[GlennLover]

Thinking of you, Koala & praying for a very successful operation for you. :)

[Brooke]

Best of luck Koala! Hope all goes well and your recovery is fast!

[Molly]

Hope all is well today, Koala and that you are up and around quickly!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

This was a very sweet idea, Mike. And Koala - I am thinking about you as well. Wishing you a full and speedy recovery, and hope you'll be back and rejoin us soon. :grouphug:

[TimothyBFan]

I woke up thinking about 2 of our Borderers this morning and Koala was one of them!

Hope you're doing fine!!! http://bestsmileys.com/hugging/4.gif

[Prettymaid]

Good luck with your surgery and I hope you're up and about soon!

[The_Girl_Of_Summer]

hope all goes well

[EasyFeeling]

Koala had a surgery? I didn't know. Maybe I should send her a text message... yes I will do that.

Done... she wrote back and said it hurts so bad :-( But she's already at home.

She asked me to say Hello to you all :)

[ticky]

Awe Koala! I hope you feel better really soon! :grouphug:

[Wildthyme]

Glad your surgery went alright and that you are at home resting. Hope your pain goes away very soon.

Here's a little "TLG" to make you feel better :)

[Koala]

Awww, Mike this is so sweet from you, thank you!:hug:

Thanks everybody! :grouphug: You are all so sweet! :iloveyou:Many thanks for your kind words and your Eye Candy, there I must be feel better fast again!!!!

I still have strong pain, I hope becomes better soon!
Today I have to go to the doctor so I've had enough pain medication for the weekend and the bandage can be also taken, then I have only 2 patches on the knee, more comfortable!
I tell you more later!


I woke up thinking about 2 of our Borderers this morning and Koala was one of them!

I'am sure the other was Lou! I also had to think of Lou yesterday!

[Stars]

Koala, I pray that your pain goes away, and you have a successful visit with the doctor today.
I was so glad to hear that your surgery went well.
Wishing you a very speedy recovery, my friend!:hug:

[Koala]

Thanks Stars!:hug:

I'm back from the doctor!
Now I have enough pain-medication to survive the weekend well.
Now I'm off work for two weeks but the doctor said it will probably take even longer until I can work again.
The operation has lasted a little bit more than 2 hours.
As expected the meniscus was torn, in addition the bone must to be roughened because the cartilage is completely missing with the Patella was also made something there she is too small and runs not around on the bone as it should be really!

[Molly]

Glad the surgery is behind you, Koala! Hope the pain lessens quickly.

[MikeA]

I'm quite sure you will enjoy the weekend Koala! Some of those pain meds are almost worth the pain you have to go through to get them!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Glad you are home recuperating, Koala. Hope you'll be up and about before you know it, and it'll be all worth what you're going through right now. Hang in there!!! :thumbsup:

[EasyFeeling]

Thanks Stars!:hug:

What??? I need a dictionary to understand this LOL

Koala, I hope you will recover soon :hug:

[Troubadour]

I'm thinking of you too, Koala. I'm glad you're already at home and that the recovery process can begin. Watch lots of HFO and F1 to keep you entertained! :hug:

[Glennsallnighter]

Yes, thats my perscription as well. It usually does the trick.

Seriously, I'm glad its all over and I hope the pain reduces soon.

[GlennLover]

I wish you a speedy recovery, Koala! :nod:

[sodascouts]

I wish you a speedy recovery as well - and when this is all over, that your knee will be as good as new!

[Koala]

thanks guys :grouphug:, today I feel better already! The pain meds effect is really well!
And yes HFO and F1 really belong to my recovery process since yesterday! It works!!!;-)

[Koala]

Today I was again at the doctor, to see if everything is ok. I have still relatively strong pains, however, the doctor means this is normal, then I belive him!
I may also try to run without walking frame, but only at home, and only very briefly. The Problem is that I can‘t bend the knee and burden, we'll see if it works.
Early next week then the sutures are removed and decided how long I will be on sick leave again.
　
　

[MikeA]

Well Koala, I'm sure the doctors are going to want you to exercise your knee as much as you can, but I'm also sure they are not going to let you do anything that would damage it while it is healing. I wouldn't "rush it" if you know what I mean.

