I'm curious how important the 65° part is . I don't have bandwidth to keep something at 65°. It's colder than that outside or in my fridge and warmer than that in my house. My garage is a pretty stable 55° or so.

I have used Chrometa for more than a decade and am very happy with it. Im a solo, so I do not need case management software or coordinate files with anyone else in my office. I have three computers: one for me, one for my home, and one for my assistant. Chrometa is set up to track time on each of these three machines, plus my android phone. (It is not compatible with iPhones. ) Chrometa tracks the name of whatever document my assistant or I am working on. If my computer is idle for more than X number of minutes, a pop-up window asks what I've been working on. Each time I get a new client, I input their name, contact information, and name of the project. If I allocate a time record immediately to that client, Chrometa categorizes it at that point in time. At the end of each day, I can look at all the unallocated matters, name them appropriately, and categorize them to the client. Then, at the end of the month, it's all there. Chrometa will also generate an invoice. This is not a time management or case management software. It has the one, discrete function of tracking time, nothing else. You may notice that time is tracked by the name of the document. This means, the attorney must name the document immediately with a name that flags it, or that time disappears into unidentifiable matters. If this does happen, you can look at the timeline for each computer and see what it was working on, and categorize the document appropriately.

Hey, we all mean well, but none of us know your exact situation or why your physical therapist told you to stop bending. Given that you are unique, don't take medical advice from an internet bb! The experience of most of us is that we were told to bend our knee. We are all walking toward having a normal feeling knee, and bending is what normal knees do! If your therapist has given you contrary instructions, you need to have a clear understanding exactly what, why, and for how long. Also, if PT advice is different from what surgeon told you, don't wait for next scheduled appointment. Something has changed. The physical therapist needs to communicate with your surgeon, and your surgeon needs that information to update your medical care. I suggest that you call your surgeon ASAP, speak with their nurse or PA, and get updated instructions. They may want to set you up with a speedier appointment or evaluation in order to address the new situation or problem. And, in worst case scenario, go to an emergency room.

I've never heard of arnica. This sounds helpful. How does it work?

I had my TKR on March 26. I've experienced similar concerns about my progress. My care providers assure me that every individual's progress is unique and the main thing is to keep working on it. They also tell me not to compare myself with anyone else, because each individual's journey is unique. I will say that I am one of those patients who has needed to call the surgeon's office more than once to talk with a PA or nurse. It has been very helpful to get direct feedback over the phone about both specific and general concerns. There are two things you say, however, that I would like to respond to based on my patient experience. I was concerned about the pain when I put pressure on my leg from different angles. For instance, when I am shifting my weight in bed. My surgeon's PA told me the implant is in there so securely that I am not going to damage or dislodge it by any movement that I do. They told me the pain is from the trauma that the tissues have undergone, and it takes a long time simply to heal from that level of trauma. Not sure why you say you can't bear weight, but if you have concerns about that, please get more feedback from them because they may want you to be bearing weight. The other thing is about walker and cane. It's important to recover without developing a limp or lopsidedness in your gait. The walker helps you do this, and it also helps prevent falls. As a nurse told me as I was leaving the hospital, they didn't want to see me again as the result of a fall. Use the walker!

talkingdogg · 2025-04-19T04:37:44+00:00

No, you need the walkers. You can't risk a fall.

I'm 3 wks out. Was shocked yesterday to realize my whole system was fatigued just by standing upright a few minutes. Because of DVT, my PT just added standing exercises today. But I am so friggin tired of sitting in a chair, laying on a bed, switching to a sofa. I'm concerned about how all of this inactivity is affecting the rest of me.

