Thank God for email!  Got an email from Vickie saying she'd be at my house by 5:45 Tuesday.  For some reason I thought it was odd since I had an appointment at the hospital for 9:30 to...

Well, the extra furniture is gone.  It's amazing how much more space I have in the living room.  Been trying to get rid of it for 2 years.  I will miss the armchair.  Though I seldom sat in it,...

Well, preparations are in gear for the surgery.  There are notes on the refrigerator reminding me of the day, what meds I can't take, and an appointment for pre-registration at the hospital.  Have...

Ordered a walker from Walmart.  Think I got a good deal.  The walker and basket cost a little over $50 with shipping.  Should be here by Friday.  Started taking the left over pain pills and...

Went shopping today.  Need a walker for my surgery.  Went to all 3 Walmarts in the area.  All they had were fancy high priced models with features I don't need like a seat(like a seat that...

Well, it's surgery.  Have to wait till the 25th so I'll be off work longer.  Luckily, Vickie will be able to come down to drive me home.  Even though it's out-patient, the sedative, like with...

  I'm going over the edge.  The pain is bringing my brain down with it.  I broke out in tears this morning just out of frustration.  It even seems Foxy doesn't care any more.  I'm just a...

What's next?  Went to work today and had to come back home.  Broke out into a sweat, started breathing heavy and fast.  Got a little dizzy and very tired. The same thing that happened last Monday...

Went back to work yesterday.  Quite proud of myself.  Was going pretty good till I took my meal break around five.  Then, I got tired.  While I was signing back in, a friend came by and asked if...

I'm going to try again to go to work tomorrow.  I tried Monday, but the pain and exhaustion was so bad I had to come home.  Tuesday wasn't any better.  I've tried to walk as much as possible and...

Couldn't work today.  Went by the doc's office and got a release.  Drove to work.  Was totally exhausted by the time I got to the building, but went in and logged into all the programs on the...

Well, I go back to work tomorrow.  A little worried that I can make it through the whole day.  Have prepared for it today.  Have cleaned my erasable boards, and my drink containers and printed...

The pain pills are working!  Hope they continue.  Can, now, walk a few feet without the canes.  Will be going back to work Monday and will, hopefully, use only one cane to keep the pressure off...

I'll have to wait to see the orthopedist.  The earliest I can get in is May 12th.  Called my regular doc and told him I had to be back at work Monday(My idea.  Can't stand being at home any...

I got the results from the MRI.  There's a meniscus tear.  The meniscus is a pad in the knee.  My doc is setting up an appointment with an orthopedist.  Hope it's a simple fix.
