Raining today, and I'm not feeling at all tempted to go outside. Which today is probably in my best interest anyway, as I think I managed to be "on my feet" a bit too much on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday another short walk to/in the cemetery; and yesterday was laundry day, and even if I tried to mostly just rest in between my turns down to the basement laundry room, my knee seemed to be complaining. I still can't claim to be 100% fluent in knee language, but it does tend to use a mix of increased heat, swelling and and pain to express displeasure... So today I decided to mostly keep my feet "up" + take Ibuprofen to keep down inflammation. (Kept to Paracetamol the first weeks because of the bruises, but Ibuprofen more effective against inflammation.) And I won't make this post any longer, because sitting at the computer means "feet down", even if not putting weight on the knee...
Your knee is not happy and is making sure you listen to it.
ReplyDeleteJanice, we've been getting on better today, with me keeping more still...
DeleteOh dear, i hope you feel better soon. I find as I get older, my knees don't like me doing certain things either.
ReplyDeleteAmy, that knee of mine wasn't "100%" even before my traumatic fall, which makes me a bit extra worried about it.
DeleteI am amazed that my poor knees still are working, though I do grab a handrail when on steps, either up or down! They frequently talk to me. Hope yours behaves better soon.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, I can really sympathize. I am having nerve ablation on both my knees, have needed surgeries for maybe 20 years now! They do take a long time to heal, because we have to use them all the time.
