kick up again, but I can't stay in La La land for ever Cindy " That which does not kill me only makes me stronger"

I don't want to keep taking extra pain meds so I have a tendency to put up with more pain than I need to. Cindy " That which does not kill me only makes me stronger"
