Oh, yikes, I think I'd better go somewhere else for a swim.

The Sun is bright outside, but I can't walk ten steps without crutches. OK, that's my complaint for the day.

I think this one came out a little better than the other one, and I oughta be steppin' high by May.

Which means, for now, ouchy, I'm not gonna deny it hurts. But later comes the payoff.

Good to hear you're on the mend Foggy.

Huh? Wha' happened? Where'd my last week go off to?

OK, well ... I'm doped to the gills, but I like it like that.

This one is the hurtiest of them all. I love oxycodone, but it's not enough to kill the pain. Another week should do it. Got an appointment for Friday. I wonder how many pixels are in the composition box. How can it be sunny and cloud-free and not be over 70°?

Idiot doctor doesn't want me to do ANY physical therapy for the first two weeks. Just take care of it and don't let the cats use it for a trumpoline trampoline Where did all of these weird bruises come from?

I'm already walking around without the crutches. I'm gonna cut off the oxycodone and start climbing stairs. Life is good.

was wondering. I’ve always heard the knees were hard going on the mend.

#1567

My brother had his hurtiest knee surgery last year. He was 71. He had knee surgery 20 years before that and said it was “no hill for a stepper”.

Wait, I have SEVEN PAGES of Unread Posts?!?

... but I already gave myself a day off. My leg hurts. It's all swole up. The ice machine helps.

#1569

That's a interesting machine. I can see how that would be helpful.

At the ripe old age of 71, I honest to Pete overdosed on baby aspirin. My tongue was 3x normal size, and I damn near had to go to the ER again. Those who remember when I accidentally bought a pink gun will understand completely. These are the things that happen to me.

Okay, as someone who will be 71 shortly, how much is too much baby aspirin????

Too also: Get the eff well soon!

How does one "accidently" purchase a firearm...?

#1575

Oh, I meant to purchase the (BB) gun. The color was an accident.

My children were telling me I was buying them a pink gun, but that was before cataract surgery. I thought it was a shade of tan, until I got it out of the box. I repainted it black.

I have a real firearm. It is not now, never was, and never will be pink.

And I didn't even know you could OD on baby aspirin, but I may have taken ... say ... 10 or a dozen over the course of 24 hours? My knee was hurting, and I added it to the daily routine. It's a painkiller, amirite? Except I can't take that no more. The nurse told ol' Wifehorn on the phone.
