    Oh, WOW!  So glad I'm not wearing eye makeup yet.  It would be streaming down my cheeks, Girls.  Ann, thank you for starting a get well thread and All of you have certainly made my day, nah, week, with your kind thoughts and wishes.  One rarely thinks they'll be  missed, so my heart is swollen with hearing from you all.

    I came home from rehab Thurs and was moved to weight bearing on the hip yesterday .  So glad I was swimming pre-op, think I'm ahead of the game with that. 

    Just need to convince my dh that I'm really not up to cooking yet, wonder how long I can manage that?  Take out is such a good thing.

    Welcome back, Dottie.  Take out is wonderful--home delivery is much better, although we are too rural for that option!   Hope your recovery goes smoothly and don't overdo things!!!

    Welcome back!  Oh, I don't think you should cook for at least a month or so!  Take it easy, and great to see you back online.  Hugs,

    Dottie, didn't know you were having a hip replacement.  Once the recovery time is over, I bet you'll be cooking up a storm for your dh.....JUST KIDDING!  Perhaps he can learn to cook while you're recouping, AND then take over.

    JOKES Laughing

    WIFE VS. HUSBAND

    A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
    "Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."

    W O R D S A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000.  The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"

    CREATION A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time." The wife responded, "Allow me to explain. God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!

    WHO DOES WHAT A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning. The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee." The husband said, " You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."
    Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee."  Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."  So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says.........."HEBREWS" God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.

    I hope the recovery is continuing and you still haven't admitted you could cook.

    dottie, you have "hip precautions," right?  Things like a prohibition on bending at the waist more than 90 degrees, a prohibition on picking things up off the floor, ... stuff like that?

    Well, I can't imagine how you could possibly fix meals and work in the kitchen.  After all, if you can't grab a jug of milk off the bottom shelf of the fridge, or reach under the sink for something, or pull a skillet from the bottom shelf of the cabinet or a pan lid from the drawer under the oven... well, I just can't see how that could work.  So, it's essential that someone else fix the meals and do most of the kitchen stuff, at least until your hip precautions have expired.  Isn't that something like 3 months from the date of the surgery?

    LOL, ok girls---he actually cooked tonight!  Breakfast and it was Goood!!!

    He was out to meetings Thurs and Fri, with great food, mind you, so I guess he felt a bit guilty.  He did bring me half of his steak from Thurs and I had it Fri night.  Have to put a stool in the kitchen cause I can't carry anything with the walker.  Yep, those restrictions will be here as long as possible.

    Has anyone ever heard of an ortho straightening out a foot during this type of surgery?  I seem to remember mine facing out and my knees, forward, but now my knee faces "in" and the foot is straight.  LOL  I knew I could have the surgery leg a bit longer due to all the metal, but hadn't considered the knee thing.  And the leg is a bit longer.  Oh, well, shoe inserts on the good leg will fix that.

    I will keep you updated on the "progress".  And I do so appreciate all the good stuff above!
