I had one knee replaced about 5 years ago and never looked back. I waited until all the cartilage was gone and was grinding bone on bone, sorry now that I waited so long...all that unnecessary pain. I think it was about 3 days in hospital, they didn't release me until I could navigate a flight of stairs. The only side effect is that I can't kneel on that one knee and had to devise creative ways to scrub the bathtub. My thoughts are with you, and I have even more respect for your accomplishments all things considered. Both of my kids have 3 kids of their own and go in so many directions I don't want to be a bother. The other problem is I am feeding 5 feral cats 3 of which are kittens and I can't leave them alone. Also other problem is I am not vaccinated yet due to issues with anaphylaxis. Not sure it is safe for me and my drs can't say it is.. just that it "shouldn't" be a problem. Not confidence inspiring. I don't ever want to go through that again, I thought I was dying on the floor of my own home. It was a terrifying experience! Not an anti vaxxer at all, but afraid of a possible reaction. 4 Link to comment

xwordfanatik September 17, 2021 Share September 17, 2021 Gram, I hope you're on the mend, it sounds like you are. I took my 2 1/2 mile walk today, for the first time in over a week. The smoke was so bad on many days that we couldn't even see the hillsides around us. I'm very glad I have a stationary bike for those indoor days. 6 Link to comment

Rabbit Hutch September 19, 2021 Share September 19, 2021 Ginger is great for tummy upset. I keep a jar of organic sliced ginger in the fridge, and a bag of GinGin double strength ginger candies in the truck. The slices work in about 15-20 minutes while the candies take about 20. Ginger is also good to keep your upper respiratory system clean and helps with bodily inflammation. 😉 5 2 Link to comment