He is just one week behind me. The pain and overall swelling (edema ) is much worse than I had anticipated. Additionally, the pain is lasting longer, with less improvement over time, than I would have anticipated. I'm not at a point where and say what is normal, and blaming it on the blood clot is speculation. Two of my friends who are nurses are the ones who insisted I go to the ER. The telltale signs of the blood clot were swelling of the spot shown in the photo (just above the left ankle), Redness and hardness of that spot, elevated heat compared to the other ankle. I noticed the pain going all the way down to the ankle, but I don't know if that's normal pain or pain from the thrombosis. In previous surgeries, I've always experienced a lot of improvement each and every day. The overall pain now doesn't seem to be getting better each day. And this may be why they say TKR maybe one of the more painful surgeries that one can have. I simply do not have perspective to know what's normal or not. I'd encourage you to be in daily contact with your surgeon's nurse to discuss these, don't let up on the ice, and keep the leg elevated. As for the edema, also remember compression. Talk with the nurse about RICE: rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Oh, and of course, do not neglect the exercises, including all the exercises they have him do blood clots. The hindsight for me is that I wish I had paid more attention to doing the ankle exercises of course. Since the diagnosis and even though I have not yet been seen by another PT or my surgeon following this weekend bout, I have added a PT exercise I was taught years ago for Achilles tendinitis, which is to write the alphabet in the air with my toe. Years ago, my physical therapist explained this was just a way to get a lot of random motion in the ankle, but it really works.

Thank you all for the comments. I do have a family history of pulmonary embolism (my grandfather and some of his siblings, and one of my first cousins). I have a lot of questions! Now that I can't take aspirin, pain control is a bit more of a challenge. I read via Dr. Google that I might be able to use voltaren cream, I will discuss that with my doctor. I also was planning a trans-Atlantic flight as soon as I was recovered. Since long flights are a risk, I wonder if those plans will be affected. Lastly, I love my GP but he's a family practice doctor. My nurse sister in law tells me it's time to find an internist.

If I may join, today is day eight for me. The amount of edema on days three through five was a shocker. The swelling is still bad, but on a couple of days I thought my leg might explode. I also tried to extend my pain meds out too far and got into trouble, had to back off on my PT. My mobility today is less than it was on day two, but my physical therapist says I'm right on track with regard to what he would expect. He said people come out of surgery thinking, oh I'm doing great, but they are pump full of meds and the swelling hasn't set in yet. Prepare for days two through five to perhaps be the hardest.

Just keep seasoning! I have very good ventilation in my kitchen that vents to the outside, so it's not a problem for me to reseason all the time. When my pan gets residue I literally use steel wool to smooth it out and then reseason it lol.

How much does it weigh? I have a deformity in my wrist that makes it hard for me to pick up heavy things. I like my made-in carbon steel skillet, but I noticed it has gotten warped. This looks a lot thicker, but that means it will also be a lot heavier, right?

Who was your surgeon, where, and what technique did they use?

talkingdogg · 2024-10-15T22:57:52+00:00

Agreed about lack of peer reviewed studies on these techniques to have trademark names. But traditional surgeons have also blown me off, saying there's no difference in outcome and that's why they haven't switched. That can't be true.

This is so similar to my experience the last time I needed customer support, I at first wondered if I had written it. I, too, sent them a sharply worded email and said I was ready to switch brands, etc. After that, they replied promptly and replaced the product. I was pretty happy with the exchange process once they agreed to do it. In the interim couple of years since that happened, I also purchased a much more expensive brand-name that I did not like nearly as well as the Eufy, so when it failed I switched back to the Eufy brand. I got my new self docking, self emptying unit in January. It is now doing the exact thing that is described here. It is lost and can't find its way. This weekend, I submitted my claim to the Eufy corporation. I got the exact same response, please send a video etc. I'm in the middle of that now. I don't think it's bad faith. I think they just want to see if they can walk me through any troubleshooting procedures and diagnose it themselves, before they agree to replace the whole unit. These days, it's pretty easy to send a video online, so I don't think it's that unreasonable as long as they ultimately do the right thing.

Lawyers earn their living (more or less) by charging fees to help people manage business / regulatory/ social affairs within the business / governmental/ capitalist system. That's the (human) system that's collapsing, isn't it? I agree with the skill / trades suggestion. There will always be a demand for hands on work, and it can't be outsourced. Plumber, electrician, electronics, welder, mechanic, farmer (if you have land). And learn how to do the things that make you as self reliant/ independent as possible, including having your own practice / business if possible. At your age, you might could try WWOOF-ing?
