So tired

[Solily]

Three weeks post knee replacement. PT states they think I am coming along well. Let me tell you... the last several days have been horrible. My stepdad that resides in an assisted living care facility took a sudden turn as to which I spent 3 days .. minus at night because I needed to be in bed for my knee at his side. So could not sleep as I was expecting a phone call at any time. On the 11th he went to heaven with my husband and me at his side.my mother passed in2020 and my husband and I are the only family in the area . He was the sweetest ... kind and gentle man. We will miss him immensely. And of course the stress of him passing and also the knee discomfort while in bed has caused a deficiency in rest and sleep. Will this tiredness ever subside? Have PT this afternoon and hope I do not fall asleep on the exercise bench!! Miss my stepdad so very much as we visited often and hopefully brought joy to his life🙏🏻

So very sorry to hear of your sad loss Solily. You did a wonderful thing staying with your stepdad despite your knee pain and that must have brought such comfort to him. Deepest sympathies to you and your husband.

I hope you can sleep now as much as you possibly can and wish you a continuing good recovery.

Sending love and gentle hugs, Carole xx❤️🤗💕

Oh dear Solily. I am sorry to hear this. You and your husband did your best for your stepdad. Rest assured he knew this. No doubt the stress and discomfort has set you back a little, but you can regain that lost ground by continuing to rest and recover. Just take it easy now and take care. xx 🍀

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement xx

You did what you knew was right in the circumstances, and blessed your stepdad with your presence and support in his final hours, despite your own struggles. That will be a comfort to you now as you work towards getting your fitness back after your operation. Every blessing xx

Oh how sad for you both, I am so sorry. Your stepdad was a very lucky man to have had you and your husband as family, I'm sure you made a vast difference to his life.

Now you have to think about you again. The pain will ease and you will catch up on your sleep. Feeling so tired and in pain is not fun, but it is temporary. there is light at the end of the tunnel (even if you can't see it yet!).

Rest up, take care, Laurie xx

Condolences to you and your husband on your sad loss. You did well to spend time with him before he passed and I'm sure he must have been comforted by this. Try to rest up as much as possible now and get your knee better x

No wonder you're tired Solidly, its a traumatic thing to lose such a dear loved one especially in such a way. I hope you can take heart that you were with him and that he knew how much he was loved and appreciated throughout his life. He sounds a lovely man.One day at a time to get some well earned rest and recuperation 💐 💐 💐

sorry to hear of your loss. My heart goes out to you. You must look after yourself after yr surgery. The surgical pain is horrid but the recovery pain and exhaustion on top of emotional upset is going to take it out of you. Rest when you can, dose up and let us know how you are doing 24/7. Take care 🦊xx

So sorry that you have lost your step dad. He sounds a lovely man. I hope the knee soon starts to feel less painful. Would it help to ask the doctor for sleeping tablets to tide you oer his bad period.

[Alberta56 in reply to Alberta56]
