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,...

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...
