Hello everybody out there ...I'm back twinkly here .iv been recovering from a total knee replacement surgery ,but I'm better now ! I managed to stick to my healthy eating all the time I was in hospital .i took strawberries and fresh blueberries with me ,my friends fetched me fresh fruit and juice on their visits ..my recovery was good I'm now walking normally again ..swelling all gone .i missed the driving for a few weeks ,I live isolated with my dogs so need to use my car .i had my ruxulitnib every day while having the surgery .since coming home I saw a new specialist for artheritis .he told me he can give it in severe artheritis cases .Thats quite a breakthrough I reckon ....twinkly !

I'm ok thank you. I have been over on the Liver pages a bit more than this one. My PV has taken a back seat...well it shouldn't have seeing as they are doing a further BmB to confirm there thoughts that I have now moved to MF. Anyway, I am still waiting on my liver transplant and hoping I get 'the call' soon. It's wonderful to see you and hear your positive news. So often we get bogged down with symptoms, anger and sadness that we forget life is for living and you truly are the representation of that! xx

Good to see you back Twinkly - I think catwoman2015 will be pleased, she was enquiring about you a few days back.

Start sending us some of your 'thoughts for the day' again, they were always interesting.

Bye for now

So pleased you are feeling better. I need new knees myself. I was told a while ago that they wouldn't even consider it until my platelets had been level for 12 months - that hasn't happened - yet!

What a gorgeous dog, I love big dogs, actually I love all dogs but definitely prefer big dogs!
