I'm convinced those no longer exist. Maybe they were a feature of the Berenstein bear universe. There used to be like 4 of them in a box of regular band aids along with the tiny little strips for finger tips and things... Which was still woefully inadequate, BUT AT LEAST WE HAD SOME. Now they come in huge, somewhat smaller, and weird middle size that I keep grabbing thinking it's the somewhat smaller one because there's barely a difference. THAT makes me grumpy.

Since it has been four months and my knee fracture still hasn't healed, I'm going to have to have my knee replaced. That means major surgery, at least two days in the hospital, three to six weeks off work, and extensive physical therapy.

Bummer. Hope it works out.



While they're in there ask for a knee with bluetooth.

Everything is better with bluetooth.  ;D

That is a bummer Velma, especially after what you've had to endure for the past four month, but I know several folks who have had knee replacement surgery, and they are so happy to have gotten the work done as all the issues and problems they had before have disappeared.
Also the recover period is quite fast, anyways best of luck to you.

I knew it was a possibility, but it still caught me by surprise. I suppose I had only accepted it on an intellectual level.

I think I said something like "Oh, crud" at the news.  :)

In her current condition I don't think engaging in buggery would be a good idea...  ;)

What about Grumpy Sex? Can we talk or discuss that?

You never realize how much your knee is involved in things like putting on pants or shoes until it is injured. Some days there is a lot of whimpering while I am getting dressed. It is like discovering just how important that muscle in your back is to everyday movement only after you strain it.   ;D

Having spent three months with my left leg literally screwed together I can totally sympathize.  :therethere:
