Baby its cold outside ............

Best wishes to you and the Mrs.

I swear, I wasn't trying to rhyme, but look at that. :D I do hope all goes well, happy healing and see you back here soon.
 

Steve, wishing the best for your wife, hope the surgery goes smoothly with no complications and she has a speedy recovery. :love_heart:
 
Best wishes to your wife, it makes a huge difference to a persons recovery having a loving caring partner ....The medical world has come a long way with replacements,I belive here in Australia they get you out of bed for excersise the day after the operation. I know several in the dancing world who have had knees replaced and doing well all back dancing
Both of you take care and we will see you when your back
 
Thanks everyone for the encouragement and the best wishes..

We are getting nervous here in our house as we prepare to leave early Wednesday morning for Sault Ste. Marie..

Would you believe it ??? They are forecasting a bruiser of a snowstorm on Wednesday which is our travelling day from Massey to Sault Ste. Marie (about 3 hours drive)...
Although it is a bit early, they are also forecasting a snow storm on Sunday which is the day we come home..
Like I said, I am taking the truck and NOT the car.. Still have the snow tires on the truck..

Here's wishing the others that are also having some sort of operation all the best for a speedy recovery..

Catch you all next week !!!!!
 
Just a quick note that I am back and the operation went well..
Naturally there were some minor complications but nothing we couldn't overcome.. They gave her blood thinners to prevent clotting, but it also prevented the incision from clotting so it bled for a few days after the operation..
There again, they gave her pain killers to kill the pain, but it also causes constipation which we had to overcome by more pills..
She is starting to weight bear which is good.. She starts physiotherapy at the local hospital on Tuesday.. The staples are supposed to come out on Thursday (maybe)....

As it is Passover today, unfortunately we are passing over Passover this year.. Her attention and care is more important..
Also NO Easter this year either..
 
Hello Steve, So glad your wife's surgery went well and hope she has a good recovery.
It takes time to get better from an operation but having a caring husband looking after
her will be such a big help in how she feels.
 
My best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery, Steve. Please keep us updated if you have time.
 
A quick update on my wife (Annmarie) condition after her operation.. After 5 days, she was still bleeding from the incision.. We took her to the local clinic where they packed it and the bleeding stopped.. She then developed a small hemorrhage in her eye that was due to a broken blood vessel.. The staples were supposed to come out on Thursday but the doctor decided one more week would be better.. She has started physio twice a week even though the staples are still in.. The doctor put her on antibiotics because of a bit of red around the incision..
I will keep you updated as things change..
 
Tomorrow (Monday) we are off to Sault Ste. Marie for a follow-up appointment for Ann-Marie with her specialist to check out the progress in her knee..
We will be getting up very early, go to physio for her knee, come back home, load up the truck, take the dog, and drive (about 4 hours) to Sault Ste. Marie..
Her physio is at 11:00am which means arriving in the Sault about5:00ish.. Have a light supper, and hit the hay early as we will be exhausted.. Get up early, have breakfast at the hotel, pack up but not load, go to the appointment, go back to the hotel to load, get the dog and go home...
Her appointment with her specialist is on Tuesday at 10:00am in the hospital..

Obviously I am taking the truck as it is much easier for her to get into and out of..
 
I will be gone for a few days next week..
Monday is a legal holiday here in Canada, so we leave on Tuesday and will be gone for a few days..
Going to Sault Ste. Marie for a 2 month check-up for my wife's new knee.. Appointment is on Wednesday..
Her specialist wants to see her as a follow-up..

So far, she is doing just great.. She walks without a cane in the house but carries one when outside when she walks the dog for about 10 minutes..
 
Home safe and sound..
We ran into a SNOW storm in Sault Ste. Marie on the day we were leaving for home.. Yes I have 4 brand new tires I just put on the car, but they are not snow tires.. I drove slowly and we made it and as I drove further east from the Sault, the snow turned to rain which was good..

The doctor was pleased with her progress but she has more to go.. Another follow-up for mid September which will make it 6 months from surgery..

NOW !!!!!

We off again on Monday morning to North Bay for another of Annmarie's medical appointments.. This time we will be returning home on Wednesday.. Hopefully there will be better weather however as I write this post, it is -5c out and that is the way it has been all week.. Way below seasonal temperature wise..

I will keep you posted on everything when I return.......
 
Just to update you on what is going on here as far as the weather goes....

Today is the first day of summer.. June 21st.... Well, that is "so they say" because ........
We still have the electric blanket on the bed as it gets cold at night.. I mean COLD !!!
We planted our flower and vegetable garden a few weeks ago and got hit with a FROST a few nights ago..
We are still NOT wearing our summer clothes such as shorts, sandals, "T" shirts etc.....
The black flies are the size of June bugs and the mosquitos are the size of small birds...

Now, summer is officially here as of today.. Perhaps things will change but the weather channel is still forecasting cool times ahead...
Is this really summer or has it forgot to come this year ??????

Oh, By the way........... HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL THE FATHERS ON HERE .....
 
I like to have the four season's but cold is cold and i'd sooner have the shorter winter's and from april on the start of the spring and then summer etc etc,
How people live in very cold places beats me:eek:nthego:
