Valentine's Dinner & prayer request

Posts: 2,075
My husband treated me to a beer-can chicken dinner tonight - which ended up being just what I wanted. A sandwich, chips, and sweet tea.
Tomorrow morning I'll be getting a much needed right knee replacement! :ohmy: I've been battling knee problems for years and am finally giving in. Have had a lot going on this past week - my youngest (and sweetest) sister had a minor surgical procedure, and a major set-back - a flash pulmonary edema. It has resolved and she is well on the road to recovery - she has to get back on her feet as she is the greatest nurse I know and I'm going to need her. Yesterday afternoon my Mom stumbled and fell - as fractures go the doc says her's is the one to have??? An avulsion fracture of her distal fibula....
It's been a wild week to say the least. I'm going into surgery in the morning at 7 with a very positive attitude and will be back egging before you know it. Please keep my (and my family) in your prayers (my husband asked if the hospital could just give us a unit for my family :huh: )!!
Here is a pic of my dinner. Happy Valentine's Day to all and thanks for always treating me like family.

I said to my wife, 'Where do you want to go for our anniversary?' She said, 'I want to go somewhere I've never been before.' I said, 'Try the kitchen.'

Good luck Elizabeth my wife had hers done last July. The surgery is the easy part it's the rehab that's tough but stick with it and you'll be better than new.

God bless you child! You're gonna be fine......my prediction! Keep us posted regarding your progress!

I am facing not a knee replacement, but a significant clean up in the next few weeks - so in 15 years I can look forward to replacement.
I'm sure you will feel better after the post-op pain resolves itself. I hope the best for you and your family.
You will feel better soon!

Blessings to you and your family Elizabeth. I'm sure everyone will heal fine. You all are in my prayers.

Oh, Elizabeth...I hadn't seen this when I asked below if that is what you meant by a "knee."
I will be looking for words from you as you recuperate. Let us all know how you are coming along! Best thoughts going your way.Judy in San Diego -

I am humbled by your kind words. Thank you very much - I am blessed beyond words. I actually met with the therapist who will be directing my rehab about amonth ago and have been working on "prehab" basis since middle of January. I go into this with every confidence I can do this - hard work ahead, but I will succeed. Thanks again for the encouragement. Will post again ASAP. Sweet dreams....

I'm praying for all of you Elizabeth! God is the great healer.

Elizabeth,
I believe all things in life seem to go in some sort of cycle and you're approaching a big upswing soon I'm sure. Hang in there and carefully yet aggressively get that knee back in shape. Good luck today and all the best to your sister and mom. You ladies take it easy now. -
Elizabeth, I wish you a speedy recovery and I will be praying for you and your family. I hope you will be back egging soon.Happily egging on my original large BGE since 1996... now the owner of 5 eggs. Call me crazy, everyone else does!

Elizabeth, Our thoughts & prayers are with you, hope everything goes really well
