The Bees Knees? Hardly...

I had a decent day yesterday. Apart from the mundane tasks of paying bills, getting food in and grabbing an extra lesson with my Hebrew instructor, whom I find a dear and patient person, I was at least somewhat optimistic that the latest round of right knee injections might eventually mean less pain.

Unfortunately, I do have tears and bouts of bursitis and other "itises" afoot in there, and I am not a candidate for knee replacement. Ever. I also hyperextend the knee when not braced, because my ACL, though intact, is so stretched out it can't work properly any longer.

I got up this morning and the outer and top areas of my right knee hurt so badly that I could barely walk; I am now sitting with an ice bag, having called the doctor, the orthotist and making an appointment with an orthopaedic specialist. No outings for me this day. I will be off the Blog for a while as well.

Until Next Time...
