Did you have your knee treatments?

From yesterday.....

I now have Hydrocodone with Acetaminophin.

It was not fun...first a shot of novocaine. Long needle, hit a nerve (the other knee, too). Then a really long needle with the stuff in it. First needle in the right was to drain off the water, then the novocaine needle, then the stuff needle. OUCHY!!!

Both knees are wrapped and bending the legs to get in and out of the car was difficult. (Took the wrappings off after a couple hours.)

I suspect I will use the meds at least at bedtime. (I only took ibuprofen.

I go back in 6 weeks.

Left is feeling better today. Right is pretty sore at the injection point.

Now that sounds really painful, Kathy.

Praying for you and wishing you a speedy recovery.

Prayers that the pain and swelling in your knees are healed soon. This has to be very difficult for an active person like yourself!

I know those needles must have been hellish! Ouch!
