Yup, I eat and am still alive. He, the expert pancake maker, took 20 minutes to make me a pancake, it takes 5, and he burnt it. I threw it away and made my own. I did a small TV dinner for lunch, and had him get us a steak for dinner. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Since the doctors want me to eat a lot of protein. He brought me a HUGE steak, being a jerk of course, because I could never digest that much meat even when well. Ate a little. Tomorrow I’ll just make eggs and cheese for dinner for me.

He likes to bully even more when I am I unwell. The low dose pain pill I am taking is enough to let me stand and cook a little so it should be fine. My leg is very stiff and sore and it would be nice if he would cook but he won’t so there it is. He’s tried to engage me in three arguments today and I refuse. I am just sleeping while watching tv a lot, trying to walk five minutes every hour, and trying to get him do some stuff that needs to be done. Which is why he took the time off.
 

Went to the dentist today. I'm getting a new updated partial. My mouth has changed so much, I only need 2 teeth instead of the original 3.

Anyway, he scanned it all on the computer! he had a instrument that sounded like a geiger counter, or what ever it's called. Placed it in my mouth and took pics of my whole mouth. It was pretty cool.

I get 10% off my bill for a senior discount, so I loved that. Back in a couple of weeks to collect.

It’s really no big deal, IMO. Radon is in the air, like a lot of stuff, it becomes “bad” at center levels. But I think it’s just a other thing to spook people and if it’s high in a house, they install a cleaner, then np.

Radon became a big deal when an out of state builder came in and started putting the cleaners in all their houses without testing to see if the land even had radon. 🤮

When I get our house money, I am getting teeth! 😂
 
Finally got my husband to help me get in and out of bed. It’s so very painful getting up and down. At first he wanted to do it “his way”, after a lot of yelling finally got it done “my way” which is much less painful. Your legs have to be kept together as much as possible to avoid extreme pain.

I gained 9 pounds in water weight overnight and am started to shed that due to medication. My legs are starting to look like legs and not tree trunks.

Had to force the fitbit on my ankle yesterday and could only buckle one spot, usually I can buckle 5 or 6. But this morning I can tell I have an a ankle. 😌
 
Another tip, last year I wore my regular undies and had to cut the elastic around the leg, but it was still super painful and too tight which I think added to the infection I got in the cut as they rubbed. This year, by mistake, the nurse gave me attends to wear. Course it’s the knee patients that gets these, not the hip patients.

Anyway, so comfortable on the incision, 😊, and I am going to wear them till the incision heals. Sent husband to buy some more, I do not think the one pair will last 6 weeks. 😂.
 
I had breakfast with my guys this morning. Discussed a wide range of topics and despite our dedicated effort, we did not solve a single one. ... but the bacon was good.
This afternoon my wife and I both got haircuts, and we look, ..... well old, gray and happy.
Tonight she is fixing roasted Japanese Salmon, and the aroma is wonderful.
 
Went for a 150 mile adventure ride, getting back around 2 PM and eating a small plate of chicken salad and cottage cheese. Then went to work doing the prep work for some ham, bean, bacon and onion soup, shown below.

The soup just needed a little more chicken broth. Ate hearty bowl of the soup, did the dishes, fed the critters and am posting in the various forums.

OMG…that looks so good. Love beans, any kinds of beans. Enjoy Jon.
 
The birdies woke me up at 5:30 but was able to go back to sleep woke up at 6:40
My early walk was in our community garden doing 3 loops around the garden circle after I had watered the plants
My plans today,mid morning walk. This afternoon I'll be walking over to my minister's house{3 blocks away} for a private get together with Tom,his wife Carol,their 2 sons, Doug, Ian&his wife Julie,daughter Eliza age 6.Tom is retiring Sunday after 23 yrs as our senior pastor,been friends with him&Carol from the start. I want to thank them for everything they've done for our church&most importantly our friendship,like most has evolved over the yrs.I've been with them for few 'family' get togethers,a favorite was being invited to their eldest son,Ian's wedding in CT in 2010.
I keep reminding myself its not every day you've had a friendship with your minister&his wife its lasted this long.We will stay in contact once/month
 
Went to bathroom last night amd barely made it back to bed, I was going to pass out. Same thing twice this morning 😩. Finally brain kicked in and I got my nighttime oxygen and put it on. Made a difference and I didn’t start to “swoon” so I will wear it for a few days.

Just when you think it can not hurt anymore; it does. All the anesthesia has worn off now and the pain is awful, plus it’s stiffen up a lot. I need to walk more but can’t cause if I up any time at all, I start to pass out. I see the doctor next week and will see what he thinks if the passing out doesn’t stop.

I am using a half of a mild pain pill, I don’t want to take the strong ones amd my knee hurts and is stiff as well. Fortunately, I’ve lost all the water weight that I gained, according to the scale, but both legs are still very swollen and both hurt. Giving up trying to put the fitbit on my ankle, it’s too swollen.

I’d like to do more than kick him. He is just playing his “games” and stands there like a dummy like he does not understand what I am asking him to do. It’s so frustrating. He doesn’t have to help that much, just a couple of things.

I need to grab his hand to get up and he keeps grabbing mine and crushes my hand ☹️ and I’m afraid I’ll end up with broken fingers. But I can’t get up on my own. Then he’s, oh, i forgot. 🙄. In another week and a half I should not need his help, but I can’t make stuff heal any faster.
