Woke up in the middle of the night and built my new blog,I hope this one works out. The other program seemed to turn off when ever it so deemed it was time irregardless of what me, the typer, wanted. As a result I lost a couple of pages yesterday, Time for a change. I now am using the note pad in my I Pad. -- Due to not watching the time while working this morning I did not get the pain pills down when I should of had them and as a result had wait an additional two hours or their effect would have expired while in PT. I was certainly glad when it came time to take them. == Shortly there after I went to a different class, Occupational Therapy. Very interesting and they gave me several little aids to help me when I go home. Goal is to have it so I can live alone. One is the Grabber, another is the long handle shoe horn with a sock hook to take off the socks. and another is a funny looking thing to put socks on with. I think it will work. Ashley, the lady who runs that department is very nice and it is a lot less strenuous than the pt.-- Speaking of PT, it is almost time. --- Another Dr just came in and is ordering a B-12 test and also some nerve medicine trying to eliminate the pain in my feet. Sure would be nice to fix that without any surgery on the toes. Don't know if you can till, but I am upbeat this morning, and ready to tackle the torture chamber, (PT). --- Did I say I was ready, Did they tell me this gets easier and the pain lessens. Let it suffice that that was not the case for today. Forcing the new knee to bend, got 83 percent to day working toward 90 % and it is not comfortable, anything but. Now let me once again say that it is a trade, I can do this for another couple weeks to have the rest of my life with a working knee. After the pt workout I came back to the room and Red and Marline were waiting to say hello. The brought me a pair of slippers and a nail clipper. We only talked for about 15 minutes when the call for lunch was made. For no more than I ate I should have just stayed with the visit. --- A little rest and then off to the second pt session. Spent twenty minutes with my knee being force into a bend which no longer felt natural. Then some walking, with a cane instead of the walker. And last, forcing the leg straight, it has five degrees to go to make to a straight line, And forcing your leg straight hurt about as bad as trying to bend the knee. -- Supper, hmmm, lasagna with a bread stick and nice looking veggies. I picked up the bread stick and it was laying in garlic butter, and it had soaked the veggies and lasagna. For those of you who do not know, I am allergic to garlic. The oranges were good, drank the milk and picked up a yogurt on the way back to the room. This is going to be a long night, resting my legs as we have the pt again tomorrow, Sunday will be off. Going on 7 and I hope there is nothing else worth writing about tonight, if there is, it will kick off tomorrows segment.
