Hi, Beach....how was your day today? Are you back on a "reasonable" schedule? Did you get good rest over the weekend? Hope the answer to both is a resounding YES!
 
Hi Jamie,
I have an easy week this week... 'bout time, huh? My job can be really brutal on my knees and back. I really think I wouldn't be in this position if I'd had a different kind of job the past 27 years! Those concrete floors are killers.

I had my MRI on my "other knee" today. The tech said he got great images--- that I was perfectly still. I should have results in a few days and we see what happens next.

We are back to cold, gloomy, damp weather again here--- but it was warm and sunny at the tanning place tonight! LOL! We leave for vacation in less than 2 months. I can't wait.

Take it easy and keep getting better. I am really proud of your great progress.
 
Thanks and I'm wishing you MANY easy weeks ahead until you see the REAL beach! Do you think you'll have to have surgery on your other knee soon?
 
We had a gorgeous day here once the clouds burned off this morning. Last night was a different story, though....BIG thunder, lightening, rain, and hail storm for a couple of hours. The weather definitely played games with my leg. I was up and down all night between the storms, my knee and worrying. My precious dog got VERY sick yesterday morning all of a sudden and we had to take her to the vet and leave her overnight so that she could get IV fluids. She is 12 1/2....very old and we weren't sure she would make it. She started throwing up yesterday morning and could not stop. Poor baby....in the 45 minutes while we were thinking it would stop, she got very weak. It's a good thing we got her to the vet right away, because he was able to treat her quickly to stop the vomiting. She is back home tonight, but still very, very weak. She won't eat yet, but is drinking water. And sleeping like crazy, which is good. We think maybe something she ate just didn't agree with her aging stomach. Blood tests showed her liver and kidneys are fine. Pancreatic functions were elevated, but the doc said not as much as he expected, so it's possible they will go back to normal once she gets her stomach calmed down. I'm going to try and get her to go back to bed with me here in a few minutes. I guess you can tell from this posting that I love her dearly and was very, very worried.
 
High schools are always busy in the spring, but I do take it as easy as i can. It is nice to have a quiet week for a change, though. Tomorrow morning we are making Tiramisu. That will be fun--- but I usually like it more than the students do....lol

Not sure about my other knee. It is also arthritic, but we don't know yet what is causing this pain. There is more kneecap pain in this knee, but a lot of old, familiar pain in the lateral compartment as well. If it needs to be done I will have it in July as soon as we get back from vacation so I can heal before school starts again. I can't afford to miss more school and it is a looong school year to work my job in pain.

Better turn in.... 5:15 comes early.... take it easy and sleep well
