Oh, to climb the stairs...

That is my desire these days.  I actually tried one step again today but it just wouldn't work. The pain was too excruciating.  Maybe I'm a wimp.  Guess that's possible.

Ms. S. was my physio gal today.  She was a bit more forceful and demanding than Travis but gave me a few more daily exercises to do. A no-noncense kind of gal and needed to see some results!!!  But she was wondering why my knee continues to have a bruised area above the knee cap and the swelling continues.  I was wondering the same.....

It's funny but I feel kind of stuck in one spot...in limbo...where I can't go backward but neither can I go forward.  Seems like I need a tow truck to give me a boost or a hefty chunk of carrot cake dangling in front of me to urge me on.

Perhaps this is what depression feels like....an inability to move forward.  Not sure.  Don't think I've ever been depressed but I have heard that this could be a symptom.

To keep me thinking positively, I keep in touch with granddaughter each night.  We text one another before we shut the lights out.  We wish one another a good and pleasant sleep and express how much we love each other followed by some endearing words and X's and O's.  I really have nothing to be depressed about ....just too much to be thankful for...I keep telling myself.

So, get with it, Mr. Knee.  Get moving and improving and strengthening so I can live normally again, please! 

And Mr Knee's reaction to that is....it's all up to YOU!!! 

Knees can be such jerks....so to speak.:)

I trust that you will sleep well this night.
