For those of you playing along at home, about six months ago I got diagnosed with fast-growing cataracts. Doctor said I’d need to get my lenses replaced in three to five years. One of the other things about fast-growing cataracts is that they start in the center of the lens.…
About nine months ago I had a full knee replacement, on my right knee.
I feel that at this point, I’m between 85-90% healed.
I have my doubts about reaching 100% by the 12 month mark, but you never know.
One of the milestones that I reached last week was the ability to squat all the way down.…
I’ve been pretty successful getting more veggies into my diet. This includes eating more salads, having more veggies with dinners, etc.
However, I can’t eat salad every day, not like I used to. Am still too close to being burned out on salad.…
I will admit that I made a mistake recently, and am in the process of course correction.
Back in 2017, I started following the Wahls Paleo Plus. It meant being in ketosis, as well as eating six cups of veggies every day.…
I had knee replacement surgery about six months ago. I figured now would be a good time to report in about what I’m experiencing.
One of the things I wanted to emphasize, is that every person’s body is different. My brother, who is 10 years older than I am, had a full knee replacement one month before mine.…
For those of you playing along at home, I’ve been having some problems with my left thumb. I went to see a hand surgeon in February. He diagnosed arthritis.
Yesterday, I went to see a hand therapist. This is not a general physical therapist who does hands.…
As y’all may recall, I’ve been diagnosed with arthritis in my left thumb. I had originally been concerned as I was in some pain and there wasn’t going to be a lot that anyone could do about it. The surgery didn’t sound like fun either.…
It’s been twelve weeks since I had a full knee replacement.
I know, I know. Last week I said it was the last of the knee reports. I’d also planned on having a MUCH different holiday than I did. However, instead of flying to MN to visit family, Blaze and I stayed in WA.…
Eleven weeks ago I had full knee replacement surgery.
This will be the last sort of update that focuses mostly on my knee. Next week are the holidays and I’ll be busy.
After that, come January, I’m going back to my occasional accountability posts, to keep track of the things that are important at the time.…
Ten weeks ago I had full knee replacement surgery done.
This last week felt like a real turning point for me. The swelling noticeably went down another notch. As did my pain levels. While my knee is still sore to the touch, when I stretch it, it’s a lot less painful.…
