I've been released by my doctor.  He said he's very happy with my progress.  And with pretty good reason.  Four weeks ago when I saw him, I had to use a walker.  This time, I used a cane.  I...

It's amazing what can happen when you're not thinking.  Early this morning I let Foxy out to do her thing in the back yard.  As usual I stood on the top step at the door leaning on my cane.  She'd...

The signs were there this week.  Monday was the last day I used the walker at work.  The rest of the week I used a cane.  Went off all pain medication including ibuprofin Thursday.  It still...

Things went pretty fast Saturday.  First, I got a call from Vickie saying she was just outside of town on her way to help me move furniture.  Told her I didn't know she was coming and she told me...

It's a sad time at the call center.  Things are winding down in preparation for closing.  You can't help thinking about the people that worked there.  At it's height, there were 400 people in the...

Well, I've made three full shifts and 2/3 of another so far this week.  But, wouldn't you know it, I came back and we've had back to back calls all day.  First, another call center got flooded...

Made it to work 3 days this week.  Spent 5 hours Tuesday just trying to learn the changes I missed while I was gone.  Wednesday was spent off work trying to work out my leave of absence...

The stitches came out today.  No big deal, but the doctor went over the surgery photos with me.  It was, indeed, worse than he thought.  First, the ragged edge I'd identified as the torn meniscus,...

It's official.  Now it can be told.  The call center where I work is closing down.  It's not a big surprise.  There had been rumors for about a year now and signs.  Hiring had stopped. ...

I hate using this space for venting, but I have no one else to talk to.  I live alone and have no relatives or friends nearby.  I've gone through MRSA, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, and now, knee...

Tried to go to work today, but couldn't go in.  Have developed another pain that's kinda bad.  It's on the outside of the knee.  Guess it should have been expected since that's were the meniscus...

Sleep!  Oh glorious sleep!  Slept good last night.  The combination of the pain pills and ibuprofen is helping a lot.(I take 4 ibuprofen 3 times a day and 1 pain pill every 4 hours.)  Still have...

It's been a long day,,,a day that started at three Tuesday morning and hasn't ended yet.  Seems even longer since I got only four hours' sleep Monday night.  The surgery went well.  Found out I'd...

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,...
