Dear Ginnie

i am sorry about your ankles! i hate progressive diseases. they should just... arghh... be not allowed! there!

Good luck tomorrow, i hope the pain med works well and you are able to get stuff done to your satisfaction. just being in the yard will be good for your spirits i think.

~ waves ~ who also loves hot-dogs... sigh... but i only eat them maybe couple times a year.... i don't know how you prep yours, but you know what i do? i poke holes in it all up and down and around, then i boil it in a bowl in the microwave for about a min... a good bit of fat seeps out that way. it also gets some of the salt out. you can also use stovetop, same principle but slower.

Dear Ginnie, I am sorry that your ankles are giving out on you...wish there was some magic pill. hope the pain med works and you can enjoy your yard work.

Please keep me in your thoughts. This week I sent my ankle and foot records to Ohio. This place is the only in the country doing trial study on ankle replacement surgery. I don't know what my chances are with this. I may not qualify for a number of reasons, medicare/medicaid problems, too old, too many different health conditions, I dont know. I just hope. There isn't much more than I could do besides this. Two new ankles and a big toe joint is needed for me to stay on my feet.

today I did work at my sons house. I took two percocet in 8 hours, and got the job done. I didn't take one at all yesterday, so I had enough to get me through the job. I am pooped now for sure and will sleep like a baby
Thanks Bizi for your concern. I sure am scared about the whole situation I am in. Not walking is not fun! take care, ginnie

Thank you about the ankle wish. I posted to bizi about it so I won't repete. I took the meds and worked almost 7 hours at my sons house. he paid for my dental, so Nan and I helped him out with his very messy yard. I am good and tired.
We grilled the hot dogs very well, so much of the fat content was gone. I won't do it often. Had gilled fish tonight, Yum, and I also burned off a ton of calories today. It felt good to work, but I am walking like a little old lady and hurt all over! I feel like 90 right now! I will hit the bed early with a book and sleep real good tonight.
Have a good night waves. Please keep me in your thoughts as I go through the process of trying to get some real help with my ankles. I am 60 years old, and I am not sure what this trial study accepts. My records were sent up north on monday of this week. I sure hope I can get the help! ginnie

Dear Ginnie,

I surely will keep you in my thoughts. I wish for you that this place in Ohio takes you... and does a good job so you can have some spring in your step again!

thanks for posting back, and i hope you do sleep like a baby and wake up feeling good.

mmm... grilled hot-dogs are the best! *drool (tastier than boiled! )

I woke up this morning and could barely get out of bed. I over did it yesterday in the yard at my sons house. I did too much! There is not one part of me not hurting right now. I just guess I was so out of shape, and then worked too many hours. Even hurts my finger joints to type. Took aleve, and I am going to sit back for awhile. Maybe this afternoon I will go into my own garden and try working some of that stiffness out of me.You should have seen me trying to get out of bed, it was really pretty funny....ginnie

I know for sure I can't do that much again. If I were not so stiff it would be darn right funny! Even sitting on the potty hurts! I am off to bed, and I can hardly wait to not move! I took aleve, and I will read for awhile. I did try and work some of the stiffness out today but it was a bit ruff. I just want to do things, and not just sit, Know what I mean? I was never the type of person that sat still anyway. so this being disabled stuff is icky! take care of yourself waves, I think of this site in prayer ever day in one way or the other. ginnie
