Slow days..

[lissa]

HiYa! Been trying to think of something amusing to write,,,after my former stories..things have been rather up and down. It's this burning escalating pain in both knees...happens from 3pm until I collapse at around 8pm. I am so glad to not be taking 12 vicodin..yeah, that's funny huh? Before surgeon and PT decided I was doing something wrong..so now ast least am on actual prescribed dosage of tramadol...and cutting out exercises, changing times of exercises, trying to get so that I rule the day...I keep a journal, I
think everyone should. Like yesterday, I wrote, exactely why I had that afternoon pain..I did all six exercises between 11:00 and 12:30 ...when I wrote it, the resason was clear...too many too close together. So, today, am cutting down exercises and spacing them so two are morning two are afternoon...see if I can hold myself to that! It's this other ego person that guilts me out for not doing more..blah blah. So I am in a battle with myself...its a very difficult fight, takes a lot of energy, its 17 days..they look good, the knees, think scars are too long for minimal invasive.. How is everyone else, any funny things happen this past week? Lissa

Lissa, you are doing just great. I think all of us have had that same battle with ourselves a few times. That's part of what makes this recovery difficult. You begin feeling a little better and want to just get on with life. WHAP!!! Your body hits you up side the head because it has quite a different idea.

Don't worry....you're normal. And things will get better with time.

Oh,Lissa...I remember how it works oh so wells. How long since your surgery? I remember having several melt downs because I had to depend so much on others. I felt like having fit! I hope things get better soon...if not give that OS another call

I don't think it is uncommon to have late afternoon/early evening pain. That has often been a rough time for me, too--both times around.

Are you trying the Tylenol as well as the Trams? You'd be amazed at the difference.
