      awh thanks jenny they cant do the other leg tkr till the wound on the leg is healed went to primary care yesterday as i found one of the two stiches they couldnt find when the stitches were taken out however god is good Ive had a few tears this morning hugs of the hubby and now im fighting back smile They said they would do the leg in 4 months time to give the fall leg time to heal as it was a real bad injury so they tell me im 72 so things dont heal as quick as they do when younger However onwards and upwards and keep doing the right things and ill get there maybe not till next yeat but i will xxxx

    Geez.......  The only good thing about the Dark Side is that they have great cookies.  Take it slow...one thing at a time...and NEVER let any of this get you depressed.  They are just challenges to be overcome.  We're all with you...
