Well truly that’s how I feel..with my options for comfort being limited to being on my butt in the recliner or flat on my back (yuk yuk yuk ) on the bed.
And my butt is complaining. Can only spend a very short time sitting at the computer, I do have a lap top in the lounge but I’m just not in to laptops lol.
And I can’t go jump in my car and drive down the street, as I still have too much pain on movement. I am doing some passive exercises that will hopefully allow me to drive on Thursday.
Ok I’ve had my whinge. The results from the surgeon were good, it was what he thought a medial meniscus tear and he also found a piece of cartilage floating around..so he scrapped the tear and removed the floating cartilage.
He gave me a sheet of colour photos of the inside of my knee, showing me the floating bit and the tear…seeing the photos made me feel a bit squirmy – and I was like wowed at the same time.
I start physio Thursday and I have to stay home from work till I go back to see him on 27/4, hoping he lets me go back then.
I noticed late yesterday I was feeling really down and sooky. Have stopped taking the prescription meds and this afternoon I have noticed my inner being is feeling better.
Thank god the weather here has turned a tad cooler with a nice coolish breeze during the day, saving me from having to turn the air con on.
Stitching little bits, and flicking through magazines has been filling in some time. Oh yes and I have been sleeping-sleeping-sleeping as I am a big believer of the body healing itself during rest.
Ok enough of my rambles for today.
Thank you all for your kind wishes.
Cheers Vickie

Oh Vickie - awful when you feel the pits...
I hope it does not go to much longer - especially the pain...
Best wishes for a speedy recovery. You'll be back on your feet soon I'm sure.
Hopefully the pain you are having is because the surgeon fixed your knee
As I told you I got over my arthriscope well but my knee wasnt fixed
Full of arthritis
Always someone worse off though
Take care my friend and keep getting all the sleep you can
You will be off that butt in no time
Oh Vickie, (((hugs)))! Hang in there... hopefully you will be able to get up and about soon. I know what it is like to be grounded and not be allowed to do anything... suddenly there are 101 things you want to do!
Whinge as much as you want to :)
lv,
Joy
Good luck for tomorrow Vickie! Tracee xx
So sorry you are so miserable - it's especially hard when a young, energetic person has to be so restricted. Hope everything gets much better very soon.
Helllo Vickie,
I hope I didn't disturb you from your little nap.
Get better quickly.
Happy days.

Cheers to you Vicki..may you feel better soon. Isn't it always the way...when you are at work, you'd give anything to have a few days at home, and then when you have something like you have, well you'd rather be back at work. lol. Hope the black dog days are gone and the knee gets more comfortable, and you can give your poor butt a rest.
Hugs Gloria
