Hi to all of my wonderful new friends on this most excellent foram site. Just want to share my joyous experience with you. On Saturday I was my granddaughters wedding day, I hadn't had too bad a week but obviously was a little apprehensive as to how the new knee would fare. I need not have worried at 8o clock had breakfast of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs following this I had a 15min walk round the beautiful gardens in perfect weather. I then went to my room, showered ond put on my glad rags and my beautiful red and black fascinated, then it was into the bar for my first gin and tonic of the day. The wedding was magical and I felt really good and back to my old self..on to the evening where I Laughed, drank, sang and most importantly danced. Finally went to bed around 2oclock. Throughout the the i did not have use a stick or ask for any help or assistance.   How good was that 82 and just 11weeks post op. I felt so joyous Rachael was a dream bride and I felt privaliged to have such a wonderful family. Hope I haven't bored you stiff with this blog, but after the emmence trauma of the the past 11 weeks it felt right to share this you all. The support I have had from this forum has been so very good. Onward and upward I love you all from tucks xxx

    Stories like this are never a bore. One could feel the happiness in the words that were so uplifting to those still having problems........and to think, just a couple of weeks ago everything looked so gloomy for you. Keep up the positives. Gin and tonic is a great cure all although I had to take a vow to switch to vodka as the gin caused me to think every woman beautiful and every beautiful woman was mad for me. A couple occasions of hearing about my actions and the hell I got over it made the change easy to make

      Hi Betty thanks for your lovely post. I had apprehensions believe me but the wedding has been my goal. Being with so many of the people I love. Most invigorated me. I think maybe the G and Ts and the odd glass of Champers helped.i danced to upbeat and slow, a one point I was near to doing the twist I was however sober enought to know it was not a good idea. I hope you get back to winning ways soon can't be much longer can it? Wish you well my freind tucks x

    Hi Tucks, once again you have made me stop and think about life. You are such a positive role model to us all on this forum. What a wonderful weekend you had with your precious family and I'm sure you made your granddaughter's day even more special. I would've loved to see you shaking your booty on the dance floor!  Young people always think they are the only ones who can enjoy themselves but you are proof that age is just a number and anything they can do you can do as well. You sound as if your knee did not stop you at all so I hope that will be me at christmas! I have only 'known' you a short time but I get the impression that things have been quite tough for you since the op but your determination to go to the wedding has got you through. I've said it before but I'll say it again, you are my new inspiration and every time I feel down or in pain I will think of you (with a glass of champers doing the twist!) and I will soon be back to normal. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

    I wish you continued health and improvement you special 'internet' friend...🍸🍸👠🎵

      Oh Shanders suck,lovely, warm comforting words. I will never forget you your posts have always been so good. I will admit I have cursed my life and my knee over the last 3months, but for me on Saturday I felt and was surrounded by love, topped up with champers. I hope you are beginning to feel better, it's a hard, hard road isn't it?  There is life after the op!! Keep well my friend I feel as if I have known you for ever. Love from tucks x
