TUESDAY TIDBITS....WOUNDED KNEE!!


Good Morning to everyone in blogland!! I wanted to post last night but our server was down. What a day yesterday turned out to be. Anymore you just do not know what to expect from each day!!

I was washing with my new washer and enjoying things getting done so fast!! WOW!! I now know that my old washer WAS not spinning right because i got my clothes washed and dried in "express time" yesterday!! WOW!! I was just buzzing right along!!

My daughter called and was going to Target and well I try never to miss an opportunity to go shopping with another person. I love shopping with someone. I limped along with her, hurting all the way but finished up some good shopping for these two grands here and a couple of nice neighbors!!

We went to OLIVE GARDEN to eat and by the time we got there we were both simply starved. After 2 salads and 2 bowls of their yummy soup we decided to pick ourselves up and get going again.

I had to get home in time to only leave again for my orthopedist appointment. When i walked into that BIG OFFICE I thought that everyone was on crutches, walkers or limping like me. What a crowd...most of Savannah was in there!!

I got in quicker that I had figured!! I had 4 standing xrays and then was ushered into the doc's office. Wow!! This guy is a looker even for me being SO OLD!! He thinks that maybe i have torn my miniscus!! GREAT!! They are ordering an MRI soon. It will tell the real story!! He kept asking me what I did and you know i have NO IDEA at all. I just got up from bed one morning and POW!!! He said everyone has a story. I said well not me unless you want me to make up one!!

He came back in and gave me a cortisone injection...which of course hurt...but oh well what is new!! He said that would help me be comfortable for a few days....and it is!! Now we just wait for the MRI to be set up and go from there.

I still have to deal with all of these silly stairs here at my house!! I go down sideways!! What fun!!

Just wanted to update you guys on my KNEE STORY!! I am so glad that I am about finished with Christmas shopping just in case!!

It has turned off cool here now!! More like the season that we are in!!

Have a wonderful day!!

Sounds like you have been busy. You know I understand knee problems. I hope your is resolved quickly.
Enjoy that new washer....mine is making some funky noises, I may be replacing it soon. It's probably about time, it's only 23 years old!!!

I've been reading your blogs almost daily. This is the first time I've posted, but I wanted to say I wish you well with your knee problems and hope that you won't have to have knee surgery.

Also, I'm glad you are enjoying your new washer.

And did the Doc say what the treatment might be IF IT IS a torn miniscus? Sounds surgical...

I'm sO jealous that you are almost done shopping! I'm not even close! I need to go! I NEED to GO!

Susan said...

I can never find anyone to shop with! I wish I did have someone. I am praying your knee does not require surgery...but I know that your stairs must make it stress even more.

Hugs to you.

Susan
