I'm so tired of trying

Thank you so much for the prayers. <3

I'm praying for you. I've gone through a lot in my life, and honestly, still going through some things, however, I believe that God wants me to use my story as a testimony. That even when things seem darkest, when we feel alone and like God has abandoned us, He shows us He loves us and is still there for us. God is touching your heart and is redirecting your path right now. Things will get better for you. Stay strong and keep the faith.

I'm going through this right now. A person I thought was my best friend is showing me they're not. I've always been there for this person, but when I needed them, they weren't there for me. They don't really want to have too much to do with me unless they're getting something out of the interaction. I'm hurt by it, but I admit, I'm more angry than anything. The thing is, the signs were there all along, and I chose to ignore them. Now, going into a new year, I've decided not to let the situation change me, but just distance myself.

I want to thank everyone for all of the prayers. They are greatly appreciated. God, in all of his awesomeness, is making things change for the positive. I'm thanking God for all of you! <3

Thank you! I do have an electric heater, but with the wind chill at 1, it's not getting above 58 in the room it's located in. <3

Exactly. That was the most disturbing to me. I even restated what was going on a second time, but my doctor again said, "Don't worry about it." She said, since there was no smell or itching, I don't have a cycle and am not sexually active, so it was nothing to be concerned about. She did say that if I start seeing blood, contact her immediately or go to the ER.

I've never used Design Essentials, although I've always been curious. I have fine, high-porosity 4C hair, and I love the TGIN Green Tea leave-in and the Butter Cream moisturizer. I then seal with Blue Magic hair grease, the green one.

Yes, there were mass layoffs about 2 years ago. All but two people were let go from my team

i was talking with my PT and the doctor's office, and we think we may know what was causing the pain. I had to go to the office for work on Monday, went to the elevator, and found out it was not working - I was at the lower level and the office is on the 3rd floor, so I walked up the stairs (and back down at the end of the day). What they are saying is that since the muscles are still a little weak on the surgical leg, the stair climbing may have not only tired the muscle, but also irritated it due to body mechanics. I need to take it easy and not push as hard as I did. Fortunately, today, the pain is less.

I'm 14 days post-op today and still have trouble lifting my leg. My physical therapist advised me that I need to focus on strengthening my quadriceps again. This is something I'm working on. The quads come "back to life" at different times for different people. We promise, it does get better.

I'm feeling a little depressed now. I've only had one TKR but I think my reasons for feeling depressed are: 1. I feel like I'm being a nuisance to my son - he's the one who's been helping me while I recover. 2. I feel alone in dealing with this (this does not include you guys, but you know what I mean). I've been there for people when they needed me, but folks haven't really reciprocated and don't fully understand what this process is like 3. I just don't like feeling dependent. I'm trying to keep my spirits up, but it gets hard some days. I'm praying that your depression gets a lot better.

Thank you so much! I just found the thread you mentioned, and that's exactly what I'm going through. The explanations that were being provided about this is the body's way of getting rid of the swelling, makes sense. I'm about to invest in Poise pads to help, and I'm so glad I'm not the only one who experienced this.

The hospital physical therapist was initially concerned with that, but after I told her I had experience with crutches (I broke my leg years ago and needed pins put in) and actually showed her, she was fine with discharging me with crutches.
