I am such a big ballbaby. I cry at the slightest pain in my back or leg or arthritis pain in my joints and just start taking medication to ease everything. It would be amazing to be completely off of any kind of drug except an occasional asprin! I know about those awful antibiotics. In January I had a stupid bladder infection that lasted 6 weeks! yeah 6 weeks of horrible antibiotics, and I think good ole cranberry juice daily (even today) EVERY DAY has fixed the problem!

I think that despite the lack of attention from you, "Someone" else knew how much you love the flowers and plants so "He" cared for them for you so you could have a little something beautiful and colorful to enjoy while you recovered.<br /><br />It looks like DH will need replacement surgery on his left knee. I'll probably post about that later so I'll be watching for any tips or advice you can offer.<br />Hugs<br />TerrieAll Dolled Up Doll Clotheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03786366679063779641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188622209099174931.post-23077490705610812382011-09-30T13:46:07.085-05:002011-09-30T13:46:07.085-05:00Goodness to glory sister, heaven knows I'm not...Goodness to glory sister, heaven knows I'm not a patient person.

At least one of them is doing well, so you can be thankful for that. <br /><br />I loved the flowers interspersed in your post, too. What a clever idea to help soften some of the rotten news!<br /><br />You will be surprised how fast you start healing once that swelling is less. I just had my 3 month check up and I'm truly recovered. I haven't tried to hike yet, but maybe next weekend when my oldest daughter is home we'll try a short one.<br /><br />I now have moments when I feel so good that I forget I had surgery. (They don't last too long, but I have them, and I know they will last longer as time goes on!)<br /><br />Keep your chin up, and keep exercising, and don't lose hope.<br /><br />Love and hugs,<br />SandiSandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923693784234135636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188622209099174931.post-24156419775110519762011-09-29T12:40:42.762-05:002011-09-29T12:40:42.762-05:00So sorry that things are going a bit slow for the ...So sorry that things are going a bit slow for the right knee. Be careful with the celebrex. I was on Mobic with my knees and stayed on it longer (by Dr. orders) and ended up with a bleeding ulcer in my tummy! Scarey! I go for my consult to set up surgery soon so I'm starting to get nervous about it. Take care.

I don't want to interfere or frighten you, but you need to do an on-line search on the side effects of Celebrex. I assume the surgeon knows you had a stroke? Possibly you don't have to be on it too long? I love your glorious fall blooms.

Remember you won't heal as fast as you have before, that damned age thing, you know! And I'm glad the Celebrex helped. <br /><br />Your flowers and plants are beautiful! I'm very sad that much of my last four years of investment (time and money both) was done in by the extremely hard, cold winter and the following drought. It was just too much for my wee garden.
