Great day!!

[cindy88fan]

Went to the Dr. today and also had PT. Busy day! Anyways, the tingling I have had for a couple days started to scare me a bit. Yesterday I was running a fever and the swelling was bad...real bad. D talked me into calling the Dr. They got me right in. There's no infection with the knees. The tingling is probably from the swelling being so bad..makes it feel tight and the fever, since it's gone today and I feel great, just a 24 hour bug probably. Dr. said to ice, elevate and rest and stop over doing it! He said I'm doing too much which is what caused the swelling more than likely.

Now about PT. Joseph finally told me I did fantastic!!! He usually tell me I did good or good job. My right knee, I gained 6 more degrees and my left knee I gained 12 more degrees since Monday. I got on the bike and I had no problem showing him how to make it go around so he made me get off and he lowered the seat to make it harder on me and I still did it. We did some new exercises which were hard but fun. After PT was done he asked me for the pain level....0. Still not having any pain!!!!

I really needed a good report because I was really starting to feel down. Now I'm going to celebrate by going to the lake tomorrow and go fishing and boating. Yes, don't worry, I will not over do it and I will take my peas and pillows with me!!! :wahey:

Hope everybody has a nice weekend!!!
