Transitioning the Christmas decor out and the winter decor in... From maximalist to minimalist again. Going to the gym later. Eating only when hungry. yada, yada, yada. The kids ditched us for their friends last night. We started watching a movie but I fell asleep at 10. Got a second wind and fell asleep at 11:40 pm. David said Happy New Year at 12:02- so either way I missed it... technically.
Unsure if anyone recalls but in 2020, my mom had knee replacement surgery- The same day, my father was having open heart surgery in Milwaukee. I don't expect anyone to remember but anyhow- my mom's knee plate shifted off or knee cap or whatever and it has been this was since about 6-7 months after the original surgery. On Thursday, she will be having revision surgery. She is 71 and overweight and we are both nervous about it. At this point, she is unable to walk any length at all. Even the handicapped spots are too far away and she is in pain so we are just going for it. It is kinda her last hope. For being overweight, she doesn't have any serious health issues yet so I am hopeful that regaining some mobility will encourage her to get healthy. I am praying she has at least 10 more years with us. I'm on day 3... I spotted some mini reese's peanut butter cups that I had left over from sprinkling on a PB pie I made. So far, I have avoided them, I hope to regain some composure and be able to eat what I love on occasion and in moderation- the way I used to- However, day 3 is not the time to try it. Happy New Year, all!

Sorry about your mom's knee. I am dealing with knee pain now. I had gallbladder surgery being obese and had no issues. But I don't know what the knee surgery is like. With the gallbladder I was ab!e to go home at noon after the 6am surgery.

My co-worker had a "smart knee replacement" in November. The docs can scan the replacement to make sure everything is working and moving as planned, especially during PT. Might be an option for your Mom? I hope all goes well for her.
