It’s time that I make an announcement that my second knee replacement (left leg) is scheduled for August 12. This means that starting today, I will be less here than I have been before and not posting anything new at all after August 12 for awhile during my recovery.
The whole reason I started blogging over 1-1/2 years ago was solely to track the progress of my knee replacement. I had very little experience with photography; but as I recovered, I delved more into it, got a new camera, and last year around this time I had started morphing my knee replacement blog into a photography blog.
For the last year I’ve been diligently working on improving my photography and photoshop skills, taking classes, getting help from friends, googling (lol), making wonderful friends, and loving my hobby!
Even though I won’t be posting photos after August 12 for awhile, my intent is to stay connected by checking the work of all of you! You are the ones that will keep me in photography by viewing your photos and reading your blogs. What I truly hope for is that you won’t feel that I’m intentionally ignoring your blogs because I will most likely be sporadic in my following and certainly my posting. I have a few posts scheduled out for the next few days while I get some things done around here to ready myself for the surgery.
I’ll be back, I just don’t know when. Thank you again EVERYONE for supporting what I do and being so generous with your help and comments! I’ll be back as soon as I can!!
With much love,
Laura

Hope all goes well with the procedure…take good care.

Thank you so much 🙂
July 31, 2014 at 8:41 am
Laura, I’m praying “from God’s hands to your surgeons’s hands.” We’ll miss you. Wishing you a successful surgery and recuperation.
July 31, 2014 at 2:53 pm
I really appreciate those prayers! Thank you so much!
July 31, 2014 at 8:46 am
Be well soon, Laura. Your photography is wonderful too!
July 31, 2014 at 2:53 pm
Thank you John…I really appreciate it! 🙂
July 31, 2014 at 8:51 am
Laura – my best wishes on your surgery and recovery. I look forward to your return. Also, I was surprised to read that you’ve only been doing photography for a year and a half – you’ve come a long way in a short time!
July 31, 2014 at 2:54 pm
Thank you Melinda! I’ve been taking photos for about 4 years but the first 3 were mostly on auto…I really didn’t know what I was doing at all.
July 31, 2014 at 8:52 am
I send you all my best wishes – take care, Laura!
July 31, 2014 at 2:54 pm
Thank you so much!
July 31, 2014 at 8:56 am
I sincerely you get through this procedure and on the healing path quickly. I’ll miss your great photography (especially with that new lens).
Be well, and I’ll keep you in my thoughts.
July 31, 2014 at 2:55 pm
Thank you so much Dan. I appreciate your kind words and your friendship. 🙂
July 31, 2014 at 9:01 am
Ouch. Speedy recovery.
July 31, 2014 at 2:55 pm
That about sums it up…OUCH! lol Thank you!
July 31, 2014 at 9:03 am
Wishing you a peaceful and pleasant recovery, Laura. 🙂
July 31, 2014 at 2:55 pm
Thank you so much 🙂
July 31, 2014 at 9:03 am
Laura,
I came in late to the knee surgery, so I just thought you were a great photographer. Thanks for the update/story behind your blogging. I wish all the best for you with your surgery and recovery. You may find that you miss the blogging community a lot. All the best to you!
July 31, 2014 at 2:55 pm
Glad to have given you a glimpse. Thank you so much for your kind words and wishes!
July 31, 2014 at 9:05 am
I hope you have a speedy recovery and get well soon.
July 31, 2014 at 2:56 pm
Thanks Victor! I appreciate it. Maybe I’ll take a macro of my scar lol.
July 31, 2014 at 9:10 am
All the best wishes to you!
July 31, 2014 at 2:56 pm
Ahh thank you Ming!
July 31, 2014 at 9:12 am
Good luck with the operation Laura. Your enthusiasm and passion for photography has always been an inspiration to me. Seeing what you were learning has helped me to learn while following you so I’m going to miss the LM postings. Also loved your goofy (goofy in a good way) personality, so I hope you have a speedy recovery. Yes, even if it means macros of your stitches, lol. Best wishes and hope to see you back and well soon.
July 31, 2014 at 2:57 pm
Wow…such a nice thing to say! I really appreciate that a lot. And me?? Goofy?????? Bahhh! lol Thank you 🙂
July 31, 2014 at 9:29 am
Good luck with your surgery – Glad you made the notice as your friends would have been concerned about your absence. You will be missed in the short-term, but I hope this will allow you to return with a (image) vengeance 🙂
July 31, 2014 at 2:57 pm
Thanks much Robert. 🙂 I will definitely be returning with a vengeance! I can’t wait. 🙂
July 31, 2014 at 9:31 am
Wishing all good things for your surgery and rapid recovery afterward! You are so gifted with your photography! You’ll be sorely missed but I’m glad you’ve left us with a rich portfolio to look back on. Looking forward to more when the time comes!! Be well Laura!
Renata
July 31, 2014 at 2:52 pm
Aww thank you so much Renata! I appreciate your kind words.
July 31, 2014 at 9:32 am
Take care and all the very best to you!
July 31, 2014 at 2:52 pm
Thank you Raj!
July 31, 2014 at 9:32 am
well – I am not sure a knee replacement constitutes a reason to put your camera down 🙂 keep smiling and look forward to your next blog posts – Scott
July 31, 2014 at 11:20 am
ha, thanks for the smile Scott 🙂
July 31, 2014 at 9:45 am

