Hey there. Sorry I disappeared for a week! I have been playing nurse to my husband, who had total knee replacement surgery. It was a long time coming, and we are so glad he finally bit the bullet and did it. His surgery took place down in the Bay Area, so I stayed down there to be close to him. I am happy to say he is recovering very well, and is trying to hobble around with his walker doing a few of his regular activities.
Needless to say, no sewing got done over the past week, but I am trying to rectify that issue this week!
Hope all my American friends all had a great 4th of July celebration!

Hope your husband heals well. I have had both of my knees replaced and it was the best thing I ever did.

Hope he is being a patient patient. I am putting off having mine done for as long as possible.

So glad the knee replacement happened and so far, so good. It takes an awful level of pain to finally kick that problem out the door, but once done! Yay! I too always wanted to be a nurse, prepared for it, started nursing school. But then got lured into medical administrative work. In retirement, I did end up nursing my husband over a 10 year period, from minor care to major. I got in my need for nursing for sure, but what better way than with family.

I hope that your husband is well healed for your Ireland trip and that he can enjoy his time over there. My friend is back and she was in awe of the countryside there, especially the fences!! I hope to get caught up on a few BH blocks this afternoon. Take care!!

Good luck to your husband. Quilters are naturals when it comes to caring for others, especially family members. Hope you can enjoy some time at home now with your projects.

Hope your hubby will recover well and does everything the docs tell him to do or not to do. Konw of a few causes where people were smarter then the docs and let’s just say that’s not how it works.

Hope your hubby recovers quickly. My parents both have had knee replacements. It was painful during the first bit of recovery, but they said the relief from the chronic pain made it all worth it in the end. Sending positive healing thoughts your way. –Andrea

Welcome back, Nicole! Wishing your husband a great recovery. He needs to do as everyone suggests & follow the doctor’s orders to the letter! And, go to physical therapy then do the exercises as home. It pays off in the end!

Wishing your husband a speedy recovery. Tell him to do his exercises everyday! I had my left knee replaced a year ago. I only waited about a year before getting it done. Was glad as I recovered very fast and did all my exercises!! Now the right knee is acting up. 🙁
