UPDATE from the armchair: Sunday, February 1

Well it’s been a great day!

We’ve had the fun of an “overnighter” with the granddaughters.

I came up the stairs understanding that grampa had made hot chocolate for them. It was hot - but when it cooled enough he called them to get it. What I heard upon entering our mainliving space is our youngest saying “I like mine with double foam” 😳 what? Apparently they have a “frother “ at their house lol.

We made cupcakes for my parents anniversary today. 63 years. February 1, 1963. Not too many people these days make it that long. Truly inspirational ❤️

Had a lovely spontaneous get together at their place to which they were delighted with. All great grandchildren and grandchildren present 😊

Right hip has been good; left knee not so good. I see the surgeon for my follow up appointment on February 10 so I think I have to have a serious talk and consideration about getting my left knee fixed. Could mean not the best summer, but at least I wouldn’t be dealing with snow ❄️

Well I was thinking bedtime around 5:30 but apparently that was “too soon” so I’m thinking now might be more appropriate lol.

Hope everyone stayed warm today and enjoyed the sunshine 🌞

UPDATE from NOT the armchair: Friday, January 30

Finally ….. a date night ❤️

Beautiful afternoon for a drive. Ok, so I had a chiro appointment BUT it got us out of the house and enjoyed the scenery, sunshine and fresh air.

Had a lovely spontaneous visit with my handsome brother, Joseph Fenton and beautiful purple-haired SIL Tanya Fenton - always lovely to share a coffee and catch up.

Headed to Boston Pizza and enjoyed some appetizers- delish.

Met our dear friends, Carole H Ewert and Victor Ewert for an action movie. The movie did move faster than me lol. Topped off by a stop for “after 8pm appetizers” at Kelseys before driving back home.

It was a lovely outing and long overdue.

Hip is tired. Left knee is singing like it’s auditioning for a position in Les Miserable- but for tonight - I will put ear plugs in to drown out the racket (and a couple strong Tylenol 😉)

Sleep well 😴 everyone and stay warm. 🔥

UPDATE from the armchair (kinda 🤷‍♀️): Monday, January 26

Well there was some armchairing today but not like there has been.

Started the day with 12 minutes on the vibration plate …. So far so good.

Got dressed, had brekky, tidy upstairs a bit, started on some tax prep ….. and decided that was enough. lol. Didn’t want to overdo it 🤪

Realized around 1:00 pm that my cane that I parked near the kitchen counter was still there and that I had been moving around without it 👍🏻

I’m still not walking smoothly. Little bit of a wounded penguin hobble 🐧 but it’s progress.

Chilled for a bit …… wintery days.

Tomorrow - hoping for more improvements 😊

UPDATE from the armchair (-12C late evening edition): Saturday, January 24

Pretty good day. Little bit more walking without the cane. Some was more out of necessity than my comfort level.

I’m finding using the cane with my left hand - my baby and ring finger have been going numb and the palm of my hand and wrist are killing me 😭. Anyone else have this experience?

Had a lovely visit with Rachael Russo and Tony Russo and the boys. Especially the birthday boy 🎉. Where has 9 years gone? ❤️ Nannie and grampa love you so big!

Had a beautiful bunch of flowers delivered from a very special friend. Thank you Alicja Hands on Health Massage Therapy Port Colborne - you brightened my day ❤️

Made a dessert and had a nice visit out before the snowmageddon happens 😂❄️

Time for a hot cup of chi tea 🫖 and some curcumax, itaren and itadol to support the inflammation and tightness in my left knee and right hip-side area.

UPDATE from the armchair (brrrrrr 🥶): Friday, January 23rd

It was a good day. Had a lovely visit from 2 very special ladies. Thank you Heidi Ewert and your partner in crime (the lovely Madie) for the giggles; it made my day ❤️

Did some walking around (small areas of inside real estate) without the cane. Not going to lie, there was some sweating going on like I was a contender in the Olympics for one of the podium spots lol. 🏅

Went for a very short car ride to get some blood work done. Puttered around the house. Dinner, and …… done.

Recovery is hard work. 😓

Thank you for everyone that is keeping me in your prayers and thoughts.

UPDATE from the armchair: Thursday, January 22

Nothing like a blustery winter day for gourmet hotdogs for supper. Nope, no barbecue was used in the making of these bad boys LOL. Oven roasted. Yum!

Physio yesterday kicked my butt. Repercussions today 😞

So - slowed down my day. Did some gentle stretching. Puttered. Rested. Rinse and repeat.

I guess some days will be like this to remind me that healing takes time and that I need to learn some patience for the process and with myself.

