FYI OT

Hi Naomi,

I'll be thinking about you next Wednesday. Hope this surgery brings you much needed relief.

Your wallhanging sounds like a lot of fun. I've thought about doing something like that myself. Unfortunately, I think about more projects than I ever have time for. ;-)

As soon as you feel up to it, give us a report.

Best of luck for a successful surgery and a speedy and uneventful recovery. :-)

Be patient, though. Joints heal slowly. Really slowly. Really really slowly. Take it from a woman who just had surgery on a major joint (the hip). But it does eventually heal. Or so I'm told. *grin*

I was forwarned that it would take 3 months and a lot of pt before I am

That sounds like a good plan. I hope the operation goes well and you are up and around in record time. Debra in VA See my quilts at

Good luck with your surgery Jan. Rehab is a challenge, but your quality of life will improve greatly. Linda in Tx

I'm sending my best wishes for a speedy recovery and full and pain-free use of you leg! :)

Jan, I had ACL reconstruction in 1999. The physical terrorist drove me nuts for about 4 months but it was worth it. No more pain, can walk just fine thenkyewverramuch. Just do *everything* the physical terrorist tells you to do and you will be fine.

Anne > I was forwarned that it would take 3 months and a lot of pt before I am

That is what I am having fone plus a cadavar ligament graft inside my knee. That is the damage that would cause me to need a knee replacement in 5 years if I didn't have it done.

I promise, I will do what the physical terrorist tells me. If I falter I will ask for encouragement.....I want to get better.

I also had arthroscopic surgery and you really have to look for the "scar" lines. Keep doing the physical therapy exercises, too! I had a lot of trouble from "baby-ing" the bad knee before surgery and my "good" knee payed the price (but not enough to warrant more surgery.) Good wishes staying with you! ME-Judy
