2:10 am

rubyfoo

hi rose, usual morning aches and pains but (large) breakfast is finished and cleaned up, so I have a little time tomyself

2:10 am

rubyfoo

and you? less and less pain every day, I hope!

2:11 am

grannyrose

atta girl. i've slacked off today. been to church, then not a whole lot of much else

2:11 am

rubyfoo

church is good, but no kneeling! lol

2:12 am

grannyrose

not allowed to kneel for 6 weeks.lol got a special dispensation from the man upstairs.

2:13 am

rubyfoo

excellent!

2:17 am

grannyrose

oh, btw, i actually dressed myself totally this AM. including hte compression stocking, and doing up my shoes

2:18 am

rubyfoo

that's terrific. the compressin stockings must be a bear but are probably worse to remove.....

2:20 am

grannyrose

that's just it, ruby, with all the pre-op physio, i can reach my feet so much easier. i can't believe all the pre-op stuff is paying off in such a good way.

2:21 am

rubyfoo

wow, half very fst!

2:21 am

grannyrose

yay, ruby

2:21 am

rubyfoo

for me, getting dressed is one of the hardest things in the day, especially socks

2:22 am

rubyfoo

(not cloe to nbt or nbs, tough

2:22 am

rubyfoo

close*

2:23 am

grannyrose

you're probably closer than you think

2:23 am

Christine

Grannyrose, may I ask about your pre-op physio? I'm due for another knee replacement, also a hip replacement, so any hints would be appreciated.

2:24 am

rubyfoo

{{christine}} do hugs help?

2:24 am

Christine

If only there was a hugger in reach.

2:24 am

Christine

I mean, in addition to you, dear.

2:24 am

rubyfoo

I have one old one and two fuzzy ones I could loan you....

2:25 am

grannyrose

christine, did a lot of straight leg lifts, at least 10 morning and night, before i got up, and before i went to slepp. also pulling hard on my quads, trying to press the back of my knee into the mattress

2:25 am

Christine

My doctor wrote a prescription for me to get a dog - not allowed in the apartment complex, but this may be enforceable

2:26 am

rubyfoo

maybe if it's for medical reasons......

2:26 am

Christine

An actual prescription, on aregular prescription form.

2:26 am

rubyfoo

can't imagine life without dogs

2:26 am

grannyrose

on stationary bike twice a day, built up to 15mins twice a day, increasing the resistance on the pedals, slowly

2:27 am

Christine

Oh Grannyrose, after my replacement, I did those, with a tenpound weight on each ankle for the lifts, and same weights across my knees when pressing back on the bed.

2:27 am

grannyrose

i also walked as far as i could along the footpath/road each day, making sure i could get back again.

2:28 am

Christine

I'm so bloomin' lazy, but I think I need a stationary bike.

2:29 am

rubyfoo

husband uses a stationary bike, 3 or 4 times a week for at least 35 mins and it is making a difference -- and he's almost 87!

2:29 am

grannyrose

christine, doing them pre-op prepares the muscles more than you can imagine, my physio says he has never seen anyone at my stage of recovery with such a great range of movement.

2:30 am

rubyfoo

stats, pls, for the lonely f and the 8

2:30 am

grannyrose

usually he doesn't introduce the bike back into the exercise regimen until week 4-5. i am only just on week3 tomorrow

2:31 am

grannyrose

fi4, fi + ** the scene of the crime

2:32 am

Christine

What I really want is a magic spell that just zaps it for me - which is why the doctor thinks I need a small dog that needs walkies a couple times a day.

2:32 am

grannyrose

ho8, begins with 4 letters of institution for sick + 3rd vowel + spanish aunt

2:33 am

rubyfoo

ty for the 8

2:33 am

grannyrose

i also lost a heap of weight pre-op, about 31lbs

2:34 am

rubyfoo

I think the weight makes a huge diff with knees!

