Good morning. Well today I will be, hopefully, repairing 3 Nutcrackers so I can give them to Michael and Max for Christmas, I actually have 4 but the 4th is fine. All of them I bought last year but was not able to even try to repair. When getting them out from the shelf they were on I found one more gift for Bruce so will wrap that today.

Last night I had Bruce rub some "Leg Cream" on the back of my right leg and while doing it he said he did not think it was cramped until he felt the left leg, I will have him rub it again tonight. I will put some on this morning but of course I can't rub it in as hard as he can.

I can understand why people don't want to go to the Ortho about knee problems. If you get a Total Knee Replacement it can be months, like 6, before you can be released and no longer have to do PT. And it can be a few weeks before you finally don't have to ice it everyday for a hours at a time. I understand they have you doing PT right away so the new knee won't freeze and it is mainly walking using a walker for a few feet. They are some of the reasons I have not requested a referral plus the fact that I would have to be in the hospital for a few days because of my oxygen falling. Right now I have two friends on Facebook that had TKR done within a week of each other, about 3 weeks ago, and they are both having problems with the icing machine and big time pain, which was sort of under control when they were in the hospital but now that they are home not getting anything that actually helps with the pain. I have been putting Bee Venom on the knee and drinking Pineapple juice and actually the Bee Venom has worked real good in on the pain and also the swelling.

Hope Dave and Pat are getting better and can get home.

All have a great day.
