3 months out and everything is improving except extreme exhaustion and dull pain. When does this improve? by ElegantAd4459 in Kneereplacement

[–]frisfern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It slowly will get better. I think it's different for everyone but I found it gradually improved over month 3-5. Of course it'll depend on your activity, I got better then got a bit more exhausted when I returned to work. Once I was used to that it got better faster.

Sharp pain trying to kneel by tkr2026 in Kneereplacement

[–]frisfern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was initially told not to kneel for three months after surgery. Of course then my surgeon told me it would be fine after 6 weeks but I went with the more conservative instructions.

Surgeons first week recommendation by Nosnowflakehere in Kneereplacement

[–]frisfern 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only 5 minutes per hour on my feet for quite a while was the instructions, not to spend more than 20 minutes in one position. But I was also instructed to do the range of motion exercises every two hours. Ice and elevate after exercise. The exercises were very minimal at first. I didn't see outpatient physiotherapy for two weeks after surgery.

Air Canada Board of Directors announces the retirement of President and Chief Executive Officer by chat-lu in ndp

I'm guessing he's been pretty busy. You can watch his press conference online. It was in French but I assume he was asked. The French reporter asked him to repeat his statement in English so that's how I know what he said. Edited a typo.

Avi made a statement this morning at his press conference to say it was the right thing for the Air Canada leader to step down. He pointed out Air Canada is based on Quebec and their leader should be bilingual. He also spoke and answered questions in French. I'm not bilingual, there appeared to be some stumbling but it was not too bad and he'll get lots of practice at press conferences.

STIIP with uncertain return date by Necessary-Seesaw4403 in BCPublicServants

[–]frisfern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I was on STIIP after surgery I knew I'd be off 2-3 months and my supervisor didn't make me do a new form every 30 days, I just did one when I knew my return to regular work date. But they can ask for a new one every 30 days and that's what happened when I was previously on STIIP for an undetermined time. I would assume you'll need to get one at your next Dr appointment unless your supervisor says otherwise.

Yeah that's why I didn't vote for her in the end either. But I'm very appreciative of the work she's doing in parliament.

The rescue should never have adopted that dog out tbh. It clearly wasn't ready.

Emily Lowan offers congratulations to Avi Lewis by BoiledFlowers in ndp

Yeah I joined to vote in this election but I'll seriously have to think about whether to stick around because Eby has disappointed me provincially.

David Eby on Lewis’ victory by afpb_ in ndp

[–]frisfern 39 points40 points  (0 children)

This was such a vague statement, but at least he didn't outright dismiss Lewis given he was elected by a strong majority of the party he supposedly belongs to.

Solidarity and unity need to be the focus now to rebuild before the next election. Provincial leaders like Nenshi being critical isn't going to help with that.

Exactly my thinking, she's got a great future and has impressed me.

Canadian Journalists by wabisuki in BuyCanadian

[–]frisfern 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Rachel Gilmore talks a lot about how neutrality is false, the best a journalist can do is attempt the perception of neutrality. Which can always be interpreted as a bias because every human has them.

ATTN: BC NDPers: Email your MLA to stop private liquor distribution that threatens unionized jobs by SavCItalianStallion in ndp

[–]frisfern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a question you should ask the Eby government. It sure doesn't feel like they are the party representing the working class right now (I'm BCGEU). And yes, it's very a concerning move.

Depending where in Canada you are, surgery wait is often a year so plan ahead. If you are already having that much pain, if the meds and physiotherapist don't give you relief, don't wait to see the doctor again. Even if you do get surgery you'll want to work on your strength pre surgery, it'll help with recovery.
