Finally I know for certain that I need my knee to be done. It's been a good time since diagnosis Jan 06, been able to do pretty much anything I wanted in that time except for a few episodes. But they got better and I really thought it might go on that way indefinately! Silly me!
So yesterday I went shopping for a new settee and was amazed to find I was walking without aids and did a good shop in the supermarket as well. That plus 40 min drives there and back. I was amazed.
Until around 2am when almost anything I did in bed in the way of trying to get comfortable was painful. I ended up coming downstairs for some pain pills - first time I've ever had to do that! Managed to get a bit of sleep but now feel zonked 'cus of the pills! Knee still hurts but strangely, is fine when walking and I can do the stairs without any hindrance whatsoever.
So I'm sitting here with my legs up on the settee and my TENS machine buzzing away. Boy, what a wonderful invention! And I just heard from the surgeon's secretary that she's left him a letter to say I'd rung (this morning) and hopes he'll get to it very soon.
Hey ho! Was inevitable, I suppose!
