Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / March 2005Ping: Duckie
Hey Duckie, I know you have been a busy little beaver trying to sort through things in order to get ready to move, but am wondering how that new knee is doing especially with your dancing? You are still dancing aren't you? How does that knee feel when you are dancing??? Donna G lol actually performing this weekend. It is doing really well. Stronger every day. I might even consider Samba again and haven't done that in 4 years. I am back dancing full out and feeling confident. Even dancing the most demanding chacha routine that is full of fast spins followed by dead stops. Knee is loving it. Jimmy asked me tonight if I would do the Spring Fling -- said he thought I was ready. I would need to sell a few old dresses in order to afford it but.... Spent the day cleaning computers of fluff; backing up things I want to keep; reformatting old zip drives; tossing the ones that wouldn't format [what a waste of money as 10 went into the trash]. But I reclaimed 15. Have about 20 more to go through. Then I have a whole lot of CD burning to do. After that I need to see if I can get that video converter to work. Lots of dance videos that take up lots of room I want to save and keep thinking if I can get them to DVD, they would take less room. It is on my list of things to do. Tomorrow we sign the papers with a real estate company to put the thing on the market. I think mid April. Cleaning continues but the basement is filled with boxes so we are making progress. We sent 300 paperbacks to Goodwill last week. Seems you are allowed to take $3 a paperback off next years taxes; it is $9 per hardback and no -- old encyclopedias do not count.

We should use her as our poster child on what a person CAN do with enough drive and work. I know I am wasting band width butttttt, please do not over do. It would be a shame to have a set back. Harv Cautious me Harv. Really. Wasn't allowed to even begin to dance until 3 months after the surgery. The fact that it is getting stronger and stronger is good. Part of that is also due to the Pilates Reformer. Pilates has been very good to me. I like the fact that on days I am starting to flare, I can back off on the amount of spring weights. Which means, I still go so I don't loose ground, but back off the weights when my body complains. Pilates has strengthened my core so much that my lower spine which is 'osteopina' has stopped hurting. The muscles surrounding it are so strong now that things don't shift around as much. It's all good. Thanks for worrying over my Harv. You waste all the bandwidth you want. :) Duckie > Our Duckie is just amazing.

Guess that new knee is working out just fine. Sarah L Awesome news all around, Duckie! It makes my heart so glad to know that you are dancing again and the knee is holding up for you. I hope every moment brings you happiness. Good luck with the house sale...it will be so wonderful to have you on this coast. We occasionally get down to Stockton to see my Dad and SF isn't that far away. Plus the Portland Gimpfest is coming and I am so looking forward to it. Put on the bubblewrap, everybody...I'm a hugger!

Now that's the kind of update I love to hear! My heart is dancing just reading about all you are now able to do with confindence! Sure wish I could be there this weekend to watch you perform. It really is amazing watching all of you perform. So exciting. Tell Jimmy and all of your other dance buddies I said hi! Wow, 300 books! That is a whole lot of books to get rid of. Sounds like you are definitely making quite the progress on this packing stuff! Good for you! April/May is a good time to get a house on the market. Hope it sells quickly for you! Take good care of that nice new knee, tell John hello, and thanks for the update!!! Hugs! Donna G PS.....when you move, will you look for a dance studio to get involved with right away? Sure hope so! The owner of this one is looking around for a good one for me. lol Duckie > PS.....when you move, will you look for a dance studio to get involved > with right away? Sure hope so!
