Whatever the insurance can't take care, you sure can. And it will be easier than what you have to endure. Here is an honest prayer to God to bring you physical and monetary relief. Loads of love and a giant hug :)Tranquility Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973619033004372917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188622209099174931.post-54991670327979448362010-08-14T19:49:22.613-05:002010-08-14T19:49:22.613-05:00Would you like some cheese with your whine? jk!

Glad you decided that you have had enough. So sorry about your poison sumac. <br /><br />I'm glad you've decided to go for the knee replacement. My SIL has had both replaced in the last two years. It was her second replacement for both knees and she says it is so much better this time than the last. She is 78 and walks like a new woman...says she wants to go back to work!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08908246018959064657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188622209099174931.post-84945461879448654352010-08-13T16:22:04.118-05:002010-08-13T16:22:04.118-05:00Hi Di, As I started reading about the neighbors an...Hi Di, As I started reading about the neighbors and the weeds, I kept saying to myself, "she needs to call the city" and by golly, you did. We have the same issue with our next door neighbors. <br /><br />I know of three people that have gone through knee replacement surgery and non of them regret it. Tey do regret waiting as long as they did so with that said, you do what you feel is best for you. Either way, I will keep you in my prayers.<br />Hugs to you<br />TerrieTerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05570660485009183858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188622209099174931.post-49779377257957497822010-08-12T18:21:02.566-05:002010-08-12T18:21:02.566-05:00Oh dear my sweet friend Di!

I don't have an answer. Some people have no business being homeowners - they seem to forget that owning a home means taking care of the outside too. You did the right thing. I hope you get results.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858158707328118375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188622209099174931.post-21171212247894300892010-08-12T09:22:52.956-05:002010-08-12T09:22:52.956-05:00Sorry to read that the neighbours are acting the w...Sorry to read that the neighbours are acting the way they are.

I'm very sympathetic to your plight. Right now, we have two vacant houses on either side of us! One of them does the very minimum and didn't want to help with expense of cutting dead limbs off their tree that hung over our roof). At the other, the bank has hired someone to mow...but that's ALL that they do. The weeds are growing up to the first story roof along the sides of the house, and weeds fill the fence between us and them. It's a mess.<br /><br />Re. the knees...I'm glad you saw the "light"! Your Jake sounds very wise. I hope you can get scheduled soon so that by NEXT summer you will not have to deal with this kind of pain. <br /><br />I thank God with you for your strong daughter and pray that everything will work out soon for your relief.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188622209099174931.post-5658418834137394252010-08-12T08:49:03.989-05:002010-08-12T08:49:03.989-05:00HI DIANA-

Woohoo!<br /><br />Neighbors like that just suck. I was about to suggest roundup sprayed for 5-6 feet inside their fences, but I know that would only make your situation worse.
