Yes… patience the key. Need to let the healing process have its time. You will get there. Good luck…The Monday before the last visit to the surgeon, I tripped over a kink in the hose in our front yard and fell. It was terrifying but I managed to twist and land on my right side. I was sore from shoulder to ankle and the new knee seemed to stiffen up again. Fortunately the x-rays were good and they said everything felt right. They said take it easy, be careful, and be patient. Feels pretty good now as I continue to do my exercises at home. Used the cane some more afterward for reassurance. We haven't committed to the bowl game yet due to the crazy portal shenanigans. WIll and I did have a good time at the WF game once the offense woke up and took advantage of the TOs. It was fun seeing my preseason prediction come true. I hope Belin and the rest of the team gets us to 10-3. I hate that Grayson is leaving. He has so much potential. It was also fun watching men's BB take down Auburn on TV. Happy Holidays everyone and thanks for your support. Details on the spring trip later.

I've just accepted the fact that I'm going to have to live with the neuropathy (that the chemo gave me). I can't wear dress shoes to church and I couldn't wear wear my golf shoes if I wanted to play. But praise God, the cancer is in remission and for that I'm blessed.Hope you heal up take it easy .blood work went well today .except my ldh was high from my liver issues .

My oncologist was pleased .unfortunately my neuropathy may be permanent .I'm not sure just yet .but it's leaning that way.
Happy Holidays.
I'm so sorry to hear this. Prayers for her.My mother-in-law broke her hip last week and the recovery is not going well. Her days of independent living are definitely over and maybe walking as well. Prayers would be appreciated.
I have to wear certain shoes aswell.nothing hard bottomed. Have it in my fingers aswell. fishing line is a chore to tie .I've just accepted the fact that I'm going to have to live with the neuropathy (that the chemo gave me).

probably the biggest change in sartorial choices from when I was a tyke...we'd go out shopping on Saturdays, my father would wear a suit and Florsheims, customary in the 1950s...now geezers flock to comfy shoes as well they (we) should.Glad to hear the remission news.
I have a fashion tidbit to share also. I took an informal survey of footwear choices at my local Furman OLLI chapter. It isn't church, but still people dress nicely. Anyway, out of 60 or people who entered the building only 2 were wearing dress shoes. The others were in comfortable shoes of various types with tennis shoes and sandals (with socks) being the most common choices. The older one gets the more one chooses comfort and over style. Happy face.![]()
When I met with my cancer doctor this month, she asked me if I wanted the port out. I quickly answered, no way. She laughed and said most of her cancer patients who are in remission say the same thing.I have to wear certain shoes aswell.nothing hard bottomed. Have it in my fingers aswell. fishing line is a chore to tie .
They want me to go ahead and get my port out. I'm thinking I may need it with my liver issues . I'll have that discussion tomorrow.
Undoubtedly a smart move, but I’ll pray you never have to use it again!When I met with my cancer doctor this month, she asked me if I wanted the port out. I quickly answered, no way. She laughed and said most of her cancer patients who are in remission say the same thing.
Other blood work was good.have to get a cat scan soon.just a check up.ive sort of grown attached to my port .might get it out in January. It's my crutch.Undoubtedly a smart move, but I’ll pray you never have to use it again!
Absolutely agree. My mother had one for some time before she passed away last month. I’m just wishing everyone well and hoping that the individual ports, while there, don’t have to be used because each person is healthy and doing well.Other blood work was good.have to get a cat scan soon.just a check up.ive sort of grown attached to my port .might get it out in January.

New doc seems ok aswell.
My sister inlaw has him and is displeased. I think he's good .quite sure it's a her problem. I'm not easy to deal with.we got along fine.
