Friday lunch time and I'm back once again.

[dinky]

Good morning Pamela and Shelley,
Well I've just arrived back at home again after staying out at Brenna's. I am so sorry that I haven't contacted either of you and Janna has told me that you have both been emailing me, wondering where I was. Well.............. I've been back in hospital, as you might have guessed and have had a third operation on my left knee. I was getting terrible pain in that leg after the operation and I kinda knew that something wasn't right.Anyway it seems that my body was rejecting the implant, which is odd because I have the same implant in the other leg. I ended up going back to the surgeon as i couldn't walk at all and my whole leg was swelling up. Long story short, after heaps of tests, he finally had to remove the implant altogether and replace it with a different one. That was 3 weeks ago. So far, it seems to be OK and the wound is healing, but I'm back on lots of medication and it's been playing with my mind a bit. I've been staying at brenna's as I haven't been allowed to walk much, but now i can manage to hobble around a bit on one crutch, even though it's very painful still. I am NEVER going to have another operation as long as I live. I'd rather die.

Thank you both so much, for remembering me . I know I should have got Janna to email you but I was so out of it. Knowing you were both thinking of me kept me going. I really did hit rock bottom this time, but at least I'm home now with Janna and the cats, who don't seem to remember me at all., but I guess they'll come around.

I haven't caught up with any of your news yet, but Pamela, I did think of you being on holiday and I hoped you were having a great time. And Shelley, I thought of you staying at the van and thought of you doing those lovely long walks with the pups. My anaethetist (spelling?) told me that when I was coming round after the operation, I was talking about you both and telling him about your fur babies. Speaking of fur babies, I hope that they are all doing well.

I will go now and catch up on your news and the latest forum news. I still don't like sitting down for too long,as it gets really painful, so I keep changing my chairs. Once I've caught up to date, I'll contact you both. I see that the forum is going to change, so I'll have to read about that as well .

I'll really make an effort to post on the forum each day. I know it will help my state of mind as well, and I have missed hearing all your news I never want to lose , Pamela and Shelley, I value your friendship so much. Oh yeah, Harry the Burwood Hospital cat sends his love. The calendar of Harry isn't available until November but i have one ordered for each of you.

Sorry about any spelling errors in this post . If I go back and correct them, I risk deleting the whole thing.

Have a great Friday, Pamela and Shelley, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for not forgetting about me.
