I am surprised your orthopedic surgeon gave you such a lecture on the knee replacement recovery. I had knee replacement surgery two years ago last Friday - Originally, I had ligaments or cartridge taken out and the way they use to do it 20+ years ago was remove the ligaments or cartridge and left a big space. Arthritis started to fill in the space and I ended up with bone on bone. My surgeon wanted to wait until I was older 65+. Anyway, I went to see him about a year before the surgery and he said "it was time", so I got on the list to have the replacement surgery done. It was no piece of cake recovering, and I do have a high tolerance to pain .... I did everything and more the surgeon and physiotherapy (private) people said to do! I did nothing but concentrate on recovery for about six weeks and within 8 weeks I was good to go. They also replaced my knee cap - why, I did not ask and was unaware they were going to do that. I have not looked back since, my surgeon was very proud of my recovery and said "I wish you would tell every patient I operate on just what you did to recover". He was so pleased!!!! I was so pleased. If you ever want to talk more about it, I am willing to share. You need a good surgeon, physiotherapist, the determination to do the work, and a good "back up crew", so you can spend 6-8 weeks on your recuperation. Weaverly yours ... Barbara<br /><br />P.S. I walked in the 2012 CIBC Run for the Cure in very early October 3 months after surgery (not the full 5 kms, but twice as far as I had been able to go other years. I probably could have done the five kms, but decided not to chance it.<br /><br /><br />barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00465878144931259109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-65549630648304399812013-06-16T08:13:57.004-07:002013-06-16T08:13:57.004-07:00Susan, what a well-organized explanation!

I appreciate the twill databank of the ProWeave program that allows you to change either threading, tie-up or treadling. The possibilities are endless and each one inspires the possibility of combining and / or rearranging from there. It truly is amazing what these weaving programs can offer.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing these drafts appear on your looms.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08267421615716709810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-44661097679309805282013-06-15T12:46:18.167-07:002013-06-15T12:46:18.167-07:00I've been told knee replacement is a lot more ...I've been told knee replacement is a lot more painful and needs more time for recovery. I think I'll keep my sore ones for a while. I only wish I could do more for my ankles and feet. Oh, well I guess we just keep going.<br /><br />Your weaving is beautiful! bspinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11385723696922637454noreply@blogger.com
