Hi Darlin’, I don’t know if it was because of the PT yesterday or taking a couple of awkward steps last evening, but I had a lot of pain today, despite taking a strong pill last night and a couple of OTC pills this morning. I keep feeling like things aren’t exactly in the place they’re supposed to be, though my PT gal keeps telling me she thinks it’s all okay. I did my required knee exercises, but then when I went to do this one exercise I’m supposed to do several times a day, I definitely felt something slip. There was a moment of pain, but then I was still able to walk on it, but I’m getting to the point where I’m almost afraid to move on it for fear I’ll damage something worse. The problem is, if I don’t move enough, the swelling gets worse, and if I move too much the swelling also gets worse. Trying to find the balance is the key, but I’m not really sure how to do that. I iced it all day, in fact the only two times I left the trailer was to get more ice, the rest of the day was sitting, reading, watching TV, and just those few exercises. I just hope this is all normal, but who knows what normal is supposed to feel like? I thought the pain would have subsided somewhat by now, but that’s not happening. I guess I have to go back to a regular regime of pain pills and hope for the best. So frustrating! Anyway, otherwise a quiet (too quiet) day. Off to bed now. Good now, sweetie! Love you!
