Not a good day and need a place to whine as hubby isn’t quite supportive on this one. Feel free to slap my wrist if needed.
I’ve been in a funk lately. I made it they the post surgical depression (barely) but last few days I’ve been bouncing between little victories and depression and frustration and outright sadness.
Last night I barely slept again. This time my knee was the cause. Had a great pt yesterday and then last night the pain was brutal. Felt like a steel band above and below the joint itself. Finally had to take a 30mg codeine to take the edge off.
Woke up and couldn’t even straighten my leg to get up and walk. Took a good 20min.
The pool wasn’t so great either. I really had to hobble to get into the pool. Then the knee didn’t quite have that
moment I expected. It didn’t bend any easier. I just sorta walked a bit and some squats and only felt like it got to about 70.
Getting out and showered and changed drained me and then my ride was 45min late so I was standing there as there was no where to sit.
To make it worse, my ride service was a compact car, and being my knee wouldn’t bend at all I got stuck in the front seat going AND returning and literally had to flop out with my foot caught.
I have pt tomorrow and am dreading it. The thoughts of any movement makes my skin crawl right now. At least I have massage after.
K. I’m done being whiney.
Just felt so close to normal yesterday and today I felt like I was way back at the beginning again.
