Thinking out loud!

A few things on my mind, Acai Berry anybody tried it and does it work?
I had to get a corticosteroid injection in my knee today, lets hope that it lasts for the 3 months that it's suppose to. Down the line in the future, I'm facing a possible knee replacement.
Quaker chewy dark chocolate cherry granola bars are the shit!!!!

ouch! i work with a lady who is probably only 50. She had serious knee problems. They gave her a shot like that at first, but I don't think it lasted as long as it was suppose to. =/ they said she needed a knee replacement, but wouldn't give her one because she was too young. They ended up having to do surgery on her knee cause she had a spur in there and some torn ligaments and cartilage. She has awful arthritis in it too. They told her the earliest they did knee replacements was 70, because they only last for 10 years.

Yeah, the doctor told me I was to young for a knee replacement as well.
This is my first corticosteroid injection, so hopefully it will buy me some time!
There is also other pain medications I can try as well. I have arthritis, bone spurs, and all that other fun stuff too!

my dad had a knee replacement. he's in his 70's , he may have gotten one in his early 70's or mid - late 60's but it didn't do much for him. he walks with a limp and can't stand being on his feet for more than 10 minutes. i keep hearing about acai-berry...dont know anything about it though. i LOVE dark chocolate!

It really sucks being in my 40's and having the knees of an 80 year old!
But I don't let it get me down, there are people who are a lot worse off than I am!
I bought a bottle of acai berry, I guess I'll give it a try!
I'm not real big on dark chocolate, but those granola bars are really good!
