  1. Two months in now. The only good news is I can ride my horses again. Walking is another matter. I still have inflammation and swelling in the knee so the therapy and exercise is almost counterproductive. I am not back to a level of pain and mobility I had before surgery which is very disheartening. What’s frustrating is that it has stabilized at this level. I have read where it is really six months to approach normal...so I’ll hop on my horse and keep working for that.

  2. For many years, I had nightmares where I had only a class left to finish my Masters, but I was late to the classroom, couldn't find the classroom, etc. and completion was in limbo. I achieved my Masters working full time, at night, with a family, and it was a very stressful time. I also have recurring nightmares that I still work at various companies from my career, and I have a meeting, or I am starting over there etc. Lastly, I have golf nightmare, where I am playing in a tournament or something like that, and I am preparing for my shot, but for whatever reason, I cannot get in a swing and hit the shot, and people are waiting. Maybe I just remember the nightmares.

     

    I am not on drugs.

  3. OK...not going to do book covers, however, I have read a bit:

     

    Traveller by Richard Adams Traveller was Robert E. Lee's horse, and the book is a view of the civil war viewed from the general's horse's perspective.

     

    Watership Down also by Richard Adams (again, I first read this book 40 years ago...it is my all time favorite book.)

     

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (also a re-read) J.P. Rowling...the Harry Potter finale of course.

     

    and I just started book 1 of the Bluegrass Files,Down the Rabbit Hole, which is a detective/mystery series written by a local writer, F. J. Messina, all set in the Lexington area.

  4. Just now saw this. I pray everything went well yesterday @doomer.

     

    Thanks! The Doc said my knee was a mess, but he thinks I’ll be happy with the outcome. Unfortunately, the oral pain meds make me sick and heaving all night. I’m ready for that part to end!

  5. Today is the day. I’m sitting on my hospital bed...already drugged up to some degree...with surgery to be in about an hour. I’m not looking forward to it, but it should help in the long term. Thanks again for the advice, and I’ll be happy to get this over with...eventually.
