My wife has had a knee replacement a week ago Tuesday and is now in rehab for two weeks. I have been going to see her every other day and most having a meal with her. I have also been planning my trips to town so I get as much done as I can. That has kept me busy and tired. I am trying to rest the off days, but now that I am able there is washing to be done, dishes to wash. I am cooking for the first time in 12 years. This knee operation was sat-up so fast that Deb did not have time to get meals around for me, but that is ok. What a difference a few months at the FFC clinic has made for me.
I AM NOT CURED, they just help with the symptoms and not just by covering them up with narcotics. BTW I am working my way off all the narcotics. We are dropping morphine at a rate of 30mg per week. That means in a few weeks I will no longer be on any of them. Also we are trying to drop all the chemical medications that we can replace with supplements. I am actually taking more "pills, supplements" now than I was before but that won't be long.
I love driving my new pick-up and won't let Deb drive it when I am there. I told her we would get her a car that gets better gas millage for her to drive. It is so nice to go where I want to go and do what I want to when I want to. It's a whole new freedom. I know most of you are still driving but are you safe all the time??? That is a big question? I know that now I am safe and so that gives me the confidence to drive when I want to go somewhere.
Talking with the doctor we decided that the reason I came around so much faster than most is because I had k elation twice weekly instead of monthly. It cost more for travel but I accomplished in less than three months what most accomplish in six months. Besides they said I was a train wreck and one of the sickest patients that they seen. It makes me feel good to know that with extra effort and cost on our part I was able to come a long way in a short time.
We are now working on getting the immune system back to top condition. I am excited to see what the next few months will bring. My doctor told me we would be getting more blood test at the beginning of May and see what else we have left to get me as well as possible.
Don't forget if you are going to go to a FFC clinic to tell them that Jerry Booth recommended that you come and get treated. I want them to know me all over the 15 clinics. I have so many friends that need this treatment, but can't see how to pay for it. Well we have our house up for sale. My wife said it was worth two houses just to see me back to closer to what I was before the Summer of 1994. That is when this hit me and took me down full time.
Please let me know if you are planning on going to one of the clinics. I will be posting the locations and information for you on the page views that are across the top of the start up screen on this blog.
By for now! I have to take my Grandson fishing for the first time....
