Update... Knee surgery went well and I'm home with a "VERY, VERY" sore, painful knee and leg. Trusting the results will be good and that no further surgery is needed. Now I'm sitting with my leg up trying to find ways to pass the time! LOL

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers - it was so sweet of Christine to put up a message here on Cute for me.

It is good to learn that the surgery on your knee went well and that you are home recuperating. Just remember in the coming days as the pain wears off not to start overdoing things. Follow the guidance of your consultant.

As to finding ways to pass the time, I have sat here with my leg up for an hour trying different non-straining activities in the hope of finding something to recommend. Unfortunately, all I could come up with was peeling potatoes or eating chocolate! Take care now.

Eating chocolate.....Dennis you are brilliant!

Wow, Dennis, you really understand women! But, I don't know about peeling potatoes :-) Unless you are going to fry them up with onions.....

Glad all went well and that you're back home. I'm afraid it is either reading or hand embroidery (or knitting or crocheting) I can think of that would pass the time.
Take care and take it easy!

I am so glad you are home and the surgery went well. As for passing the time, I play games on the computer and play with my designs, read, do hand embroidery and talk with friends.

So glad you are home. I do hope it went well and that you can be patient while you heal. Being forced to stay put -- is so much harder than having the rare luxury of taking an afternoon nap.
If other suggestions don't fill in all your time, you could have someone hang a picture on your wall of a sandy beach near a blue ocean and just pretend you are on a warm, wonderful holiday.

Bless you, bless your knee, I'm sure dennis is on to something with the chocolate. I think it has healing effects. Time passes whether we do anything at all so I'm sending good healing thoughts your way and the other cuties have made wonderful suggestions for occupying your time. Heal well,
Sharon

Hi Christie, OH I hope you have some good pain meds! Maybe now you can catch up on all the projects listed in Projects! You may need to make a list of all those to do when you are well again. Hopes and prayers for complete and successful healing! Hugs, Jan in Colorado
