Ahhh..bliss!

I had knee replacements about 25 years ago and they are
totally worn out but my doctor and I agree that they should
be left alone. Lately the left knee is swelling and giving
me trouble. I had bought a pair of compression socks for
Ted and I to wear on the plane. I put them on this morning
and it was instant relief from pain. I love them. They
just look like garden variety knee socks and they have made
me able to walk and enjoy it again. I shan't go today because
it is raining but I couldn't go yesterday and missed it badly.

Avis just called me. She got her package and loves the
sweaters and they all fit. She says she needs more exercise
and since she is the only one in her facility that can walk,there is no exercise room.

I have to make cup cakes for Ashley's party. She requested
red velvet with cream cheese icing.

I would have the kids over for dinner Sunday but Bobby is very
grumpy. He has two big tests coming up and then I think he
will have his Masters in 3 more hours. His family will be
very glad.

Hope the socks help with your legs and the weather improves enough for you to walk again soon.

I walked last night and my legs hurt so I may take it easy for a while and
try the boring old treadmill.

Hi, if you are going to be okay without more work on your knees, fine. But my friend had hip replacement at 80 and was frisky as a kid after her therapy. I had miniscus repair in each knee from ballet work stress in the late 90s a couple of years apart. Then got therapy, and returned to class and actually got better. Great doctor.

You know I am not making velvet cake but I like to hear about it.

Having gone through knee replacement on both knees, I shan't do it again as
long as the ones I have function. They hurt sometimes but doesn't everything.

I think I brought home compression socks from my last stay in the hospital. They have an opening on the toe end? I have a brace for my right knee, with metal on both sides and four straps to hold it on, but socks would be so much more convenient. The purpose of the brace is to force fluid into the joint, so forging blood up my leg might have the same effect.

These socks are like a miracle. My leg doesn't hurt at all this morning.
I'll bet they would solve the problem.

One of these days I'm going to make a red velvet cake just because I never have. I've got some red food color I'll never use. We used to think we needed it in the hummingbird juice but found out different so it's just lying around.

I plan to snarf up some of those cup cakes myself. It will be a first for
me...I have never made one. I had a wonderful home ec teacher in highschool
and we made a lot of lady baltimore cakes. They were so good but I haven't
made on since.
