I spent the weekend in the Pocono's with my GF, and she is very nervious for good reason. Tomorrow morning she goes in to have both knees replaced.

She has been in terrible pain now for over a year,a nd she finally had enough and decided to have the operation

She will in the hospital fro a few days then about week in rehab

I will taking a week off in June and go to her house to look after her. She will be unable to do simple things like letting her dogs out, doing dishes, cooking, ect. So I will be her her "houseboy" and make her life a little easier

So I am asking for your thoughts and prayers.

As always thanks guys (and gals)

Brother you and your GF will be in my prayers and on my mind, I had a landlord years ago that had both knees done and he told me he wish he would of done it 20 years ago, after the rehab and healing he said he never felt better , please keep me updated on how she is doing

Please know, and tell her. Our Prayers are with her, and both of you.

Prayer does have the power many only believe after...they silently, and privately pray.

Strength in Numbers from people you don't know. Never Fails.

To RSR, my question too, I haven't been able to respond on phone because of work schedule. How is Benji doing? I'll try calling tomorrow, but have rehearsal dinner for son.

Thanks everyone. Benjie is doing very well and the Doctor is pleased how the surgery went

She actually got out bed yesterday and walked across the room and sat in a chair

She will be in the hospital for a few more days then she will go to the rehab center

Benjie just called me (she has her cell phone in her room) and while she is very tired she is doing OK

She has some pain but the Doctor gave her some meds to take to rehab and home with her

She is doing better then even she had expected and is looking forward to getting home, doing her therapy, and getting back on her feet

Thanks again to all of your kind words, thoughts, and prayers

red states rule. Glad to hear things are going well. Believe it or not. There is good news with this. My son's Mother-in-law had both knee's done the same way, about a year ago now. Good part was, and she bragged about it...within a WEEK. She was driving again, and even able to climb stairs with NO PAIN whatsoever.

Stay Positive. It does get better. Sometimes...better than they were before.
God Bless. Pass it on to her if you will.
Prayers still work wonders....even for those who don't believe in them.

Just spoke to Benjie and the drugs are starting to take effect. She is very tired and I told to her to get some sleep. I told how much I love and adore her and how I am looking forward to taking care of her when she gets home

Thanks again to all of you for your support and prayers

Benjie is not doing very well right now. I spoke to here twice yesterday and the pain is starting to get to her. She is on pain meds but they do not seem to having much effect. I was tempted to drive up to see her but she said she is not up to having vistors and just wants to sleep so she does not have to deal with the pain

I will talk to her later today and give you guys an update

That sounds par for the course from what I've known with my dad and friend's mom. Hopefully when doc does rounds or a nurse calls, they'll adjust the meds. Right now you can't be of much use while she's in hospital, probably best to wait until she's home. Hopefully soon she'll be feeling better.

Kat I am looking forward to taking care of her when she gets home. She took care of me after my surgery to remove the tumor and cancer and I never forgot that. I will be there for her as she was for me. Right now all I can do is sit back, worry and pray for her recovery

She's lucky to have you in her corner, Red. And it's great that you haven't forgotten how she was there for you. You guys are in our thoughts and I hope she's up to feeling better soon!

My girl is doing very well

Just spoke to her and she said while she is in pain, the Doctor told her that is due to her healing. She said she could be released and sent home either Thursday or Friday

My manager is a good guy and he already told me whatever days I need off - I got them

So things are looking good for her and I am looking forward to helping her along on her road to recovery

I for one am happy to read your human interest reports.

I wish her well. I have been there, done that. Surgery once frightened me half out of my mind.

The last one was the big one. I joked with my surgeon later that he cut me in half to do the bypass. He was so good I can hardly see the scar. Actually he did it so there is no scar but I see the faint line of his scalpel cut.

You have my support my friend.

Dad had his knee replaced after he had a hip replaced. A machine worked out his knee and I know it hurt him but he did not let on. I will report that once they mend, they are normal again. In the end, she will be a lot better. Glad she is out of surgery and on the mend.

It was a rough night last night for both of us. The pain was terrible for Benjie and she really did not get any sleep until around nidnight

Once she fell asleep she slept until about 6 this morning

She is sleeping now and I will wake her around 8 so I can take to to PT at 10:30AM

Each day will get better and tomorrow will be better then today

Benjie is sleeping right now as she jsut got back from her first Rehab session

She did very well and put out 100% effort. The trainer was very pleased with her performance

I brought her home, went to the grocery store, gassed up her car, and made her some lunch

She has a long way to go but damn she is giving it all she has
