To me, it's incredible. I can let pain get me down, but I love your outlook and admittedly I'm in a bit of a struggle to look at the positives, not the negatives right now.

A lot of people have walked out on me, treaters included, and I started to believe myself that maybe in fact I was 100% stuck with ED for life. However Lori has shown me that you cannot leave even a little wiggle room like 10% for ED because he is going to get back in. So right now I am 100% fighting and its the most difficult thing I have ever had to do in my life, however like PJ said there is a high likelihood that I will slip up again, but its comforting knowing that their are people like Lori out there who can provide the hope that I inevitably I may lose sight of.I Refuse To Be A Statistichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04485819906297425159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-6433719801333323442011-06-22T18:46:53.050-07:002011-06-22T18:46:53.050-07:00Lori,

This surgery has a very high success rate and I'd only heard good things from people--fast recovery, I'd be out ice skating, no more pain, etc., etc.<br /><br />Well, my surgery went wrong. I'll skip the details except to say that the physiotherapists couldn't get their heads around me saying that something was wrong. Oh no! I was just recovering more slowly...<br /><br />Fortunately, my surgeon diagnosed the problem as soon as he saw me and I was back on the operating table shortly thereafter.<br /><br />It's been 8 years and I'm OK. I certainly didn't get the results everyone had promised me, but I can walk better than before, and have less pain (actually pain was never much of an issue) though my range of motion is far less than what I expected.<br /><br />Now, I'm "looking forward" to a knee replacement and frankly, with the experience I had with my hip, I'm rather scared. Yes, I'll do it (with a different surgeon), but don't ask me to have a sunny disposition...NewMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11172571318565002724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-20625179321216048922011-06-22T09:42:47.250-07:002011-06-22T09:42:47.250-07:00Lori,

And, me too, now because you share some of these thoughts with me. <br /> <br />This particular missive is so very uplifting, anyone who receives it has got to be motivated. I am!<br /> <br />Now...will you please send me a link I can get to from work so I can add a little to your effort? The one in this email is blocked by our company.<br /> <br />Thank God for you Lori!<br /> <br />BTW, thanks for the wonderful photo of you in front of all the sunflowers! That is excellent - and also very uplifting...<br />I'm praying for no rain on Saturday & Sunday.<br />Thanks Lori!<br />JeffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-82920496043241483502011-06-22T04:40:21.627-07:002011-06-22T04:40:21.627-07:00Yay Lori - wonderful, uplifting post!

You gave me that hope. I can always count on 100% hope from you :)PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486135269960422312noreply@blogger.com