As for ME....if I stub my toe, I try to take a month's sick leave to let it heal <LOL>

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Hang in there, Koala. Hopefully, you'll be good as new real soon!!! :thumbsup:

Koala, no running! ;)

I think the first couple of weeks are pretty painful. Hang in there! Hopefully, it will begin to feel better very soon.

[GlennLover]

I'M KEEPING YOU IN MY THOUGHT'S PRAYING FOR A SPEEDY RECOVERY. DON'T OVERDO IT!

[Glennsallnighter]

Yes...... but you're a MAN Mike!!

[Koala]

Thanks!:)

Yes...... but you're a MAN Mike!!
LOL:hilarious:

Koala, no running! :wink:

DON'T OVERDO IT!
I wouldn't "rush it" if you know what I mean.


But that is the problem, as soon as the doctor allows me to go without walking aids, I throw those things in the corner and go without it! Not well, however, so I'am! So yesterday I have gone at home without walking aids and the knee hurt more! So I'm going to use probably still at least one!

[eaglesvet]

Koala, since you are a bear...oh excuse me, a marsupial...I feel justified in giving you Dr's orders to TAKE IT EASY!! :hilarious:

[Koala]

Koala, since you are a bear...oh excuse me, a marsupial...I feel justified in giving you Dr's orders to TAKE IT EASY!! :hilarious:

I will keep to this orders! :laugh:

[Prettymaid]

Yeah Koala, listen to the doctor's orders. Quit trying to rush it! :fingerwag: :wink:

[Stars]

Hope you recover quickly and fully, Koala!:hug:

[Koala]

Hope you recover quickly and fully, Koala!:hug:
Thanks Stars, that I really hope too!



Yeah Koala, listen to the doctor's orders. Quit trying to rush it! :fingerwag: :wink:
As a well-mannered marsupial, I hear of course on my doctor! So always nice and slow and TAKE IT EASY! ;):nod:

Lol! Your marsupial is so cute!

[MikeA]

Lol! Your marsupial is so cute!

Dang Cathy! I had to scroll down QUICKLY to see what your were talking about! I'm not even going to describe the visual I had there!

[Koala]

I was at the doctor today, not because I had an appointment, no, I have twisted my knee.:brickwall::worried:
First it was as if something unhooked in the knee and then it was unstabile and than I twisted my knee and since that time I have hellish pain!
I've got something for the pain from my family doctor and must now wait until I have my appointment at the orthopedic on Monday!

[MikeA]

Oh Koala, I sure hope everything is OK. I just don't know much about those injuries having not had to go through one. I know lots of people who have though.

[EagleLady]

Oh Koala Hope everything is ok

[sodascouts]

Oh no! I hope nothing has been re-damaged!

[Prettymaid]

I can't imagine the pain and frustration you're going through. Feel better soon.

[Koala]

Thanks, I feel again better today! So I hope there's nothing bad has happened.:pray: We will see Monday!

[Glennsallnighter]

Oh I Hope it will all be ok Koala! :hug:

[Stars]

Koala, hope everything goes well at your doctor appointment tomorrow. Please let us know how you are doing, and feel better soon!:hug:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Crossing all my fingers and toes that you haven't serioulsly reinjured anything Koala. Good luck tomorrow with your doctor's visit.

[Koala]

Awww, thanks for your good wishes, I believe this I need! :grouphug:

[Koala]

You know I was at the doctor, today. I'm again on sick leave for the next 14 days.
It’s look like that nothing has happened by my small accident! :)
But that the knee always unhooked, yesterday again! Ouch! It‘s of course not normal.
It has probably formed under the kneecap scar fabric, that's the reason why the knee unhooked, if I'm lucky it goes away with medication, if not ..... most probably an operation again! That's I don't want!!! But we will see!
　

[ticky]

Koala! Im so glad it looks like there is no damage to the knee. I hope time and the medication can fix the problem and you wont have to have any more surgery! In the mean time, Take It Easy *G*

[Stars]

Good news, Koala, that you didn't damage your knee with your little accident!
Hopefully, with rest and meds, you will be good as new, and not need any more surgery!:hug:

[MikeA]

The "knee is unhooked?" Not sure what that means but "hang in there." OK, that was sick. Should not be making puns about your injury....but no pun about it, I do hope that things straighten out for you with the LEAST amount of pain and inconvenience.

