Secondly I am so sorry to learn of the upcoming knee surgery..can they put some padding between the bones?<br />The lady who used to own our house had knee surgery..previous to that she could not walk but now she walks well!So there is that..<br />so ok can you buy some supportive padding things that are sewn for women who have had breast cancer? I'm thinking that a very good seamstress could help and some how give you something soft to lean on...<br />Finally Big Congratulations with your wonderful grand children!.<br />Love,Lurkynat<br />natalienataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16460459444680469628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158361504923357712.post-43557208849707097212011-02-17T19:58:11.879+00:002011-02-17T19:58:11.879+00:00I feel as though I am watching the boys turn in to...I feel as though I am watching the boys turn in to handsome young men through the years.

My Mom has the same with her knees but it too old for a replacement. So she struggles. I hope that this will help you dear, perhaps using a motorized chair is not that bad? I still have to use a walker when I know I will be walking alot because of my breathing..mine has a seat on it so you can sit and rest, maybe that would work for you.

Yes, you are in a rock and a hard place. People here jump in scooters and stay there to avoid surgery. They just act like they have been cut off at the knees. Don't they do that there if surgery seems like a too high risk? Everybody and their dog is in scooters in this HUD complex (government subsidized) This may break the country but people rarely have knee surgery if it is going to be too bad of an ordeal and they have other health issues. An expensive knee surgery that is high risk might be a worse alternative, but you have to be resigned to getting around by scooter.Gerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771917880182186281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158361504923357712.post-30349708022246332182011-02-04T01:57:34.008+00:002011-02-04T01:57:34.008+00:00Jeanette~I'm a new reader to your blog.

Sorry though that you have to undergo surgery for your knees, I can sympathise because one of mine is fast heading that way. :o(<br /><br />The boys are so grown up now and don`t they both look smart too. And those gorgeous little puppies..of course I`m biased but in my opinion theres no better family dog than a labrador. :o)<br /><br />Love and Hugs<br /><br />Sandra xxxx<br /><br />PS.

I think I would have to have a chocolate one. lol Hope you are feeling well. So sorry about your brother and the selling of the house. These types of things are so hard. I remember when we had to sell my Grandmother's house. It hit me harder than expected. I bawled while we went through and cleaned it the final time, knowing it was the end of the chapter, missing her, and not getting to be in that house again. It brings tears just remembering. Glad to see a post pop up from you on my side bar! Take care.Bookncoffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12001787449791564669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158361504923357712.post-67609532036037621502011-02-02T13:56:53.270+00:002011-02-02T13:56:53.270+00:00Great photos of the boys!

After the operation you will feel much better and your pains will surely decrease. I've lost count of my poor dad's operations, but he still goes on trusting his doctors and he is very brave. And that's how you are too. very brave. Keep your chin up. Hugs and bless. Ciao.

Thank you too ...I was happy to hear your good news! Thank you too for sharing the pictures of your grandsons. The boys are growing up so much. I know that they are a joy to you as my grandchildren are to me too. Very few of us get through life with perfect health, but thankfully we now have options that never were available years ago. It will be a relief to have your knees done. It won't be an easy task or a pleasant one but in the end it will make such a difference for you. I'm wondering if you might be able to use a walker instead of crutches? My dad had one that you could even sit down on and scoot along on. I will be looking forward to seeing that new pup too. It will be exciting for them to have him.<br />You remain in my thoughts and prayers and I'm sending Lots of Love and Hugs your way!I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158361504923357712.post-55001878638509188052011-02-02T12:05:47.019+00:002011-02-02T12:05:47.019+00:00Good to see a post from you Jeanette..I know you a...Good to see a post from you Jeanette..I know you are not looking forward to the surgery but it will improve the quality of your life in the long run..and congrats on the good news at the breast clinic..take care..xLYNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18370237705032312452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158361504923357712.post-30349480585042930692011-02-02T12:04:44.125+00:002011-02-02T12:04:44.125+00:00There's nothing to brighten up a day like the ...There's nothing to brighten up a day like the smiling faces of little boys.
