RHPConsult is on the mend
« on: December 13, 2003, 03:30:21 AM »
Spoke to Dick today and he is 12 days post-op (knee replacement) and is in good spirits. clap.gif  He has good and bad days - mostly good. We hope to get together at macWorld Expo and pary hearty. He is of course going thru a set of strenuous exercises, daily to strengthen his leg.

Mama:  Thank you for the update!

You two have a marvelous time, and remember!  posts from MacWorld Expo are mandatory!

Happy Recovery, Dick!

RHP, Glad to hear your surgery went well.  clap.gif  My mother-in-law and brother-in-law went through three knee replacements between them, and, through their experience,  I can appreciate your demanding exercise regiment.  Best to you in your recovery or "break-in".  

Thanks to MamaMoose for the progress report. biggrin.gif

RHP,
I'm glad to hear your on the up side....I've been thinking of you. 12 days post-op certainly is much better than 11, 10, 09, etc.

Heal up quickly as possible. smile.gif

Good news Dick...  clap.gif

Glad to hear you're on the mend... I too can understand the "strenuous" exercise regime, when I remember what I went through with all the "hardware" in my broken right ankle of '94... but it's as good as new now and worth the work... smile.gif

When, on your carcass, “they” start to practice, high class carpentry,
Your skeleton rebels, you see, and, in no way, bashfully.     huh.gif
It first cries out “Why did you do it?”, but now that I am finally through it,
Can it be, the brand new knee, will bring, perhaps, some . . . glee . . . and never quit?

The answer seems to be, that one must grin and bear it,     wallbash.gif
Since the knee that nature gave me did, finally, call it quits.     verysad.gif
So, goals termed “exten-sion” 'n “flex-ion” are now quite high on my agenda,    unsure.gif
While, whoop-ti-doo, it is quite true, that I am finally on the mend . . . ah!  clap.gif




And  thanx.gif  all for the good wishes.





PS: It  is not true that pain focuses the mind . . . rather it dulls it, so I hope you'll forgive the . . . uhmmm . .  missteps in my doggerel.

Your Poetry is fine RHP. Hope you are getting there too. smile.gif

It evens out somewhat.

Just as many good things go away.

So do the bad things sometimes.

Your pain too will pass.

Get weller soon. smile.gif

It appears that the mind of a dulled Dick is sharper than that of many another.


I considered warning, but upon reflection I was stayed by Frost's admonition:

 . . . Why hurry to tell RHP
What soon he would already know?

(apologies to Frost)


Pain is borne by one but soothed by the strength of the many.

There is no more powerful anesthesia than the limitations of human memory.


Hang in there -

They are and suffer; that is all they do;
A bandage hides the place where each is living,
His knowledge of the world restricted to
The treatment that the instruments are giving.
 
And lie apart like epochs from each other
- Truth in their sense is how much they can bear;
It is not talk like ours, but groans they smother -
And are remote as plants; we stand elsewhere.
 
For who when healthy can become a foot?
Even a scratch we can't recall when cured,  
But are boist'rous in a moment and believe
 
In the common world of the uninjured, and cannot
Imagine isolation.  Only happiness is shared,
And anger, and the idea of love.

Hip, hip, Hooray!!  Or rather: Knee, Knee, Hooray!!  Isn't it a medical marvel??  God bless you, Dick, for a continued speedy recovery, and you will be more speedy when you do.  Have a wonderful Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year!
