Ronnie,

I just sat down at the computer to check in on all the knee crew.  I wanted to check in on you first.  I went back through most of your posts just to see what I have missed.  I just want you to know that I truly think you are an amazing person!  You have had problems and set backs but still you keep going.  And you take the time to give others your love and support as well.  WOW!  I wish there was something more that I could do for you, but all I can offer are hugs and kisses and all my support.  I am here if you need to chat/ vent or whatever.  Hang in there and remeber you are in my thoughts.

Julie

Hey Man !!

Hope you are doing fine. Have been to phys and of course done too much, but are pretty satisfied with myself. Will have a peaceful, quiet eve and just relax today. WE HAVE SNOW !! Not much but covering the green grass at least. I love it !! I heard how much you got in NY, send it here if you don't like it.
Have a nice tuesday, only three days to go before nice friday.

Hugs and sunny smiles, yes sun did also shine today,

thanks nettan..hope u are doing better..more snow today and last night and once again temps are plunging to the single digits ..apparently the deep freeze is to last for at least another 5 days or so..with more now forecast in the coming few days..went to the doc today for shot/draining...the shovelling was killer and it's time anyway...flu ridden...and lttle sleep..at least the shot should help the knee/hip which have been really bad lately specially at nite....

hope everyone is doing well..and those like me stuck in frigid climates are staying warm and safe..

big hugs

ronnie

Hey Man !!!

Hope the shot will give you some painrelief. Feeling pretty good myself, just tired. Friday at last !!
We haven't got more snow, only one singling down here and one there, so you can absolutely send me some.
Managed myself to town today meeting a friend. No assistent, feeling independence. Continueing phys next week, pool monday and phys friday. I'm going to be the strongest woman in the world ( at least what I imagine), beware for me !! Feeling like a freezer right now after waiting for the bus, so I'm sitting her in a warm joggingdress drinking hot chocolate. Maybe I feel warm again tomorrow morning, takes about 8-9 hours to get warm legs again.
Take care and have a nice weekend with a minimum of pain and a maximum of joy and peace.

Hugs and sunny smiles from my heart as always Nettan 


Hope everyone else also have a good weekend.

[Ron22]

thanks nettan as always your warm thoughts are very apppreciated...hope u are feeling better and i would love to send u some snow..it's still frigid here thus nothing is melting.....a bit weary..the first few days are tough as  i get knee and hip shots...drain the knee and also they try to free up the scar tissue on the injection side..as barbaric as it sounds is also how it feels for several days..also my appts are always late aft after 4pm so the sweling and such is that much worse with the dreadd barmetric pressure arthritis fun i get every note anyway....been a rough few mths..banging my head against the wall with this beatles deal and chasing other opps.....but i still have faith in myself...today and last nite feel a bit emotional...must be the flu and purple leg syndrome...i hope everyone out there is having a good friday and has a good wkend....

thanks again for the hugs....

hey ronnie,
the temperatures in the northeast have been a bit crazy.  stay clear of that ice.  keep the faith. chasing after a deal for so long is bound to get you something good (plus, it shows your commitment, and that you really want this deal) so dont give up on that. hope you feel better ron, being sick on top of it all really sucks. 

take care, big hugs,
Lesley

How is the flu/cold doing?  I hope you are staying warm.  Like Nettan said, send the snow my way.  I live up in NW Washington and have no snow at all.     Guess taht is because of the Island we live on or whatever.  Right now the temp is 47 and some of my crazy spring flowers have started to bloom.  Guess they will survive.  If not I will hopefully be well enough to plant more in a few months.  I would love to chat with you sometime.  As with you, I am up at al hours and get bored/lonely.  Would like to chat if you are interested.  Well, for now I am going to check a few more things on the site and go lay back down for a little bit.  Take care and stay warm.

Hey Man !!

Sorry to hear about what happened. Agree with you that many kids today don't have to take consequenses for what they do or act today. And that's sad for them cause sooner or further in life they have someone really dealing with them and then they can't handle that and do foolish things which can give them prison or damages for life by f.i. someone elses knife. My kids always have to take responsibilities for what they do and how they act. I have done that since they were small and that has given us the situation that we not often have to deal with problems. I use not any punishments at all instead they can't do things they should have done if they do something foolish. We always talk about everything. You can't talk with a kid one week after things have happened you must do it right away to make them understand why.If they do really great I support them and show that. Maybe we're doing something special or I fix something for them.
I hope that this incident not will cause more damage for you. Hope you feel better today. Music is great when things are bad.....I use that too. Have a great monday my friend.

Hugs and lots of sunny smiles from Nettan

Ronnie,

Hadn't seen your name pop up in a few days, was getting worried about you.  How was the Doc visit?  Hope that it wasn't too bad.  Stay away from that ice.  I learned how easy it is to slip in Kool-Aide this morning.  My youngest spilled lemonaide and it is the same color as the tile in the kitchen.  All I can say is OUCHY!  Take care and try and have a good weekend.  Your'e in my thoughts.