2:35 am

Christine

Well, since the op, I lost about 40 when I gave up sugar, and I'm sure that's why I can now walk almost a block without stopping. But I have a compromised lungs

2:35 am

rubyfoo

atip

2:35 am

rubyfoo

sorry for the non-word

2:36 am

grannyrose

well done christine, keep it up

2:36 am

rubyfoo

40, just from sugar, that's amazing!

2:36 am

Christine

That was 2years ago, can't think of anything else I can give up.

2:37 am

Christine

Rubyfoo, if you knew how much sugar I used in a day - 6-8 cups of tea each day with adessertspoon of sugar each time.

2:38 am

grannyrose

* giggle * christine i stopped all processed carbohydrates, plus a few of the obvious ones, like potato, pumpkin, squash, peas, corn

2:39 am

rubyfoo

that's impressive, Christine. Do you still like tea?

2:39 am

rubyfoo

nofat

2:39 am

Christine

We have a saying in my family - it's hell being 39. But my knees started to go at about 20, and the doctors thought I'd be in a wheelchair before 30, so I guess I'm doingokay.

2:40 am

rubyfoo

39! I would love to see 39 again!!!!

2:40 am

Christine

stick another N in there, and you have no6/27

2:40 am

grannyrose

almost ruby, just add another single hump

2:40 am

rubyfoo

I did, rose, after I typed it in the wrong place. Pls don't tell!

2:41 am

grannyrose

lol ruby...mum's the word

2:41 am

Christine

I'll soon hit it for the second time -- just a few more years. But 39 was okay, first time around.

2:42 am

rubyfoo

I loved 39, but 42-47 were even better!

2:43 am

rubyfoo

nose bob and new job at 40! started running at 42

2:44 am

2:45 am

rubyfoo

thank you, ladies, 57 words and now I can get dressed or husband will start yelling!

2:46 am

grannyrose

christine, i loved turning 50...realised i was half a century old.....and i could speak my mind, politely of course, with confidence

2:47 am

Christine

And I think I'll go - I picked up 22 books at the library, and I'm itching to get to them. See you tomorrow.

2:47 am

rubyfoo

50 was grand! 2 1/2 years after cancer, and I realized I'd be fine!

2:47 am

grannyrose

hmmmm, now what could burt be possibly yell if ruby is starkers?

2:47 am

Christine

I read where in China (?Japan) at 50 a wiman can say whatever she wants, and be revered because of her age.

2:47 am

rubyfoo

by tomorrow you'll have read 11! hahah

2:48 am

grannyrose

later christine, have a good one

2:48 am

rubyfoo

he's run away screaming!

2:48 am

Christine

Actually, I read 10-12 a week, so by tomorrow, I'll have made a dent in them, but I also need to do some work on quilts for the Children's Hospital.

2:48 am

grannyrose

lol, ruby, well that's one way to get rid of him

2:49 am

rubyfoo

that is a lot of reading!

2:49 am

Christine

Oh you tease.

2:49 am

rubyfoo

he's just invited his daughter to visit (again!!!) in September.

2:49 am

rubyfoo

he's just invited his daughter to visit (again!!!) in September.

2:50 am

Christine

That's so great, you posted twice??

2:50 am

rubyfoo

actually, she's a great houseguest, but after she leaves, all he does is gripe!

2:50 am

grannyrose

oh for pete's sake. can't you go and visit sprite or something?

2:50 am

rubyfoo

He spoke more with Sprite than he has with his daughter in many years (combined)

2:51 am

rubyfoo

can't leave here at all, now that Ms. Ruby has developed a heart condition.

2:51 am

rubyfoo

maybe he can go and visit Sprite!

2:51 am

grannyrose

true, maybe take ruby with you>

2:52 am

Christine

How would Sprite feel about that?

2:52 am

rubyfoo

I am trying to keep Ruby calm and close, spend hours stroking her, bringing her heart rate down

2:53 am

rubyfoo

he won't go anywhere, except out to lunch.....

