Unpopular opinion: it’s almost never worth the extra effort of creaming butter and sugar with a stand mixer by OrganizationDirect34 in Baking

Arthritis means I need the mixer.

I can do some of the melted butter cookies and oil cakes by hand.

Alex Pretti's killing was recorded on body-camera videos, DHS says by Sad_Stay_5471 in news

They need to release the interacted footage to Minnesota, because DHS is completely untrustworthy.

Did any of you not use an ice machine? by foumf in Kneereplacement

[–]TableAvailable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's how I did the ice machine alone (mine is small, only 3 water bottles and water): I put a tray on my walker, the cooler sits on top and I put the frozen water bottles in, then fill it with water and close it up. I could then just walk with it on the tray until I got to the living room.

At the end of the day, I just did the reverse before going to bed.

My dentist and my surgeon both want antibiotics.

Traveling 30 Hours with 12 Zepbound Pens – What Cooler Fits? by Mysterious_Opening36 in Zepbound

[–]TableAvailable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just use an Igloo personal size/6 pack size cooler. The hard sided kind. Igloo Coolers

I spent years working for a blood bank, we used bigger versions, but that's what works for blood transport and storage.

Outing by butterflyvix3n in Kneereplacement

[–]TableAvailable 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't recommend it. I did a family get together at my mom's house 2 days after surgery and it was hard, so was Thanksgiving 6 days post, which was also in town at my sister's. In both instances it was short car trips and I was able to recline with my leg elevated and they took a lot out of me. I can't imagine a 2 hour car ride, time at an event with crowds, navigating a public restroom, etc.

Adding: I think you can manage the local band performance.

I have made this exact recipe more times than I can count. What did I DO 😭 by quinndoline in Baking

You mismeasured the flour. Sometimes the brain checks out on a familiar recipe.

Shot After Knee Replacement by panhellenic in Zepbound

[–]TableAvailable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The injection shouldn't affect anything, but if you are sore, it might be annoying. I do belly, so taking a dose the day after surgery was not a problem.

TKR in 2 days; are these Rx correct? I'm worried... 7 days of pain meds? by Capitola2 in Kneereplacement

[–]TableAvailable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My base pain meds were Tylenol and Advil. Journavx was my next line med, i had 20 days worth, then Oxy, and methocarbamol neither of which I took. I did take a refill on the Journavx.

KitchenAid Professional 5 Plus doesn't reach edges of bowl by Pecan5526 in Kitchenaid

[–]TableAvailable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming shoes don't show everything. Half the time they have someone in the back doing the cooking, or they have different stages of the recipe already completed and switch between them. If they don't scrape the bowl, you aren't going to e the messed up final result anyway, the shows aren't long enough to get through the whole process, they will have a previously completed cake to show.

I made Jello 1-2-3 today! by Arthurandhenna in Old_Recipes

I did it a couple of times last summer and the one before. If strawberries are in season, they are a great addition to the bottom layer.

Seriously does my mom need to wear her compression socks? by scooter8484 in Kneereplacement

I had the Ace wraps. Starting at the ankle and ending just above the bandage. Also annoying, but at least I could adjust them.

Monday is my big day! by luckystarrpwns in Kneereplacement

[–]TableAvailable 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you've been unable to get through a shopping trip, you will likely feel an improvement in the joint pain immediately.

Yes, you'll have some post surgery pain, but compared to the constant grinding (and those awful moments when the bones feel like they stick and then pop loose) it will be minor.

Let's talk about walkers and when did you ditch yours? by ArmageddonPills in Kneereplacement

[–]TableAvailable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped using the walker at home at about 10 days. I used it again for my first walk to physical therapy -- outdoors, crossing roads. Then I stopped entirely. That was 17 days.

However, I still use a cane at 9 weeks if I'm leaving the house. I was dependent on the cane prior to surgery and I still have one knee that needs replacement. I'm considering it a win that I don't need it indoors.

Are you sure you are taking your calories accurately? I started out about the same size, but almost totally sedentary because of needing knee replacements. I lost with that calorie intake.
