I did SUCH a dumb thing!

Betsi, how is your knee doing?

It's getting a little stronger. When I went back at 3 weeks the doc told me to wear the brace for 3 more weeks. I go back on the 20th so I have my fingers crossed that he'll tell me I can at least sleep without it I had 2 funerals to go to this week, and it was really hard to find something to wear that fit over the brace. I gave up wearing dresses a few years ago, so I wear nice pant suits when I dress up, lol!

My knee does feel better, but it still wakes me up several times a night throbbing. Thankfully just a position change usually helps! It's pretty hard to keep it bent in the car, which makes traveling not much fun.

Thanks for giving me a chance to whine I think I'm just tired of dealing with it. I am thankful that it's healing on it's own. So far, so good!! I'm going to miss my big ugly brace when it's gone

I know you are tired of it too! I don't wear dresses anymore either - gave it up long ago, so I can imagine how much fun it would be to find pants that fit over a brace.

I've been having trouble with the knee I hurt way back in high school playing basketball. I hope it doesn't start giving me trouble all the time.

Mike is having a set of injections in his knee. Once a week for 5 weeks. He had it done last year and it helped for quite a while. Maybe you could try something like that.

I'm thinking I might have to go see the doc to see what I should/shouldn't be doing. It doesn't hurt all the time at all, it only hurts occasionally if I step the wrong way. But it is feeling more unstable and I don't like that feeling.

That unstable feeling is scary. I'd hate to fall and break a hip...or my neck, lol!!

I know, the instability is what bothers me the most.