I’ve been go go go for so long I think my whole being didn’t really know how to be put on pause.

Again, so very thankful for Rachael Russo and Jenny Lima for handling the office. ❤️

UPDATE from the armchair: Wednesday, January 21.

We call this “Georgie” spice. It makes all kibble yummy, apparently 😊

Busy day. Went for physio. That was a tough session. New exercises given to strengthen muscles around the surgery area. You know your going to hurt later when half way through showing you an exercise with an “exercise” band they look at each other and say -oh, we should have used the lighter band 😳

Yup, about 1 hour later my muscles are feeling like they are on fire. Open Tylenol bottle and swallow a couple. 😭

Tomorrow - quiet day staying put.

Anyone have a pair of down hill skis for sale - could be fun ….

01/21/2026

UPDATE from the armchair: Tuesday, January 20.

Small improvements. Feels like a snails pace. 🐌

Although yesterday and today felt “better” anyone that’s a “go go go” type personality knows that sometimes it can’t be fast enough.

A couple dear friends gently reminded me today it’s not a race and I need to exercise patience. (Like right now?) lol

Here’s to tomorrow - one step at a time (literally).

Night all 😴

01/20/2026

UPDATE from the armchair: Monday, January 19

Another better day. Did some walking around short distances without the cane.

Still feeling very uncertain 😬

It was a great day to be inside.

Watched some tv, made a pot of soup for supper. Comfort food on a blustery winter day.

I must say on a day like today - it was
Kinda nice being hunkered down at home.

A girl could get used to this lol

UPDATE from the armchair: Sunday, January 18

Had another great day ….. BUT …… going to describe a visual for you.

Let’s say you are at home and you have listened in the quietness to a leaking dripping faucet in your bathroom - drip, drip, drip. It goes on for months, maybe even years. Not fixed. (Just a visual friends not a true life at the Whitnall home lol) …. Drip, drip, drip. You know it has to be fixed. One morning you wake up and you go into the bathroom and turn on the light and there is a buzzing sound. Light off - no sound. Light on - buzz. Grrrrrrr. You put up with it for a couple years when finally, one day, the electrician comes in - takes the plate off the switch - and fixes the buzz. Light on - no buzz ……. Ahhhhhh bliss.

But wait - now that there is no buzz, you hear that annoying - drip, drip, drip. 😞

I am so thankful to have had my hip done (buzzzzzzzzz). But now that the 2 year old buzz has stopped seeking my attention - the drip, drip, drip is being heard from again.

I have dealt with knees issues and pain for the last 10+ years. The hip came up fast and deteriorated fast (buzzzzz). Now that there is no more buzzzz I can hear the drip SO LOUDLY.

Does anyone know what the warranty period is on hips? Knees? I have a feeling that the annoying drip on the left may have to be the next thing to deal with.

That being said - God is good, ALL the time. We had a special visit today with family and grandbaby. Good food. Good fellowship. Lots of smiles. ❤️

UPDATE from the armchair: Saturday, January 17

GREAT DAY!

Nothing revives your mind and body like a shower and trip to the hair dresser 😊

WIN: Moved a lot more today. 🏎️
WIN: Trip to the hairdresser that was cancelled before Christmas (thank you Jen Nicholls)
WIN: Used the cane today BUT had moments when I didn’t (was close enough to a counter-wall-80 pound golden doodle) in case I needed stabilization
WIN: Only took 2 Tylenol arthritis today (no prescription pain meds …. Yet)
WIN: Did some marches with right leg - I won’t win a contest but it’s a small start and I’ll take it.
WIN: Prepped and made supper for family and friends tonight yummy 😋
MOMENT OF CONFUSIONARY THOUGHTS: while resting, seriously started contemplating getting my left knee done - they say it hurts more than a hip - how bad could it be ….. I will have to mull that over a bit more 🤣🥲

I’m tired - wishing I was fast-walking but for today, it was a good day and I’m content with that. ❤️

01/16/2026

UPDATE from the armchair (late edition):

So - pretty good day 😊

Finally had a good night sleep. No alarm clock set ✔️

Did some puttering around the house. Did my red light therapy. Some exercises Did some more puttering. Made some lunch. Then ….. went to the Fairview Mall in St. Catharines and did a lap ✔️

Drive to NOTL to see mom and dad (proof of life required in person visit lol) ✔️

It felt good to get out of the house (very carefully on the outside surfaces). Didn’t want to look like Bambi on ice skates 🦌

Back home snuggled in the armchair just waiting for supper to finish. It was a good day. ✔️

Feeling very blessed and thankful for my hubby for taking such good care of me ❤️

Thanks to friends and family for continued prayers and encouragement.
