Carrie, thinking of you and your daughter. Two of my daughters had some serious health issues as teens and, as a parent, you want so badly to fix it. I assume if she's feeling faint, that a fasting blood sugar has been done. The stress of being a teen can cause havoc with blood sugar and caused other problems.

So, I will have total knee replacement, and finally start mending. I just really dread the long/extensive reahab/recoup but know it is all part of this. Hope you are all having a good day. Sandy
Sending you positive thoughts.

Nana, I was doing PT until about 3 weeks ago, at PT office and at home, due to my knee surgery in Dec to repair torn meniscus. I wish he had just gone ahead and done the knee replacement then. Oh well, too late to think about that now. That is a good idea to start rehab before my surgery. Maybe I will start back doing the strengthening exercises they had me doing. Thanks for the info and tip.
I also had someone tell me, the other day, that she gained 50 lbs after her knee replacement surgery. OK, ladies, I cannot do that. I will NOT do that. I am on a weight loss journey and I will not let myself gain back the lbs I've lost nor the surgery hamper me from keeping on with my losing. I will do whatever exercises and movement I can do, while recouping from this surgery. Sandy

Carries Joyce was so sick when she was in 10th grade and yet the doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. She couldn't even lift her head off the pillow. She used my walker to get to the bathroom. Test upon test and nothing was found. One day she was in the doctors office having blood drawn and her blood presure dropped so fast they called an ambulance and the doctor were yelling they were losing her. The nurse draged me out of the room. She ended up on homeschool for 7 months however after about 4 months she was much better. They don't know what was wrong or what caused all the problems. Hang in there DD will get better.

MJ,
LOL.... u snooze u loose!!!I shouldn't tell u.....hehehe but I will.
I have a "knot" on a middle knuckle and trupeach1 sez that this honey garlic thing will reduce it ...... I already saw the Dr. and their first treatment didnt do a thing.. so they are referring me to a "surgeon". But of course I can't get in until next week. (I've had it since late Jan/early Feb)
How are you doing today??? Did you sleep well last night??? Or did are you sleeping during the day???
I am praying for your health.
Pat
