big girl pants, hurt, Jets, knee, moments, pain, physio, ultrasound, widow

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…

right…

A1C, big girl pants, blood work, exercise, gentle, ice, knee, pain, pedicure, physio, purple, right, sore, walk, widow

my goodness, crazy busy day…

woke up really early and watched a few tv shows…

had difficulty walking as my right knee has gone from a bit of discomfort to serious pain…

got ready and went for blood work for my next doctor’s appointment… I always try not to stress but it is difficult as I wonder if I’ve consumed the wrong foods which could have raised my A1C… the technician did a great job as I barely have a mark on my arm… yay…

was able to get in for a pedicure at the last minute and it went well… a few times I had to hold my leg as the aesthetician worked on it… she had lovely purple hair and is the most gentle person on staff…

then it was off to the physiotherapist office to see what they might be able to do to help my very sore knee… it had been uncomfortable for a while but in the last two days I have barely been able to walk…

he advised that is was inflamed but felt it was likely osteoarthritis… did lots of measuring, pushing and pulling and then used ultrasound and electricity on it… I have things to do three times a day and go back in a week… he mentioned that it was likely going to hurt a bit more after all his prodding… and he was right…

icing it as I write this… good news is that it should be much better by the time I head to Ottawa;-)…

insurance continued…

carpet, drywall, George, headache, insurance, physio, ServiceMaster, tucked me in bed

rough day as I was struggling with a very bad headache… haven’t had one like that in many months… was taking notes for two hours and wondered if I was going to make it till the end…

left work around 2:30 and headed out to my physio appointment… was heated up, bent out of shape, pummeled, iced and electrocuted, then sent home…

looking forward to sleep I found a message from ServiceMaster who wanted to come and check out the carpet and basement wall… one fellow arrived, had a look and called some other guys who came and removed a portion of the underpad and set up blowers and a dehumidifier which will run until Tuesday when they will come back and take out two feet of drywall across the entire wall…

looking into the basement...

looking into the basement…

then I will wait to hear what the cost of doing a complete fix will be…  they won’t do anything until I get home…

fans going under carpet...

fans going under carpet…

finally, after all that I got to have a short nap…

George would have known exactly what to do, sigh… I am missing him like crazy… he would have got me something to eat and drink and tucked me into bed and then dealt with all the craziness in the basement…
