...for me, anyway! I went to pick up the mail yesterday, as usual, and inside my mailbox were my stamps from JessicaLynn Original. Last night I officially began to make cards as per my Design Team duties. I was so excited and the best news of all, I can begin sharing sneak peeks starting January 21st. So stay tuned to see what I come up with for my first efforts.
Now, on to the business at hand of Bingo. Today we will have seven numbers, thanks to all the contributions received. Are you ready? Okay, let's go on with it!
I17 - Daily
I22 - Norma
N43 - Wanda
G48 - Melissas
N40 - Cathy
I24 - Cathy
G49 - Cathy
Today I'm having coffee with a lady who has had bi-lateral knee replacement surgery. I'm facing that same surgery, probably sometime in February (I'm just waiting to hear from the doctor's office for a specific date). Bi-lateral means both knees are being replaced at the same time. I'm very anxious about this surgery, but I really want to be able to walk again, pain free. Jacqueline tells me I will be really, really pleased once it's all over and done with and the recovery time has passed. Her surgery was June 5th, 2007 and she says she walking just fine now. I'm looking forward to meeting her and asking all sorts of questions. I know it's not going to be easy, but I'm doing it anyway and have mentally prepared myself for the worse pain I've ever felt. Luckily, I have a high pain threshold and I WILL BE BETTER OFF IN THE LONG RUN! I just keep reminding myself that I want to play with my grandsons, take them for walks, bake cookies with them and be a proper grandma to them. I can't do that with these knees, so I'm gettin' new ones. Okay, that's my 'feelin'-sorry-for-myself-time' all used up for today. Thanks for listening.

Hi Barb,
Sorry to hear you have to have surgery but praying all will go well both with it and the recovery. Do you have to stay off your feet any length of time? I have contemplated having foot surgery because of my plantar fasitis but staying off my feet for 6 weeks isn't an option with three little ones.
God bless,
Sarah

You have waited a long time for this surgery and I wish you well, Barb. I know what you mean by wanting to enjoy the grandkids. It isn't always possible when your legs won't hold you up. You will have to keep us posted as to your well being. Keep a journal of this time, so one day you can go back and read it and know the difference this surgery will make.
Hugs, Norma
My neighbor had knee replacement last year, and although the recovery time was long, he is Soooooooo much happier because he can once again be as active as he wants to be! Good luck to you when you undergo the surgery :)
So sorry you have to have knee surgery, But l'm glad they can do this for you. They have come a long way with this type of surgery Thank God.
l will keep you in my prayers, We have a friend who had this done last year..She said it was the best thing she ever did. She said Know one could hold her back now LOL.. it did take time but was while worth it.
l will pray your recovery time will be short. God Bless

Sorry you have to have surgery, but pray everything goes well with the surgery & recovery. I had hip replacement surgery and am so thankful I did. No problem with recovery at all. Here is my entry for a bingo number. Thanks, JoAnn B.

Hi Barb! I had no idea about your knee troubles. I know surgery can cause anxiety, but hopefully the doctor can set your mind at ease. I sure hope everything goes smoothly and you can get to walking with no pain!
Good evening Barb, I am glad you have someone to talk to that knows first hand about your knee surgery. I have a card for an extra number Monday.
