I passed!!! All my appointments, clearances, bloodwork, vitals, down a solid 10lbs (kept it off this time, dang menopause) now it’s time for my new knee! I swore I’d never ever get another surgery! With no cartilage, no meniscus, bone contusions and bakers cysts behind each knee and one elbow, just for kicks(wish I could) and giggles(all I do is laugh) I’m sooooo over this PAIN! It’s gotta get better. I’m useless these days and getting out is a huge struggle! So I’m ready mentally and physically. Staying sedate is not what I like or ever have been! I hate it I can’t wrestle dogs and cats like I use too but clearly God is telling me to slow down! Find a new focus in this life, do things that are meaningful and helpful to others! I have goals when I recover and the top one is to find a house of God that I feel good in my own skin! Another goal is simplify my house and living ways! Too much junk in the house and my head! Time to clean it out and downsize! I’m gonna have a huge yard sale in the spring and totally get rid of 75% of all I have accumulated. Minus my pups of course! I could live without a lot but not my doggo’s ❤️🐶❤️ This is gonna be my new look with hair! No more spending money on useless hair treatments when the good Lord would rather it’s time for me to be gray! I will wear it with pride and stop hiding those sexy grey locks! My poor kids they have had to deal with me completely broken in every way! If I can’t do it for me I sure will do it for them. Love ❤️🐑all and would appreciate prayer for excellent doctor hands and eyes on the 18th! Nurses who can put up with me, aka Padge❤️best nurse ever!! Please pray for my kids they will be stretched to the max!!! My Alyssa is an incredible hard worker but like me she takes on way too much and they gets frustrated. Calla too works way too hard and is way underpaid! She has a million things going on besides her Momma recovering for 8 weeks from a TKR! Perry will be working but I pray he pitches in with helping manage the pups, garbage and he can baby the Frenchlings!! Perry is good at this. For Ainsley my hope is she doesn’t worry or get overwhelmed too much and she keeps her eyes on Princeton, Yale or Harvard, anyone will do really 😉 ThankYou to friends and family willing to help while I’m down and willing to keep me down! Running my businesses, The Unique Pet Care, Bodacious Labradors and guiding Calla @ Calla’s Critter Rescue, well it’s a lot of work, no sleep, sad moments and utter content with happiness! Please keep my crew in your prayers. September 18, gonna be exciting when I finally can walk and function with ease, no or little to no pain!❤️🙏🏼 ThankYou God for technology to fix our bodies, in Your Sons name, Jesus, Amen 🙏🏼
