morning, Tuesday and the days are going fast. I hope that you are all in good health and that your day is a pleasant one. I am not sure how i continue on with GMEB, though i would like to.
My health has deteriorated to such a bad degree that i can no longer stand even with others help.
My knee/leg have very little weight bearing on it and consequently i am not able to get up and down with any ease. sorry to be so much of a downer on a nice thread.
If i don't post much today, bear with me as the pain is unbearable and if i don't post tomorrow by say 5.30am then someone can take over.

Oh emmie, what on earth happened? Your good knee is ok, no? Why can’t you use the crutches?
Question Author
morning Naomi, so much has happened, its way too complicated to try and explain on here.
i am however on crutches but can't put much weight on them, i am before long going to topple over. I have a care package in place with carers coming in twice a day, which means letting them in, true agony just getting up. I am not even sure i can manage to let them in this morning. sorry to be so much of a downer as i said,
GMEB has been a good run but not sure i can continue on, will see how today pans out. Trying to not let this thread be all about
my woes. I know that many contribute and are generally happy people.
Good morning all!
Emmie So sorry to hear you are going through a difficult time.
I think you should seek help and advice from the nurses that come.
I do, so wish things will soon get better.
Take care

morning Chip.

chip i hope your day goes well, take care.
Can you give the carers a spare key to get in with?

Maybe your anxiety isn’t helping, emmie. It must be healing. What does the physiotherapist say?
Question Author
they are looking to set up a key box downstairs, so carers and others can have easy access, this should be done today.
Morning.

Gosh, Emmie, I'm so sorry to hear about your problems. Is it mainly pain and reduced mobility or do you feel systemically unwell? Perhaps the hospital should have sent you to step-down?

I went to GP yesterday. I got completely messed around but eventually got to see the Dr who is worried I might be developing a pneumonia again. I'm on Doxycycline and I'm just hoping and praying I'm not going to get pneumonia again and end up in hospital over Christmas.

We're a right pair, aren't we!

:-(
Good. They work very well. So what has the physio said about your current situation? Try not to panic, emmie. It must improve.
Question Author
knee itself isn't too bad, but something has happened that means i am more of less home bound. The physio said they will fast track a chair that's easier to get out of than my sofa, will see

morning Lcg

Emmie, Don't worry, but try to keep positive.
I'm sure things will start to look up soon
What’s happened? Can you tell me?
Morning Emmie
Sorry to hear how you're feeling forget GMEB and just get yourself fit and healthy, all the best.
Question Author
its pain and almost total immobility i shuffle to the door, but for whatever reason its hard to put left leg down. have enough pain relief and more if i need it, but not working. I too have a chest infection and am on doxycycline.
Question Author
i just can't explain it, but its all so much worse. anyway people perhaps someone can inject some much needed upbeat news.
Question Author
morning RT, thank you
Have you spoken with your surgeon or GP about your leg? I take it you're on Clexane whilst non-weight-bearing and there's no suspicion of DVT?
That’s rotten but it will improve, emmie. Try not to let it depress you. Attitude helps a lot in the healing process, it really does. Take it one day at a time.
I’ll try to brighten the mood. What to buy the man who has everything is a problem … so this year, among other things, he’s got pizza scissors.
