Pics of knee after surgery
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: September 26, 2008
Not too bad, huh? Just those areas where the surgeon went in – not much bruising; on the left side of the picture you can see where the ink mark is to make sure they operate on the correct knee. The little star thing at the top of the page is a wonder ice bag. [...]
Knee surgery update
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: September 25, 2008
Had knee surgery yesterday; Dr. repaired a torn meniscus and said there was more arthritis in there than he anticipated, so he shaved as much as he could of dear old “Arthur”.
Not as much pain as I thought there would be, but it sure burns… bandage comes off tomorrow and you guessed it, yep, there [...]
Knee surgery tomorrow…
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: September 23, 2008
Went through the pre-op stuff for tomorrow’s surgery and I’m such a happy camper! They’ve changed “the rules” and you can now drink clear liquid up to 4 hours before surgery!!! Which means I can have my morning Pepsi….yes, it’s considered a clear liquid! Orange juice, tomato juice, milk, anything with substance is considered “a [...]

Thought for the day: Save the earth – it’s the only planet with chocolate!
Breast Cancer Research….
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: September 20, 2008
Today while walking around the square in Franklin at the Crafts and Car Days they have, I found the cutest bag for only $5 and the money goes to Breast Cancer Research – a very worthy cause!
I think I’ll take it to the hospital with me on Weds. when I get my knee scoped!
Update on the stupid knee!

@$^&%((%(%)&*_)*)*%$%*()! HARUMPH! CRAP!
Got the results today of the MRI (actually wasn’t supposed to get them till Monday afternoon); Dr. called and said the cartilage is torn and needs surgery…so Weds. afternoon, under the knife I go.
I apologized at dinner to my hubby on the High Maintenance Woman I’ve become; and it isn’t fun high maintenance! [...]
Enchanted is Enlarging!
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: September 19, 2008
WOW! Is this great news – only opened in May ‘08 and already doubling the size of the shop!!! Just think of all the goodies this will hold – I cannot wait to see the progress – but most of all, I cannot wait till it’s done!
Hurray! Enchanted Yarn and Fiber.
For those that haven’t been [...]
The mind is slowly going, going, and soon to be gone!
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: September 18, 2008
Having spent most of Tuesday at Enchanted getting help with a baby/toddler hoodie that I have made before and apparently having lost a portion of my mind earlier in the day, I thought I was on a roll. Got the front done and the back done and yikes! The split on the side was correct on [...]
Knitting – relaxed = Enchanted Yarn and Fiber
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: September 16, 2008
Went to Enchanted to knit today. Felt good because I’ve been cooped up in the house too long! However, I got so relaxed and so sleepy; even left my knitting and checked all the new stuff in the shop; sat back down and thought if I don’t head home now, I’ll never be able to [...]
Wonderful, relaxing day!

Since I’ve hurt my knee, I’ve been stuck in “jail” since last Monday. A wonderful friend, Diane, (we sort of wonder if in another life we might have been sisters!) was headed to Enchanted today and volunteered to take me after I sat Friday morning in Panera’s in tears because I hadn’t been able to [...]

- Ah….life in the fast lane November 10, 2009At least that’s how I like to think of it! Things have been testy around the house since the bionic man got a new knee. Seems like we’ve had lots of repairmen, which ultimately leads to lots of barking. Derby, our found on the streets of Nashville dog, absolutely cannot help himself when it comes to [...]keepingyouinstitches
- A new and colorful knee! October 24, 2009Tuesday (and this is Saturday) Mark got a new knee; it’s getting more and more colorful! Came home Thursday and trotted him off to rehab on Friday morning. Coloring goes pretty much around the whole knee….wowee! Or maybe I should say owie! Staples come out Nov. 3 and yes, there will be documentation of that too; most [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Very technologically challenged….oh yes, I am October 18, 2009For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how I was receiving voice mails on my cell phone when it was sitting right next to me! This has been going on for about a week now. Lo and behold, there’s a tiny button on the side of the iphone that if it gets moved, mutes [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Hubby getting new knee………finally! October 17, 2009OK, readers, it’s Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday is new knee day for hubby. He’s already commented a couple of times what a long week-end this will be; add the cold, crappy weather that is predicted, and it will be even longer. I’m trying to play cruise director in making plans that will keep him busy. So [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Generic vs. generic drugs October 13, 2009I’m so fortunate to have health insurance…..some would call it good health insurance. However, today I received a letter from the insurance company stating that the drug I take for acid reflux is now going to be re-classified and will have a high cost…oh, wait, “cost may increase” are the actual words. How absolutely dumb do [. […]keepingyouinstitches
