What a Weather Day

Can I go in now? It's sunny NOW!
Rain then clouds then downright muggy and hot as I type.
I went to see a specialist today for the knee. He manipulated it in such a way that I am in agony. How foolish of me. I was hoping for a cortisone shot but he said that only deceives you and then you will damage it more so best to do tylenol 1s when the pain is real bad and Aleve and more Aleve. No more walking over xpens. No more running marathons - me, I don't do such stuff. Ice several times a day. Don't allow it to get stiff but do not overdo. Pillows under leg. Raised position as much as I can. Exercises to strengthen after pain subsides completely. He tells me it is a Grade II but really almost a Grade III and I will need surgery but we are avoiding that. I went back in as I couldn't handle the pain and to be honest, I had a temporary status of stupidity. Yep, that's me. So, if I looked stoned, I may be pouring gin and tonics for myself night and day. Yes, I am laughing. the dogs know something is wrong as they are licking my knee all night long. They seem to take turns. This too shall pass but I have no patience for 5-6weeks. Whine, whine, whine - so sorry.
Think I will go lay in the pool and see if the crabby me goes away. The dogs and I. Dennis said too hot for an outdoor run.

Sorry to see you're having so much trouble with your knee, Darlah. Not fun. I don't know what the Grade numbers mean, unless they have something to do with arthritis? Hope you feel some relief soon.
Patt: He says my knee is not stable. He can move it. He did suggest surgery but I have to avoid that. Poor Nathan wouldn't survive and well I need to make $$.
