Good Morning Early Birds

[emmie]

morning, Thursday already, the days are rolling by so quickly i can't keep up
I hope that you are all in good health and that your day is a pleasant one. Do you have any plans for today?

I have an extremely important phone call to take at 08.30 from the nurse at the hospital where i am having my knee operation. The call apparently could last as long as 1 1/2 hours so have to be off here early on. I still can't take it in that this operation will be going ahead.

todays forecast for the capital is a lowly 16c, with partly sunny skies.

Morning Emmie x

[Smowball]

Been woken up by Molly nipping my leg lol. It’s their thing now to let me know they want breakfast one of them comes and nips me - could be leg, arm, or somewhere posterior!! Lol

[emmie]

morning smow,
they can be playful at that age, or any age really,

how are you ?

[Smowball]

Yes , Molly and Daisy are sisters, and they’re only 14 months old. I’m not too bad - had a bad night painwise so am struggling at the mo. Don’t like to mention it too much to MrSmow as I’m sure he’s sick of hearing about it lol, plus he’s got an awful lot on his plate work wise - he’s absolutely up to his eyes in it. He shouldn’t keep taking new contracts on!!

[emmie]

that's what o/h are there for, to talk, have a moan about problems, i am sure he listens smow.

[Smowball]

He does emmie, but am sure he is sick of it all the time. Plus I don’t like to burden him when he has got so much on his plate. He’s taken far too much on!! Anyway, what are you up to today?? I can’t believe it’s Thursday already!

[emmie]

if you read the top post it says what i am up to - it's going to be a long call by the looks of it.

[Smowball]

So sorry emmie. I had t taken that in. Did they say why the call could be so long?

[emmie]

i guess they have to cover all bases, all my medical history perhaps, and the facts of the up and coming operation. Other than that no idea.

Morning, all. Emmie, A 1.5 hour phone call?. The operation itself won't take much longer than that! My wife had both knees done (Not at the same time of course), and it doesn't take long to do. She got a local and not a general anesthetic.

morning Sanmac

[Smowball]

Morning sanmac. You wife had both knees done?

[Smowball]

Just curious - how old was she when she had them done?

[emmie]

i know, but apparently op takes between 1-3 hours, so maybe the nurse needs to go through it. other than that i am hoping it won't take as long

[sanmac]

Smowball, she was 75 when she had the first one, and the second one was a year later.

[Smowball]

Sanmac, I had no idea you could even have them done under local anaesthetic! Wow, you learn something new every day.

[sanmac]

Anyway, Emmie, the important point is that you are finally getting you knee done...Great news!

Morning Emmie
I would think the phone call would be about recovery and rehab mine took 12 weeks 6 of which were on crutches.
