Up and moving after the worst night that I have had. Wish I knew why. I layed down early with the intentions of enjoying the Monday night football game. I watched it, but I didn't enjoy the game. A solid ache in the knee and then every few minutes a shooting pain up the side, if I moved at all the shooting pains where really bad. Took two pain pills but it didn't seem to make any difference. Midnight came and I hadn't slept hardly any, got up and took another dose of the pain pills. Repeated again at 4 am. At 4 I raised the head of my bed up so that I could not roll over and that was the best I slept all night. Woke up at 8 am exactly where I dosed off, not moving the leg caused the shooting pains to back off. -- Now that I am up, do I give the leg a day off, or do I push it a little farther, I really do not know which to do??. --- After breakfast I decided to head to Walmart. I lucked out with a handicap parking spot up front. Then I walked all through the store. And up and down most of the rows. I bought a couple more pair of shorts and a package of pocket t shirts. Then over to the pharmacy area and bought two ice packs, the re-freezable kind. Now clear back across the store to get some coke zero and a quart of chocolate milk. By the time I got checked out it was lunch time, loot into the truck and through the drive through at Arby's. Two of the $1.00 baby sandwiches and a small chocolate shake. I headed home and unloaded the truck, putting the groceries away and the cold packs in the freezer before eating. Fell asleep in my chair for a short nap after eating lunch. Up again and out for the afternoon walk. Up past the post office and a trip through the rec hall to shoot one rack of pool balls off of the table. Then on to the house and by this time my ice pack was frozen so, back to the chair and a full twenty minutes with the ice pack. -- Red came over for a while and helped me get a gift out of the shed, now to figure out how I am going to wrap the big box. I did pick up gift wrapping while at Walmart. Shortly after Red left it was supper time and I fixed a bowl of chicken noodle home style, had some crackers and a little bowl of jello, (which I fixed last evening). -- Once again I am going to retire early, watch a basketball game and when I get ready to go to sleep I am going to take to pain pills and set my bek in the "close to sitting position". So, I shall end this day by saying, although a horrible start, it has turned out to be a pretty good day. Till Tomorrow.
