Well, tomorrow at 5:30 AM, I`m to be at Florida Hospital for knee replacement surgery(gulp). DD#3 and her hubby will be taking me. I miss my house and home in NM, but They take good care of me here until I can fly home.I have been on a yarn buying spree here because of all the tempting bargains and beautiful yarn Elann has been offering. I`m glad the colors I coveted in DB Cathay were gone by the time I got there. One less white box to carry home.Can`t take laptop to hospital, so will check out all when I get out of re-hab. Two and a half weeks until then. Evie

I`ll be thinking about you tomorrow, Evie, while you`re getting a new knee. When you get back to DD`s house, check in and let us know how you are doing. I was able to use my laptop in the hospital, DH bought it for me and brought it to the hospital because he knew I`d go nuts. Good thing, I ended up spending nearly a month in the hospital all together so I would have been really cranky. ;-) Luckily, the hospital had a wireless network for patients to sign on as guests. I didn`t order anything while I was in the hospital, I wasn`t comfortable putting my credit card on their wireless network but I was able to chat here when I felt up to it. Also ordering yarn under the influence of narcotics is not usually a good idea. HA!
Take care, do what the docs and nurses tell you, we`ll be here when you get back. :-)

Good Luck to you Evie. I`ll be remembering when I had it done 6 years ago. Time flies. I had both knees done at the same time, so it will be a piece of cake for you. Be nice to the nurses and they will treat you special. Whenever anyone complains about a nurse, it`s usually because the patient has been very snarly with the nurse. And, Use the drugs when you need them. They don`t give out any gold stars for being stoic. You will heal faster if the body doesn`t have to deal with excess pain.
We`ll be waiting to hear from you when you can.

You are probably in surgery NOW, Evie. I hope you packed a sufficient amount of yarn to get you thru the first weeks, with easy "I can do this on meds" patterns!
Hug!