Thank you!!
July 31, 2014 at 9:48 am
I wish you every success for the surgery, and a speedy recovery – may the pain be worth all the happy walking to come!!
July 31, 2014 at 11:21 am
Thanks much 🙂 I appreciate it.
July 31, 2014 at 9:50 am
I really hope you do well. Knee replacement is not a light one.
July 31, 2014 at 11:21 am
Thank you Beth. I’ll muddle through somehow. 🙂
July 31, 2014 at 9:51 am
Blessings on the procedure and the recovery process 🙂 Thank you for sharing all these things with us, your WP fans ❤
July 31, 2014 at 11:21 am
Aww thank you! That made me smile. 😀
July 31, 2014 at 9:56 am
Good luck on your knee! Hopefully your recovery goes quickly and less painful!
Let me know how you are doing?is it the same doctor?
July 31, 2014 at 11:23 am
Helloooo Cathy! One of my original followers!!!! I think this knee will be easier because there is less surgery involved with straightening the leg…at least that’s what I hear lol. Same doctor. I will have a better physical therapist immediately this time now that I know who to go see. I wasted six weeks with the first PT. Thanks much Cathy. 🙂 How’s your knee?
August 1, 2014 at 7:17 am
Hi Laura,
My knee is doing great. I have had a few setbacks , fell off my bike. Then a few months ago was working out and something popped. I was going to PT for my back and asked him what he thought it was and he was thinking it might have been scar tissue breaking up which is what I was thinking. It is a lot better now and so much better than before surgery! I bet you will do great!
August 1, 2014 at 7:47 am
Great to hear Cathy! I’m so glad it wasn’t a negative thing in the end. Ouch! You must’ve been scared. I fell six months in, right on my kneecap. Ugh, that was not fun. But these knees are pretty strong.
July 31, 2014 at 9:59 am
LM……..prayers your way, we will miss ya, but know you will be back stronger than ever and have a new view for all of us…..monos en theos…..jim
July 31, 2014 at 11:23 am
Thank you very much Jim :)))
July 31, 2014 at 10:02 am
Best wishes to you, Laura! I am sure everything will go well.
July 31, 2014 at 11:23 am
Thanks Amy 🙂
July 31, 2014 at 10:07 am
Laura, it’s only since recently we are in contact with each other (yes, I’m that ‘cool guy’ from South Africa). I can only hope that you’ll be back on track soon. Looking forward to see your pictures again!!! Keep well and be strong!!!
Herman
July 31, 2014 at 11:24 am

July 31, 2014 at 12:02 pm

July 31, 2014 at 12:24 pm
Laura: We are certainly going to miss your posts, so I hope you have a speedy and complete recovery. I will be looking forward to the day when my in-box announces “New Post from Laura Macky.” In the meantime, we’ll be thinking of you.

Thank you Robyn. I appreciate that! I’ll look forward to posting!
July 31, 2014 at 12:27 pm

July 31, 2014 at 1:43 pm
Laura, I’ve been thinking it’s about the time for your surgery. I certainly wish you the best possible surgery and recovery. As you know, I went through it all vicariously with my husband. I know it is a lot of hard work both physically and emotionally. I think your positive and loving attitude will help you through the bad parts. I look forward to tracking your recovery, as I know many of us will, and to having you back to your regular postings when you are feeling up to it.
July 31, 2014 at 2:59 pm
Thank you so much…it’s one of those things that you know about through someone close to you or that you’ve been through it yourself. Amazing how humans can fight through things like this. I will be better than ever when i return. Thank you!
July 31, 2014 at 2:07 pm