[GlennLover]

I'm praying that your pain goes away & you don't need another operation!

[Koala]

Thanks guys!
Mike, I like your pun very suitable!
The knee is unhooked means the kneecap is not running properly and wobbles/unhook from time to time to the left or right side, and then the kneecap returns to the normal position,or the kneecap don't moves correct if I take a step,it always gives a loud crack! Which is pretty unpleasant!

[EasyFeeling]

That's not good news, Koala. Hopefully you will feel better soon and don't need another surgery. :smile:

[Glennsallnighter]

Yeah, I hope so too Koala. Take your time off and rest up as much as possible. We are all thinking of you and hoping things work out fine.

[Koala]

The endless story continues!
I was once again at the doctor, I am once again on sick leave for two weeks! Slowly it's getting bored at home, with this 2 weeks I am since 6 weeks at home. After the two weeks I go to work again, but first I must always wear a bandage!
With the wobbles/unhook and pain in the knee I must live at the moment against of the heavy cartilage damage you can not really make something,
except you could splitting something in the knee :woah: and whether this helps is not sure !So there we want to wait first!

[pueblo47]

You've really had a bad time this year. Hope this time it heals better and faster but you need to do whatever the doctor tells you cuz the knees and legs ain't anything to take for granted. But it's nice having you here at all hours now, posting great pics and rock n roll day in history and reading yourhttp://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y373/pueblo47/misc%20smileys/life.gif?t=1274466849 interesting posts.

[MikeA]

Well just hang in there and be patient Koala. You KNOW we are all pulling for you and sending warm-fuzzies your way!

[Troubadour]

Thinking of you, Koala. Sounds like one heck of an ordeal! :hug:

[Prettymaid]

Take care of that knee!

[Stars]

So sorry to hear about this, Koala. Hope you get well very soon! Love, hugs and prayers to you.:hug:

[Koala]

:grouphug:Awww, thanks guys! Your friendly and encouraging words mean really a lot for me!:grouphug:
I know that I for the whole thing needs a lot of patience but patience does not count to mine strengthen.

BTW, pueblo47, like your smilies! :thumbsup:

How are you feeling today or tonight, I keep forgetting the time difference?

[Peekaboo]

Koala, i know i'm really late on this but i just want to say that i too am glad that your surgery went well. I know what it's like to go through all of the physical therapy from knee surgery. Although, i know my surgery wasn't as extensive as yours was. Mine was done nearly 5 years ago for a torn meniscus on my left knee. The doctors and trainers did get me up and moving the very next day. I remember that first day of physical therapy was hell but you gotta do it. As painful as it was, everything that they made me do was for the best. You don't want to rush things too soon unless the doctors and YOU know you are ready. Take care of yourself and best of luck with the rehab on the knee, Koala.

[Koala]

How are you feeling today or tonight, I keep forgetting the time difference?
It is evening here , the time difference also confuses me.
Thank's, I am feeling good, I had no great pain today. However, I have not really done much today. I had a lazy day! http://smilies-smilies.de/smilies/urlaubII_smilies/d020.gif

[pueblo47]

I like that little smiley resting with the sunglasses:).

[Koala]

Thanks Peek, oh you are so right, physical therapy is really the hell but it works and this is, finally, the most important thing! http://www.smilies.4-user.de/include/Sport/smilie_sp_326.gif

[Lisa]

Good luck with all of the therapy. I hope you are better soon!

[Brooke]

I'm a believer in physical therapy, too, Koala. I know it hurts, but it usually works! Good luck to you.

[pueblo47]

LOL, I like your little icon exercising. And how are you feeling today or this evening? You know the old saying, No pain, no gain. People who aren't hurting always say that:laugh:. Hang in there, you'll be ok soon.

Today I feel not so good, I have more pain as on the last past days but I think I have gone a little bit too much yesterday. On the other hand, I must inure me to go more again or to kneel (OUCH) , if I start with the work again soon.

[pueblo47]

It's gonna hurt for quite a while till the muscles heal from the surgery. Enough to make you cry sometimes but it's gotta be done cuz you sure want to get back to normal. I know what you're going through, don't give up.

