Hi everyone! It's been quite a long time since I've been on my favorite forum. How is everyone enjoying their summer so far. Now for catching up. On July 26th my daughter Jocelyn gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby boy delivered by c-section. His name is Benjamin Leonardo Ayende, weighed...

RE: Iris! Hi Debbie - just read your reply. Thanks so much for asking about my knee. So far so good. In fact, yesterday was my grandson's 5th Birthday party, had it in our local beautiful park and I played - are you ready? 5 games of volleyball - bum knee and all!!! It felt great to be...

Hi Nana, Congratulations!!!! Colton Scott is just perfect and beautiful!!! I think I'm next - my daughter Jocelyn is due in a couple of weeks and we can't wait for our new addition to our ever growing family - that will make 6 grandchildren!!! I still can't believe it!! Enjoy this time...

Hi, you are correct - one pill does not fit all. I've been on HRT for about 5 years now and tweeking the meds was a bit difficult. When I began this journey, my then doctor was prescribing hormones forgetting that I did not have "all my parts" due to a hysterectomy. After speaking with...

RE: Me again Iris! Debbie - let me say that on Monday I had a 2 hours PT session - I'm still sore! Ron my therapist has developed a very aggressive program and although yesterday I was in moderate discomfort I'm looking forward to today's session. I guess what i'm saying is that even after...

Congratulations Sherry!!! Little Abigail is a lucky little girl, think of all the wonderful times you will both share - I know - I was a very young grandma - 35! My granddaughter Christine will be 17 in September - ouch!!! Not to mention that grandbaby number 6 is due in July - and they have a...

RE: Iris! Debbie, Debra and Kathy - thanks to all of you for being there through all my woes also! I had a PT session this morning - YEOWZA!!! 2 hours of a great workout not to mention the "working on my knee" session. It felt wierd - a sensation I can't really describe especially around the...

RE: Debra! Hi Debbie & Debra - you're both well informed. Debbie, from what you're describing it appears to be that you tore your meniscus and an MRI will confirm this. I had a medial (inner knee) torn meniscus and the pain was intolerable. After the first surgery, where I thought this is...

Hi Debra I am very familiar with knee problems and surgeries. Most recently February 17th. My recuperation is going fine with 2-3 days of physical therapy. My first procedure was a complete disaster because the surgeon did not do what he was supposed to. My second procedure was a complete...

Laurie - a good friend of mine sent me this a long time just when I needed the most - take a read - its says it all... here goes.. kind of long but well worth it! A time comes in your life when you finally get it... When in the midst of all your fears and insanity you stop dead in your tracks...

I totally sympathize with you and have read the entire thread. Great Advice. Having been there myself a few years ago - believe it's not hard. I was first married when I was 16 to my first husband - it was horrific to say the least. I have two children from that experience and don't regret...

Hi, let's see - being a born and raised New Yorker - I met Geraldo Rivera back in the 70's when he was just an eyewitness reporter (not what you think - we had a bad confrontation - does this count?), Rudy Guiliani before he was our mayor, Tony Randall - I wrote up his life insurance policy, I...

Wayne! Feliz Cumpleaños!!! And of course... many,many more!! Take care, Iris
