    McDonalds Workers in New York Striking

    I have to chime in. I was laid off from my non-profit job nearly 4 years ago. The spring before I was laid off, I received a 5% raise so I know I was doing my job well. I had been at my job since I had graduated from college with a BA. It took me literally 2 full years to be called for any...

    Wow, Target is closed today

    There are some professions that regardless of the holiday need to work. Nursing is one of them. My dad works at a home for mentally ill people, he worked yesterday as well as Christmas. Just the way it goes with certain professions. With that being said, nobody really 'needs' to buy a XBox 360...

    What do you think...?

    I think if you teach your children to stay out of the street, it wouldn't be a problem. When I was little, I knew how far down my driveway my parents would let me go. I wasn't perfect, I just was aware of my safety. As far as a driver goes, you could be going 25 MPH down a street and if a...

    Wow, Target is closed today

    As a retail employee, I'm so glad that stores/malls are closed on Easter. I rarely get a holiday off with my husband (the next one will be Thanksgiving) so it's nice to spend the day together. I feel sorry for employees of stores that were open. I know eventually every place will be open, but...

    The MAGIC is Back!!! ~ WBTA 2014 ~ Come & join the fun!

    Lol! I'm typing from the hospital on the iPad and I'm not used to this keyboard. That's why the message was short and sweet. :) My mom had emergency knee surgery today to clean out an infection in her knee joint. I'm at the hospital keeping her company. She is still sleeping soundly from all of...

    Ankle Reconstruction Surgery

    Crutches are not fun at all. I am thankful I only need them for a short amount of time though. I have a call into the doctor and insurance company about a knee scooter. The doctor's appointment went well... Except I almost passed out when I saw my foot. This is the most stitches I have ever...

    Ankle Reconstruction Surgery

    Getting up stairs is terrible. We have a walker that was my grandfathers that I think will work well when the time comes.

    Ankle Reconstruction Surgery

    So my recovery is going ok. My pain level isn't too bad... I have my first post-op appointment tomorrow so we'll see what happens. I'm not liking the crutches though at all. Still looking into getting a knee scooter. Thanks for all of the advice and well wishes!

    Ankle Reconstruction Surgery

    Thank you everyone... The surgery went well. I'm resting at home and my DH is taking wonderful care of me. When they tried to give me a nerve block it wouldn't take. In a way I'm glad it didn't take because I wasn't hit by a lot of pain all at once. The highest my pain level has been was a 7...

    Ankle Reconstruction Surgery

    It's funny, I want to get my clearance today for my surgery and I ended up having something show up on my EKG so I spent the day in doctor's offices getting cleared. I'm thankful I found out about it but I'm good to go though. So it took an entire day of preparing away. So tomorrow is my last...

    Ankle Reconstruction Surgery

    It is my right ankle so no driving for me for a long time. I really hope I don't end up with a blood clot. What were the symptoms that she suspected a clot?

    Ankle Reconstruction Surgery

    Don't worry about doom and gloom, it was what happened for her and I'd rather be prepared for the worst. I do know about the pain meds because of my ACL surgeries. It's funny, I've been dancing for 30 years and all of my other surgeries were a direct result of it... Not this one. I badly...

    Ankle Reconstruction Surgery

    That would make sense about the ice pack. I may need to keep that in mind. Thanks for all of your help!

    Ankle Reconstruction Surgery

    Ok, you're surgery sounds a lot worse than mine! I don't believe I'm being given an ice machine thingy. I'm going to make sure to have a great supply of frozen veggies. If you don't mind me asking, why did you need the ice pack under your knee? Does it get to the point that it hurts too or was...

    Ankle Reconstruction Surgery

    I did see the knee scooter and I'm looking into renting one. The knee problems is my only concern. I'll try to talk to him pre-op.

    Ankle Reconstruction Surgery

    I am going in for ankle reconstruction on Friday and I'm really getting nervous about it. I've had 3 ACL reconstructions done on my knees so this isn't my first surgery. This time though I'm going to be on crutches for 6 weeks. I think part of my anxiety is not being able to do the things I take...