2:53 am

Christine

Poor baby

2:53 am

rubyfoo

but she's responding to the meds, so, hopefully, she'll have some more comfortable time with us

2:54 am

rubyfoo

I've started trimming her fur, hoping to take some of the weight off and cool her down

2:54 am

rubyfoo

and now, poofers!

2:57 am

grannyrose

night dear friends, ruby and christine. of to have dinner. see you at the flip

2:57 am

Christine

I'm off, too. God bless.

5:28 am

sprite

good afternoon, Babble friends... if any are still around, that is.

5:32 am

Kazzer99

Hi Sprite - I am on for a short while - need to do lunch soon

5:32 am

sprite

hi Kazz :)

5:33 am

sprite

glad for your company, however short

5:34 am

Kazzer99

seems a bit quite - folks sleeping in on a Sunday perhaps

5:34 am

sprite

yes or are busy with family stuff

5:35 am

Kazzer99

we have been out and got some fungus treatment for the garden and we are digging spuds again this afternoon

5:35 am

sprite

sounds good! It is raining here again... our summer is kind of a long Autumn. No garden work today.

5:36 am

Kazzer99

we had a tremendous thunderstorm yesterday afternoon - v slow moving and caused some localised flooding again

5:37 am

sprite

I dear... that is always so bad. I hope Jac is ok!

5:38 am

sprite

did you have any flooding yourself?

5:41 am

Kazzer99

No we live up a hill - we occasionally have a river down the road but surprisingly here its the roads on the top of the hill that flood. They have dips and hollows where the water cat drain away - it can get exciting

5:41 am

sprite

am glad you are ok then :)

5:43 am

Kazzer99

I think it would have to to be really really horrendous to affect us badly. We might get cut off in places but generally we are v lucky - even the bad snow only lasted a day or so.

5:43 am

sprite

what a blessing!

6:02 am

sprite

fireflies. Bye all. Bye Kazz :)

6:09 am

Kazzer99

bye sprite - off my self shortly.

We did our parties up to about age 6 at either the children's museum or the Y -- partly because our homes wer so very tiny and partly because I knew I needed extra help to herd all those little people

2:48 pm

Uneaixoise

ho8 rhymes with the name of Gomez's true love in The Addams Family :-)

2:51 pm

If I had 5 gonads.. I wouldn't have a brain either

rururocks

3:02 pm

Uneaixoise

3:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:08 pm

uusue2

Thanks, alta! if you like warm, you would like it here today...

5:09 pm

Altagolfnut5

been so nice here all week too, till today.....much needed rain but it sure ruined my plans! golf tourney rained out!

5:10 pm

uusue2

oh, bummer :-(. We could use that rain here! Corn fields are all dried out.

5:10 pm

Altagolfnut5

as long as the farmers are happy, guess I shouldn't complain about a golf game

5:11 pm

Altagolfnut5

not liking this grid much!

5:12 pm

uusue2

It is a little stinker. I can clue if you want.

5:13 pm

6:14 pm

stidmama

that's the H I was looking for. hope your weekend is going well?

6:14 pm

uusue2

yes, although right now it is too hot

6:16 pm

stidmama

sorry about the heat. It's gray and humid and looking thundery again here. And not very warm.

6:17 pm

stidmama

I think it's better than your heat, though.

6:18 pm

uusue2

I think so too. The crops are not doing well, and all the lawns are crispy brown.

6:20 pm

stidmama

Our crops are late, and need more sunshine to sweeten, but at least they are alive -- a bigger concern for me is that with the damp weather there is a lot more underbrush and grass growth this year. If we have a late long, dry summer fires are going to be really out of control.

6:21 pm

uusue2

Fires are usually not a worry here, but most of our corn is already tasselled (VERY early, and some quite stunted) and some is already dry.

6:23 pm

stidmama

oh, that's really awful. Poor farmers.

6:25 pm

uusue2

ok, I am too hot here and need to go where it is cooler. BBL.
