Isn’t your condo a one bedroom that is age restricted? Okie in the TX Hill Country

I love my hairdresser. I’ve been using her for several years. She knows how to cut my naturally curly hair AND she’s the first person to successfully straighten my hair to where it stays straight after I walk out of the salon. I’ve colored my own hair for years. Now that I’m transitioning to gray, she is going my color.…

Barbara - Yep. I was deemed too young for double knee replacements so we tried shots. They helped enough for me to attend events, holidays, etc but I would be down in between and barely walking. It’s all over now and I can walk wherever I want. Okie in the TX Hill Country

Michelle - I am doing PT for the PF as well as my knees. My knees are in good shape, but I'll do PT as long as they'll let me to work on strength and balance. The surgeon told me for every month I was down, it takes 3 months to recover. I was down for 2 1/2 years....you do the math :wink: . The PF is mostly stretching and…

PF often manifests as heel pain. That is where my pain is. I have been treating it since May. It's better, but not gone. The pain normally goes away after a few steps. Okie in the TX Hill Country

I’m so sorry Barbie. Many prayers for a successful surgery and recovery. Okie in the TX Hill Country

Happy November ladies! Thank you Barbie for giving us a clean slate. I hope Jake gets some reassurance from the doctors. Okie in the TX Hill Country

They must get a lot of trick or treaters!!! Okie in the TX Hill Country

I also found the premier protein shakes tasty, as long as they were very cold. I needed to drink them, not let them sit and sip on them. You can get them from Costco, most grocery stores and Amazon. I had Costco deliver them since I couldn’t drive. You can also blend yogurt and fruit, peanut butter, whatever you like to…

I highly recommend you try getting in and out while clothed. If that goes OK, bathe away. Okie in the TX Hill Country

Jumping on the bandwagon. Late 80’s wedding for us. Okie in the TX Hill Country

Thanks Barbie! I’m looking forward to a fabulous September!! Okie in the TX Hill Country

Yeah!! Great job! It truly is the little things we get back that make a difference. Okie in the TX Hill Country

You’ve got this! I promise it is worth it!! Okie in the Texas Hill Country

Why not get rid of the wine glasses if you don’t drink? Okie in the TX Hill Country

I am fascinated at how different all the surgeons are for knee replacements. A good friend just did his and his instructions before and after are so different than mine were. You will do fine. Your knee pain will be gone after the surgery. The soft tissue damage from the surgery will be painful, of course, but that will…

We had a few windows with broken seals. We had a bird hit and shatter a window so we had a guy come to replace the glass. He told us they can replace the glass and the gas in the leaking double pane windows. We had him fix all of ours for MUCH less than replacing our windows would have been. He also recommended we not…

From another curly girl - why fight it? Go with the frizz 😉 Okie in the TX Hill Country

Not the *kitten*!! I would have gone whether she changed it or not. If they can’t figure out a way to do it without you, they could close those couple of days. Okie in the TX Hill Country

Move the playpen, litterbox and toys into your DH's room. Problem moved to his area :). Okie in the TX Hill Country

Nadine! Yum!

I can't believe the pay has fallen so much since you started the classes that it now isn't feasible for you. That's really alarming. Have other wages fallen as quickly? Okie in the TX Hill Country

Glad you are done Heather! I hope your recovery is uneventful! Okie in the TX Hill Country

Here they won’t do a joint replacement if there is any infection anywhere in the body. The new joint is a beacon for infection and if the infection travels there the problems can be endless. Okie in the TX Hill Country

I was just exchanging messages with an acquaintance who had her hip replaced recently. She is doing fantastic. She used her cane for 4 days and now is able to get around her house without any cane or assistive device. If she doesn't have her husband or a friend with her when she leaves the house she takes the cane for…

Beth - I am so glad to hear you are optimistic. My Uncle was skeptical, but it helped him so much and he was so happy with it he ended up doing his other ear. It was a big decision for him, because he still had 10% residual hearing in the "other" ear. He went ahead and did it and after a few months of the second processor…

Carol - I grew up with breakfast, lunch and supper. To keep it interesting, the meal after Church on Sunday was dinner, even though it was a noon time meal. Now I call the evening meal dinner. Okie in the TX Hill Country
