I just caught up with your knee woes and what a rotten situation! I had sever problems with my knee a few years ago and while the arthritis is still very much there, the inflammation and swelling/bursitis was really helped and resolved by acupuncture.
I wish you speedy healing. I'm sorry you're having to suffer through this.

I should have thought about acupuncture. I'll ask my friend Ellen who she goes to.
Most of the suffering is because I have to sit still. ;)

When are you leaving for Tahiti? ;)

My knees suck, too. Bah, humbug.

I might consider New Zealand.... ;)

What is it with knees?? Mine have been marginal since I was 16.

Bandi and I were both in the military, and knees go fast in the military. What in your past affected you knee?

When I was 16 a piece of bone about the size of a dime died in my right femur, just behind the knee cartilage. Dr did a successful bone graft. No PT, poor followup led to chronic irritation in that knee for years. Also, for many years swelling of then bursa inside the knee, both sides, apparently in conjunction with allergies. No known reason.

I hope you heal quickly and soon.

Thank You.
I'm a bit better today. :)

I'm better today... Very exciting to be able to use my eyes again!
And I ONLY weed while sitting down! Sadly no weeding today, too cold and windy.
Spent a good deal of today in my big chair using the computer, but not my leg. Got caught up on lots of paperwork, which is good.

Gee, I'm sorry about your knee and that you can't work. Just as well for worker's compo.

That must be frustrating not to be able to do anything much. And bronchitis and conjunctivitis in both eyes? Your body is telling you it is time to rest. That trip to Tahiti and two swims a day sounds like a wonderful dream!
