That is the scene we were watching !! It was so exciting being on set like that..what a hectic job !! Then we left Emily and Bonny

..they fly back to Bahrain today..I'm really going to miss that little girl..what a little doll she is !
On the way back I was booked in to have bilateral knee scopes to assess how damaged my knees really are .BAD news..I have absolutely NO cartilage behind either kneecap and there is a lot of erosion of the bone too !

I need to have TOTAL knee replacements in both knees !!

..well ..those titanium joints are very beautiful..I fell in love with them the the moment I saw them (all I want for Christmas is my two front knees !!!

) I will have them done in January ..have to wait for this procedure to heal first !
So..at the moment I am not at all mobile and am using it as an excuse to catch up on the 55 pages I have missed !!

I start physio tomorrow so will hopefully soon be able to bear weight on my poor old crook knees !!

Hope everyone is okay ..be back soon !!
Huge cyber hugs to all of you..I really really missed being here !!!

Oh Kay I am so sorry about your poor knees! I will be your personal prayer warrior!

Let's Make a Wish

Yep, we blow on dandelions too! I dont know it the others did it this way, but when we were kids we called them "santa clauses" and we'd blow on them making a wish for what we wanted for christmas and the dandelion would blow away to tell santa!

So call me anything except late for dinner and Bert.

Naughty Kim, Glad it wasnt me!!

I am going to sound like the blonde that I am....What did Mars do 20,000 times? My assumption is LOs'. (And then I would ask the question does she get out at all, after I pick myself up off of the floor)
Kay, bless your little heart and tired knees! But tell me your NOT going to have them both replaced at the same time! On the positive side, just think how many LO's your gonna get done the first few weeks after surgery!

Roberta T · 08-27-2008, 10:28 PM

Kay, I was laughing at your "all I want for christmas joke and when I replied I must have seemed cold. Please forgive me.

I am so sorry you have the knee problems and I will pray for VERY successful replacements. Most people I know who've had them done have been very happy with the results.

Congrats on 20,000 Mars! I'm about to 3,000 and if I waffle a bit, I can share my milestone with the grannies!

OH good news. I told Ken what you said about the furinator so we went to look at the only pet store in town... it was $99.99. No way was I going to pay that. Then he was walking Sunny and ran into a woman with 3 dogs and they got talking and she raved about it so he has decided if it works that good he is going to get it anyway. Now at least we can check at Walmart first. Sunny's regular monthly grooming is Friday so it would be good timing to find it now.

for you dear Carma!!!!!

Impy · 08-27-2008, 10:36 PM

LOL! I would have to waffle a lot - I see now that I am still 42 (41 after this) away, so I'll share the milestone with you in a few days.

In the meantime, we need to pick up the Heritage Chat and get it going full steam. Meryl is thinking of doing it in for lack of interest. I'm hoping it's just been a busy summer for everyone and we can get it back on track!

Congrats Cherebus LOTD!!

I sewed my finger in a sewing machine once! The needle went in hit the bone and snapped! Ouch!!!!!!!!!
I also as a kid backed into a rusty nail in the yard, it healed but was inflamed, mum said it was "proud flesh" (!!??) and bathed the top of it off and all this pus came out! I still remember that one and have a nice scar near my ankle to show for it.
