Just Shoot Me!

Get it over with!  UGH!  And here I thought I was doing pretty good.  Was up wandering the house, even used the cane instead of the walker for a short time (not really ready for that much though) and BOOM!  Last night, my knee blew up like a casaba.  I thought the idea was for the swelling to go away eventually, not make a big comeback!  Sheesh! And what’s with the bruises on my calf? Where did THAT come from? Maybe I can blame the Marquis? Heh. Needless to say, it was a pretty bad night….again.

However….I did manage to actually SLEEP more than 2 hours this morning. Ok, it was 2 1/2 hours in one shot, but that’s a record! :) Keep this up, in another couple of weeks, I’ll be up to 3! :?

I know, I know…..in a few weeks, I’m going to look back and decide “it wasn’t THAT bad”….right? RIGHT? sigh….

    Yup and Bull Crap!!!

    Just as with childbirth, you will look back and say: “That was REALLY terrible!”

    But; at least, the nonsense will be over with.  :)

    Talk to your PT guy about the swelling, he might let you have some ice to put on it.

    Don’t go pushing the envelope here, do only what your doc and PT guy say you can do, by trying to get better faster, you will only slow down the healing process.

    The memory of pain does fade with time, I think it’s a survival of the species thing, otherwise most women would never want a second child.

    Psst!  Why do you think I only had ONE kid???  LOL

    Yep….I pretty much know my limitations.  I have put on ice now and then.  Cold!  :)   Well, actually, Kayro syrup, which imho works better.  And it’s still COLD!
