    Had a couple of challenging days when I returned home - first time I was alone with food in a week - hamsters were cheering me on trying to persuade me that I could/should eat EVERYTHING!

    A thank you...

    I just want you all to know how much I appreciate you and look forward to your posts every day. Even if I just am reading them and not "talking" because I am in a bad mindset, it still means a lot to me that there are people out there who get it.

    So thank you for your support and for just being awesome people.

    Thank you, Athijade. I feel the same. Sometimes just having people there who like you (or fake it well enough :) ) feels so good. We are a pretty fine group!

    Hopefully you will be all chipper when you see this... as I am writing it about 5 hours later than your post! Good recovery vibes have been dispatched!

    Still on the green side :)

    Not quite as chipper as after the first - but not bad - and I feel those positive and healing vibes <3

    It is! I've had a wonderful day :) Christmas and Birthday all rolled into one! Literally! Received two parcels in the mail today - late Christmas presents from the Newfoundland crew :p and a little tote bag I forgot there when I was visiting. And a text from my local son with a photo of a parcel all stamped and tagged - my birthday present which he ordered from somewhere far away and it just arrived at his place. Too funny that both would show up on the same day.

    And I've been out and about all day - doing all fun things - and my knee was feeling absolutely fantastic. Enough so that I was thinking maybe it will be fine - that I don't need that MRI/Surgery stuff. Then it occurred to me. It is the pain killers I'm taking so the boob doesn't hurt with all this bouncing around (walking). lol. You know what - same drug also stops the pain from me knee :) What an epiphany though. How much pain drags you down and how accustomed you get to it so you don't even realize that you are living under its cloud.

    How are your damaged nether regions doing Yooly???

    Laurie - glad to hear you’re doing well. Pain killers are great for masking pain all over. Which is also why some folks never leave them unfortunately! Too bad we can’t get targeted medication for specific areas. But we plod along learning to manage.

    The nether regions are healing quite nicely. I can’t imagine what damage I would have done at 100 pounds heavier and less fit. I’d probably be in a body cast now. 😂
