    Thank you!!! I guess with my knee replacement implant infection in 2021, he doesn’t want to take any chances.

    Please Share Your Experience with a Broken Arm

    OP here, My surgeon has decided he wants a CT scan, so he can see if there is anything going on with my arm. So we will see.

    Please Share Your Experience with a Broken Arm

    Hi all, I very badly broke my left arm in a pickleball fall 3 months ago. Both the radius and ulna broke, the radius in an butterfly fracture, and the end of the ulna near the wrist (not the broken part) broke through the skin. I had surgery to repair the breaks with plates and screws 2 days...

    Any Turkey Day Mishaps?

    Pickleball is totally safe, they said. 70 and 80 year olds love to play it, they said. Even people with mobility challenges enjoy it, they said. After hearing all that, I figured it’d be good exercise for me - a 57 year old woman with 2 knee replacements (done in 2020 and 2021) and a little...

    Any Turkey Day Mishaps?

    My Thanksgiving disaster was that I broke my ulna and radius in my forearm on Nov 12th during my first ever pickleball lesson. It was a bad open fracture. I had surgery to repair the bones with plates and screws on Nov 14th. I was in no shape to prep and cook a whole Thanksgiving dinner...

    Where did teenage you dream of living?

    The beach! I grew up in Southern California about 45 minutes from the beach. Now I live in Virginia about 2 hours from the beach. I’m going in the reverse direction! I want to be able to walk from my house to the beach.

    slo’s TUESDAY 10/3 poll - Dental Crowns

    Three days ago I had molar #18 pulled because the crown came off as the root canal tooth broke completely in half. The crown was only 3.5 years old. What a waste. Since it was the last molar on the bottom left, my dentist and 2 different oral surgeons said I don’t need to replace it with an...

    Chili? Love it? Hate it? Beans or no beans?

    I like chili with beans but only pinto beans. Not a fan of kidney beans in chili.

    slo’s TUESDAY 10/3 poll - Dental Crowns

    I “had” one crown, but it came off in a catastrophic crack while I was eating a French fry back in late July. The tooth stub underneath broke cleanly in two while I spit the crown out perfectly intact. It took forever to get an appointment at the oral surgeon. I’m finally having the broken tooth...

    What is your preferred vacation length?

    From the east coast USA, I did a month in Europe after university graduation back in 1988. As a family we’ve done 10 days to 2 weeks in Hawaii. That flight is so long that we won’t go for any shorter than 10 days. In 2019 we had a 2 week combo adventure in London and South Africa for safari...

    Post surgery exhaustion?

    My sleep cycle was so shattered by my double knee replacement and then again by the infection and redo of my right knee, that I needed help sleeping for a while. I talked to my doctor, and she prescribed Trazodone. I took it for about 9 months after surgery. It helped a lot. ETA: Trazodone not...

    Pest Control - Who/What do you use?

    In the past, we’ve always done our own pest control. We’ve been in this house for 25 years, and the only problem we’ve had was the tiny black ants in the Spring and Summer time. I found that treating the exterior perimeter of the house with Amdro or Terro in the shaker bottle/bag kept the tiny...

    Boiled dinners..........

    A packet of Lipton onion soup mix at the beginning. Add some carrots and potatoes at the end. But I don’t boil it the whole time. I brown the meat first, then add the water and soup mix, bring it to a boil, then turn it down to simmer for several hours. After I take the meat out, I thicken up...
