Hi,
You are so quiet!! Its great to hear about your surgery, does that mean that your trip is still on?
Anyways, goodluck

greeting from algeria

absolute correct about the romanticism in snail mail, but still it's too oldschool today... you know, we live in a world full of facebook-friendships and throw-away relationships....ah it's all bullshit. I myself will visit my first interpalsfriend in taiwan soon. it's best to just pack the stuff if your host seems cool and go there. Life's an adventure :D without risk it's just shitty... hahaha

not really anything you can do lol it will just take time and lots of rest. stay off of it of course! Keep it iced and elevated. and try not to push yourself if you do move around lol maybe try to wall yourself in on your bed with pillows so you will hopefully not move around to much :(

lol you're funny:P

If i lived closer i would love to be your nurse:)

But yea it is normal to feel like crap right now. Knee surgery is not a walk in the part! It is very invasive! was it a Total knee replacement? or did you just get scoped? by the sounds of it it sounds like you had actual knee replacement?

of yea she is healed lol :D thank you for the kind words:D She still has to shuffle around lol i told her that's what she gets for jumping off a fence at 59!!!! >.<

oh wow still icing it so you must have just had it done?:P

i used to work in day surgery lol so i know exactly what you're going through :P they tell you to keep your knee elevated or has all the swelling gone away? I would probably still keep my knee elevated or at least try to keep pillows around it... pillows are magical :D yeaaa they gave my mom oxycotten when she shattered her heel lol she was knocked out really well on that :P i had to check her pulse because she was sleeping so soundly lol

gotta love having them banging around in your knee:P It's cold there now isn't it? yea you will usually hurt more in the rain and cold weather lol :P you poor little half machine :P

What surgery did you have :O I hope it went well?:D

Ohhh, I thought you meant the countries of people we've talked to on here!

In that case, the answer is zero.

Have fun in Africa!