July 31, 2014 at 3:49 pm
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Whilst recovering you may like to view Melbourne Open House it is a Photographic Competition held here in Melbourne. It occurs in July over two days and this year it was held on 26th & 27th July. They open certain buildings where the public can go and view and there are others that you can only see if you enter a ballot. if you are lucky enough to get selected it is worthwhile. Melbourne is fortunate to have some beautiful iconic buildings. All the best and may you recover quickly.
July 31, 2014 at 5:43 pm
I would except I’m in California. 😛 Thank you for the wishes for a speedy recovery!
July 31, 2014 at 10:05 pm
I thought that you were from the US however, didn’t know from which state. My suggestion was purely to have a look on line at some of the photos whilst you are recovering. But you never know…… 🙂 Keep well.
July 31, 2014 at 10:57 pm
Oh lol…I thought you meant go there. Thank you for the suggestion! I will check it out. 🙂

Hope your knee replacement goes well, Laura. I am sure it will. And while you’re away, try to relax too…you probably won’t be feeling too good physically. We don’t want to be too much of a hassle 😉 Your photos are stunning, and I always assumed you did photography seriously for most of your life. You’re such an inspiration. See you soon 🙂
August 1, 2014 at 7:40 am

Good luck with the surgery and recovery.

Thank you!
August 1, 2014 at 8:01 am
As I’ve said before, I hope everything goes smoothly for you. At least you know what you will need to do and what to expect based on the first one and you’ve got your blog to look back on to refresh your memory if need be. Before you know it, you’ll be back out there photographing more things. 🙂
August 1, 2014 at 8:12 am
Thanks Justin. I appreciate the encouragement! I’m in the doctors office waiting for my pre-op lol

Thank you Robyn 🙂
August 4, 2014 at 6:57 am
Only a year and a half? Great. Maybe there’s still hope for me! After all, I’ve already had the knee operation. (Not a replacement but I tend to cling to any and all similarities I can!) And now that you know what to expect, this second one should be easier! Lots of luck with a speedy recovery!
August 4, 2014 at 7:45 am
Thank you Emilio….I’ll take all the good wishes I can! I clung onto all the other knee surgeries too until there was nothing left. I’d already had two arthroscopies on my R knee before I had the TKR. Now time for the left!

I never would have guessed that you hadn’t been a photographer for decades! What a surprise! I think you know how much I love your work. It always brightens my day. Coincidently, I too am a future candidate for a knee replacement, stemming from a skiing accident. When the time comes, I will call on you for advice. In the meantime, although you are an old hand at this, I wish you a speedy and painless recovery. God bless and good luck.

Thank you and please do! I know a lot about these things. Unfortunately. I have bad knees and used to work out like crazy with running, aerobics and lifting weights. I guess it all took its toll. Sorry to her you are a candidate as well. I’ll keep everyone posted. Occasionally, lol.
August 5, 2014 at 7:56 pm
Take care.

Being your second you know what you are in for so brave you in going forward. My husband had his done in May and now doing well but it’s a lot of work. Thoughts with you, Laura.
August 8, 2014 at 7:49 am
Thank you Lynne…yeah, ugh. I’m not looking forward to it but hopefully it will be worth it in the end. Glad to hear your husband is doing well now!
August 8, 2014 at 8:19 am
I’m a little behind on my blog reading and I just noticed that WP decided to unfollow you on my behalf! My apologies for being so behind!
I hope all goes well with the knee replacement and you recover as quickly as possible. Take care. xo
August 8, 2014 at 8:26 am
Oh that happens to me too! It’s so annoying! No worries. 🙂 And thank you for the wishes. I hope to be back here soon at least reading everyone else’s posts. Only a few more days now…

The important thing, Laura, is to be aggressively firm with your post-operative therapy– of course, you probably already know that. It’s just that I had loved ones who didn’t follow through with it. And to this day they avoid bending their knees in anticipation of the original pain. Good luck and get well soon. Peace.

Yes, I do agree and I was very good about it hte last time. I have other issues though in my body which make this a very challenging operation. But I have to do it unfortunately because my knees are shot (or I should say this one…I had the right one done 1-1/2 years ago and it is only ok mostly because of my other issues. I think this knee will do better because I didn’t wait so long and it’s much more of a “normal” leg than my other one. Thank you so much for your caring words and sage advice.

Best wishes to you Laura and a speedy recovery

LM……..I was thinking of you this morning. Hoping that your recovery is progressing. Look forward to hear you’re ready for a 10K LOL……if you are like me watching a 10k makes me weak…………blessings, peace and healing all over you………monos en theos…jim
August 17, 2014 at 10:49 am
Thank you Jim for thinking of me. I’m doing pretty good considering and am enjoying being home from the hospital. Ummya I don’t think I’ll be in a 10K anytime soon but I’ll look forward to getting behind my camera in a month or so. At least behind my computer in a couple weeks! Thanks for thinking of me. It means a lot. 😀
