today I went to see the physiotherapist again for my knee…

before he looked at it, they iced it… then he checked to see what was still painful… happily most of what he did, didn’t hurt… yay…

then he used ultrasound on it, followed by an electrical current… the ultrasound just feels like gentle massaging but I’m not so sure how I feel about the electricity bit… he describes the feeling as worms running around under your skin… hmmm…

he was showing his Jets love with a great jersey…

we talked about what types of physio I needed to do while I am away to stay on the improvement journey… we also discussed treatments that might be available in the future if it doesn’t settle down… people have given me many suggestions, lol…

I will see him once I get back from my trip… looking forward to walking without a limp;-)…

well, easy does it…

leg…

big girl pants, family, grandsons, hot tub, hurt, leg, supper, walk, widow, zoo

on Friday the boys and I did some walking… to the bakery and grocery store, and around the zoo…

I was fine for the first part of the day but when I got out of the car at the zoo I felt like my leg had slipped out of the socket… seemed like it just needed to be pushed back in…

walked all around the zoo slowly and took a few sit down breaks while the boys played on/at various spots…

when I got home it was still very sore and by the time I went to bed it really hurt… thought about a hot tub but was worried I wouldn’t be able to get out on my own… when I went up the stairs I had to take them one at a time… had trouble finding a comfortable spot to sleep…

by morning it was still uncomfortable but a bit better… seemed best when I was still… bending, leaning, twisting all caused pain… walking was a slow process but as the day progressed I felt better…

still sore in the evening but was able to get into the hot tub and felt good when I got out…

slept better and feeling good today although I have taken it very easy…

disconcerting because I can’t put a finger on what caused the problem…

my activity today consisted of putting a roast into the crockpot and enjoying the smell all day… oh my…

came out fabulous… looked a bit brown, but tasted delicious… made a potato and cauliflower mash, blended all the vegetables that cooked with the pot roast in the crockpot and mixed them with the shredded meat…sprinkled some green onion over the top and that was it…
