GIGI is here, Knee surgery completed

Mar 24, 2012

     Well knee surgery is done. Not what the doctor thought it would be, my arthritis is the culprit and all behind the knee was schredded tissue. I now have appointment with Rheumatology seeing as the culprit has returned. I am really nervous as I can't take half of the meds given to me previously( as they were NSAIDS). Any suggestions on preventive meds not in the NSAID family???
The knee and thigh are now 2 inches different due to swelling, I am up and can put some weight on my knee , but cringe so often waiting for the pain . Just a reminder how we really need to cherish the body in all it's wonder.
     It's official I am GIGI, my grandson was born at7:45 pm on 3/14 weighing 7 pounds and 8 ounces. Life seems so weird. I am glad I will be around to have the opportunities I thought I was not gonna live to see. THANK YOU  Dr Richards( and the support staff) for helping me achieve the living again . I am now starting to take a stand and facing some of the things I had pushed down to avoid dealing with at the time. Any suggestions on how to stop craving food and sweets through the psych issues? I really do not want to gain weight.