For a marathon was my endurance never enough and it also will certainly never!http://www.smilies.4-user.de/include/Sport/smilie_sp_300.gif<= this I'm after a longer run! No Breath! :hilarious:

[pueblo47]

Thanks, how are you doing today/night? Sun is coming up here and thick fog.

I feel good, despite pain! Because, today it was a nice day with sun and we had visiting family and friends (my mom has birthday)!

Congratulations to Lena.:applause: :applause: :applause:
I guess it'll be Berlin for 2011!:partytime::partytime::partytime:

No, I guess i'll be Hamburg!:nod:

[Glennsallnighter]

I think she was like a breath of fresh air and certainly appealed to the younger viewers. I must admit I liked the Danish entry.

[Koala]

I think she was like a breath of fresh air and certainly appealed to the younger viewers. I must admit I liked the Danish entry.
You are right, I also think that the song has particulary delighted the younger viewers. I like the song (but it beginns to annoy since it was certain for the Eurovision song contest, it is been played so often in the TV or radio, I can't hear it any more)
I must admit that the danish song was my great favorite!

[pueblo47]

Well, I ain't got a clue what you all are talking about:hilarious:, but that's cuz I'm kind of ignorant of all things outside of the states. However, it sounds like it came out to your satisfaction and that's ok with me, lol.

And how are you in this 24 hour period? How's the pain with the knee? Are you going back to work soon or do you need to wait and see if the doctor will let you go? Keep on with the therapy and get well so you can run after the Eagles when they come back over there:inlove:

[Koala]

And how are you in this 24 hour period? How's the pain with the knee? Are you going back to work soon or do you need to wait and see if the doctor will let you go?The last two days were really good, only little pain! We want to try if it goes again, I go back to work next Monday, the first time since 8 weeks ( 2 weeks vacation and six weeks sick leave!)I think the first day becomes really exhausting!


Keep on with the therapy and get well so you can run after the Eagles when they come back over there:inlove:if I can't run http://www.smilies.4-user.de/include/Krank/smilie_krank_100.gif after the Eagles I take this:http://www.smilies.4-user.de/include/Fahrzeuge/auto_smilie_173.gifThe guys don't escape from me!:hilarious:

[tequila girl]

Hey koala, in 2002 I had to have 5 months off work due to a couple of operations and when I went back I was on crutches - It was great, all my work mates took real good care of me and wouldn't let me do anything!

I'm sure your's will be the same - Take it Easy!!

[pueblo47]

Wow, five months is really a long time.
Yeah,I am sure my colleagues will look after me, not only they, but also the kid’s with those I works will do anything for me!:)

[pueblo47]

And now our Memorial Day holiday is over and we're back to normal.

And how's your knee today? And how are you feeling? Are you looking forward to going back to work, whenever that may be?

[Koala]

And how's your knee today? I feel great! No pain and wonderful weather, today! What want I more? Oh I know, a Privat Eagles concert for me and of course for all the other Borderers!http://smilies-smilies.de/smilies/tanzII_smilies/saenger.gif:rolleyes::nod::hilarious:

And how are you feeling? Are you looking forward to going back to work, whenever that may be?

I'm really looking forward, I can hardly be expected to work again next Monday!

[Koala]

Today was my first working day after 8 weeks! It was exhausting but good, it's nice to be back at school!
The kids were really cute, they've been very pleased,that I'm back! I got even a small welcome back gift!

Today actually , I must have again give table tennis training but that I let rather make our trainee.
Now, I have again really great pain (the last days were so good, hardly till none pain) from the whole run, sit, kneel and crouch!
The knee is swollen but I already have an ice bandage around the knee and the swelling goes back slowly. I hope it's not every day so now!

[sodascouts]

Congrats on your first day back - how sweet that you got a gift and that the kids missed you so much!

Sorry to hear you've got some more pain again though - be careful - don't overdo it!

[MikeA]

You are sure going through some trials and tribulations with that knee. I sure hope that SOON it really starts showing that it is healing!

[tequila girl]

How lovely to get a Welcome Back Gift :)

Try not to overdo it though :thumbsup:

[Glennsallnighter]

Yeah, take it slowly and easily Koala! It all takes time to heal. But it will. :thumbsup:

[Koala]

Thanks guys!

I think (hope) it becomes better with every day!

I was pleased very much about the gift, I never have counted on it! It was, by the way, a small teddybear!:)
