Underneath the Smile!

[lexsarset]

Hello everyone! Hope you guys had an awesome Easter. 🥰 Mine started off slow after hosting an Easter Egg hunt and pageant for the kids at church. I worked hard all week so I was hurting on Easter! However, I managed 2 make it to church!

As I type this, I am getting my weekly infusion of vitamins and minerals. I know some folks are worse off than I am; however, some days I just want 2 scream and shout that I am tired of living with MS! I am a smiler! I smile thru the good and the bad, the ups and the downs. 🤷🏾‍♀️ No one truly know what’s behind the smile. Some days are truly rough and I feel like MS is winning. I do aquatic therapy, weekly infusions, take herbal supplements , and the list goes on + on!

Yesterday, I had a 2 hr MRI which literally exhausted me! I also need a knee replacement on what was my good leg! 🤦🏾‍♀️ I overcompensated by using it more when I was diagnosed in14, now it’s bone on bone! I need 2 know if any of U had knee replacement surgery and what was the outcome? I need 2 hear from someone in my situation. Sorry 4 ranting! I try to smile everyday despite my trials. Sending hugs! Continued blessings 2 all!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I haven’t had any knee replacement,  lexsarset , but I am sure someone in this forum has and will share their experience with them. You have a beautiful smile and I am happy that you had a blessed Easter. Thank you for sharing with the forum. 🤗

Hi lexsarset glad your easter was good. Mine was 2 a nice quiet day after church. Stopped picked up chicken dinner from KFC then had a nice nap & quiet afternoon. I have not had a knee replacement but I understand the bone on bone I have it in my hands & they don't do hand replacements yet! I will pray for you & your surgery to be successful & a speedy recovery. Mary

I haven't had a knee replacement but ... what a great dress!🟡🟡🟡🟡🟡🟡🟡

No knee surgery but what a beautiful dress 👗. My brother doesn’t have ms but he had both knees replaced in 2008 and was back playing racket all 10 months later. He had one replaced again last year as I think he has wore them out after 15 years. He’s 73 years old now and the second one not so good ☹️. Good luck and hopefully everything works out for you 🙏🤗

Beautiful lady

I hate to echo everyone else, but it just doesn't seem fair that you can wear both yellow and circles and look so pretty! If I tried that, I'd be a washed-out blimp.

My dad had knee surgery at 42 after a car accident, but they botched something, he developed sepsis, and they had to do it again. He walked with a limp for the next 40 years and had frequent pain, but I'm assuming that the procedure has improved a lot since then.

Nice photo!

My father in law had it done back around 1987.

He was around 50 YO.

I don't know the healing time but my husband caught him a week later out in front of his house trying to sprint down the sidewalk!

😂

Good luck with your surgery

Everyone is tired of living with ms all we can do is carry on good luck and keep smiling

Lady! I want you to come and sort out my wardrobe! I have no sense of style and could use some help! You are very stylish, all with a smile on top. Good for you!

Sorry for the late post. I haven't needed a knee replacement. I agree with the group you looked fabulous for Easter. God be with you always!

Everyone I know that has had a knee replacement was so thrilled with the results.

I adore your hat! I wish I could look as good as you do in one!
