A new knee ....

and the first day with no crutches.  Not all the time, but at least a good dozen steps.  To say this is good is a little like saying Christmas is pleasant enough.

Thank you for all your comments and emails; they definitely help through the darker days, of which there have been a few. And I don't think they're all gone, but I do think they'll get less.

One thing I haven't been able to do yet is take any photographs - but soon, very soon - which is why this is a re-used image.  What I have been able to do, is lots of thinking and planning - Christmas, bags, sewing, everything.  Which is always a good thing and now I feel as though I have a clearer plan for hortensia.

Hopefully I'll be back here in the next few days with some pictures and details.

Hi Pam,

How great that you're back at your blog! And hey, it's good to go through the images you may have in storage and show us those - you'll get to take plenty new ones later! Take it slow (hard, I know!) and enjoy the planning before making, that's fun too!

Many happy thoughts from Finland!

Yours,
Mia

[Pam]

Thanks Mia! It is hard to slow down, but it has to be done. And the planning is so very exciting, but now I definitely want to get sewing.

One step at a time Pam (if you'll pardon the pun) ..... following OH having the same op last year all I can recommend is that you follow the exercise plans and keep moving as much as you can but don't over do it! Take care x

[Pam]

Thanks Debbie, its always good to hear of people coming through the op and being better for it.
Take care,
