Amy,
You had knee replacement? How did it go? My mom had that and a hip replacement too. It changed her life! She was so crippled before the surgery and walked like a teen afterward!

Finally getting back to you, Polly. It was time to fix dinner for Marissa. She had finished her homework.

I had both knees replaced ... the first November, 2005 and the second March, 2007. I did great; it was wonderful to not be in so much pain. AFter the first, I was very faithful with exercising. I did pretty good after the second but I got lax on excercising. I started spending more time on FR. Since I re-started Amy’s Place, I spend waaay to much time sitting at the computer. I have put on some weight. I think it is a combination of both but I am not getting around as well as I did for awhile.

I need to get back in to see the surgeon for a followup .... I put that off also. :(

I’m good at giving directions but am awful about following them. I know Marissa would like it if I could walk like a teenager.
