It's been over four months since she had her knee replaced. It's been a roller coaster ride. A coupla good weeks, then pain. Repeat, rinse. She has fallen four times. Never on her knee. Three times I had to call the FD to get her up. Our neighbor once. I tried once, but paid for the effort with several days of pain myself.
I have given her the Indian name of Falls a Lot.
She has been doing pretty well the last ten days. She is still using the walker, but she will venture to walk without it sometimes - as her doctor has wanted her to do for two months.
Her sass level is climbing. So many times I have wanted to give her a solid swat, but hold back for fear of toppling her.
I Miss Department Stores
She Thought She Was Going to Get Some
I hope that Bacall's recovery speeds up a pace and a lot less suffering will be endured. I am of to the UK now so I will wish you both a Merry Christmas.

Good luck to Bacall. My wife recovered nicely but it too awhile.
ReplyDeleteI love the video of the guy going into the corner cabinet - too bad she’s not wearing a skirt.
Great to hear Bacall is coming along. It's a long slog with knees, but the result will be she can walk again without pain.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It is complicated with her. She had polio when she was 17 months. She had to stop wearing heels in her 40's. Now she has almost no feeling in her left foot as polio damaged the nerves.
DeleteFirst and foremost, best wishes to Bacall as she progresses with her recovery. As for the girl walking through the department store ... oh my! Reminds me of a small department store that was in our town (regrettably it has now closed). The women's department was on the second floor (first floor to our UK friends), reachable by an escalator. The best show in town was riding up the escalator a few steps below a delightful woman in tight slacks or a short skirt.
