Here I Go Again

As some of you know, I injured my knee and had surgery last year.  It took a long time to recover and I still am not able to stand or walk for long periods of time.  A few weeks ago, I experienced pain in the other knee that never quite went away.  Last week, as I started up the stairs to go to bed, that same knee popped and I couldn't walk.  Thank goodness for sofa beds and crutches!

It turns out I probably tore something, but the arthritis is so bad in that knee that repairing the tear wouldn't help.  The bottom line is that I need a knee replacement in both knees.  In the meantime though, I got a cortisone shot in the knee and it feels pretty wonderful!  I'll be getting a different kind of shot in the other knee in a few weeks and maybe I won't have to have the surgery for a few months.  Here's hoping anyway!

I'm sorry for being so absent and not visiting all the wonderful blogs I follow.  I'm hoping to get caught up with you soon.

Have a fabulous Friday!
