NHProud

Thank you , Dani . I’m also happy to learn that your hubby is showing improvement. After only 6 days after surgery Steve was in the kitchen cooking spareribs, potatoes and corn and it was only after loud protests from me did he sit down. I told on him and he was scolded by the physical therapist. PT is coming today for the 5th house visit and then 1 more home visit then outpatient.

Graham , I’m sorry to “ hear “ your latest news of your office visit . My husband wasn’t hesitant about getting his knees replaced and I’m glad he did it sooner than later . Both of us are not getting any younger . He is doing very well thanks to his brilliant surgeon . The staff of 7 who attended him sent him a nice greeting card wishing him a speedy recovery. Nice gesture from a large hospital. Wishing you well !

@dani negreanu Good news , Dani about your husband. Looks delicious and I agree with you about the missing ingredient. I hope , you can now reschedule your trip to Marrakech and Madrid. @lenquixote66 There is news coming out of the Michael J Fox foundation about the discovery of a new chromosome marker for PD that will lead to improved treatment and care .Webinar on Thursday at 12:00 PM ET .

@Sea Dog A little something to toast King Charles on his coronation day . My niece works in marketing for this company so maybe a discount.

Yes , it was a total knee replacement. The surgery took 1 1/2 hours and it was performed manually. This orthopedic surgeon is great at what he does . For @h20skibum It wasn’t laparoscopic. Not enough credit is given to caregivers. That’s my opinion! Thank you to @dani negreanu .

He was given M.A.C.( Monitored Anesthesia Care) including a medication called Versed . He was also given a knee bloc and they mentioned an injection in his back . He didn’t have pain with the 1st knee . We hope it is the same this time, too . We live one mile from the hospital so no travel time home .

Thank you ! It was really quick . He was wheeled into surgery at 11:15 AM and we were home at 3:00 PM . Problem is he won’t listen to me . At 4:00 his nose was in the fridge planning dinner.

@Ozark_KidSending prayers your way. Keep a positive mindset . We are your sounding board , here. I’m in the hospital waiting room and will be joining my husband in the recovery room after his knee replacement surgery . Everything went well ! Thank you for your kind words.

@jagsfan So sorry this happened to you and ruined most of your weekend. I have an appointment tomorrow to transfer the data from my iPhone to my new iPad . I , too , am not a computer genius but learned from your post what to avoid . Best Buy has sent me e-mails on what to do before my appointment and one thing is to store the contents on iCloud and they included a link . I would have been clueless, otherwise. I know about restore to factory setting and that is what I did when I passed on my phone to my daughter. Again , so sorry about the loss of your brother’s voicemail.

@A&L_Ont Stunning photo.

We don’t have to file our taxes , federal and state , until October in California because of the impact the rain had on our state . Congratulations , Sue , on your casino winnings ! I’m just wondering if RCG gives you an end of the year statement on your winnings for tax purposes. You must keep a record of your losses , too. There are 8 casinos on Native American reservations within a 40 mile radius of my home and 3 had shuttles one of which used to pick-up 1/2 mile away. There aren’t any shuttles operating now because of Covid and all but one has eliminated their buffets. I used to go regularly and my hubby always asked how much did you win ? Never how much did you lose which would have been not so good to report. There’s a saying that the house always wins in the end . Do you have to report your comped cruises as income?

It has been that way for a long time . The first time I visited Israel we couldn’t visit the Mount of Olives . In Bethlehem we were told to not wander off and just go to the church of the Nativity and back to the bus.

It is not your usual tourist dining spot . How many tourists dine there ? It is probably closed to the public now.

Were you ever able to enter the Chrysler building? I tried once but was turned away after entering the lobby ! I guess the most unusual place I’ve been to in NYC is the dining room at the UN . At Easter , I remember my travels to Jerusalem and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Happy Easter to those who celebrate .

You want to be fit to fully enjoy cruising and of course your activities at home . Someone once told me about cataract surgery which I was putting off that it was inevitable and should get it done because I wasn’t getting any younger . Good luck with whatever you decide.

Thank you , Greg ! I hope you find some resolution to your knee pain , also .

That is sad that your husband was in so much pain and your doc was unavailable. I’m so very sorry for him and for you . You were looking forward to your trip and had to cancel. My husband started taking Omeprazole yesterday in advance of his 2nd knee replacement on Tuesday . He has no qualms about getting it done . He had a much easier time than @Sea Dog . After hearing the latest news from Israel be safe and take care !

I don’t think Caesar’s is a MGM property . The Bellagio is and Andrew may want to check that out . Of course, Google could be wrong.

Stay safe Dani ! Praying for you and your family.

Very nice ! The food at the Michael Mina restaurant at the Bellagio is delicious. We took my hubby’s employer and his wife to dinner there . It was very good but quite expensive.

That is a great view of The Strip . Are you staying at Caesar’s Palace and if so which tower ?

Sea RN only because it has a slight connection to see your medical professional. I’m not going to comment on Kramer’s license plate on Seinfeld. Wishing you and your new found family many happy times , together. So very happy for you and your dad .

Do you mean Caitlin Clark ? Admittedly tonight’s game was not all that interesting since we lost . And , there were lots of foul shots . What is more interesting is your conflict with MM on your roll call .

I don’t watch women’s basketball even though I lettered in basketball in high school.

At half time it doesn’t look good for SDSU . We moved to SD in 1972 . No tee shirts .
