New O/B Las Vegas needs help lol

I know how you feel!

I had foot surgery right before my pool was plastered. You feel so unable to do anything. Take it easy it does get better.

oh man, ouch!!!! heal well. The staples area little overwhelming, LOL.

I had my right foot reconstructed and it was a frankenfoot for about a year before the scars began to lighten up. An observant person might notice the scars at three years, but I bet nobody notices.

I had some pretty major surgery last Tuesday, and holy cow has it knocked me out! I ventured out to the grocery store today and I had to rest when I got home.

Ya and the other big chunk out f leg is from getting staph from hospital. Just had my 28th surgery. We may get it right soon lol. Lots of practice.

Since you posted the pic ;-) what started all of this? Was it a knee replacement gone bad?

Wow! That is an impressivly stapled incision. You sure have been through it! Be careful, keep it clean and don't over do, but I'm sure you know all of that.
I have had 7 major surgeries in my life. I hope to never have another one. Can not imagine 28...

I take pictures of my husbands xrays and such so I know where you are coming from. I have had him in a wheelchair 3 times in our 31 year marriage. Two times due to a dirt bike crash.....the word uses was pulverized to describe his ankle

Need help. Is it better to use a colored grout for tile or stick with plain white

For me I like the colored grout so it does not contrast the tile and stand out as much. If you have a darker tile and use a white grout it will be "shouting" between the tiles.

Ok thank you. Well I made a few phone calls asking some friends for help with concrete. Looks like everyone called everyone we got 12 guys coming to pour Saturday and more wanting to come as long as pass inspection tomorrow. We all are in construction industry. I just hate to ask just in a bind. There all mad I didn't ask sooner with the way my leg is. Few coming today to finish forming and grading. All they want in return is some beers and a BBQ when it is done. Finally some good news

Beer and bbq? Doesn't get better than that! Well, unless you have margaritas!!

 

[Brandwylie]

Had to bust the old tools out. I couldn't wait for buddies to come frame. Started forming myself early this morning. Got a few of my friends kids over to plastic and back fill. Making progress

That looks nice. I like the shape you are doing.

Wife came home found me working is not happy lol. She will get over it when pool is finished. Little bit more rock to spread and little leveling and we are almost ready. Kat most my friends are working and wouldn't be able to get here till after work. I hate asking people to help after they been working all day. So I just manned up and put my tools on and went at it. I was forming and had 2 kids putting plastic down and type 2 dirt. About got it knocked out.

[Brandwylie]

Brand I SO understand where you are coming from..............I HATE asking anyone for help! Most times I can find a way to do it myself. I just have to be very creative in using this tool to do that. My husband just shakes his head when he finds out what I have done and how. With my having the summers off I do a lot of "honey do" stuff that will get done one way or another.

Got to love a good knee brace. Is it an immobilizer? We have one of those LOL.

Just make sure to sneak the pain pills when your wife is not looking so she cannot say "I told you so" with those Mom eyes.

Kim (you better make sure to tell your wife I told you to NOT do it! LOL I do NOT want her mad at me!)
