Today was a high pain day, and not, surprisingly, from the incision site. It's my knee. It is killing me so much that I gave in and took a hydrocodone, but it really isn't helping much yet. Or at all. It's also kind of swollen on the inside and underneath is massively swollen. I have not been doing anything that could have tweaked it. In fact I did absolutely nothing today, but make a quick run to the store for cabbage and potatoes (and used the ride on cart) and go to my massage appointment. I was fine until like 3 p.m. and then nasty burning pain out of nowhere. I was in bed because I was wiped out (anything can wipe me out these days) doing nothing but reading and it just caught on fire. Then it eased off around five so I could make dinner for the kids and then as soon as I finished eating, sharp, stabbing pain. The last MRI was in January and it was clean, so I don't know what is going on.
I've got ice on it now and will call the doctor in the morning if it is still swollen. I don't particularly want a cortizone shot because the last one felt like it did more harm than good, but if he could just take the fluid out I'd be happy with that.
I couldn't concentrate on anything after taking the hydrocodone, so no writing. Not that I was getting anywhere anyway. I can at least read and have been making my way rapidly through Ice Cold. I love big print novels. They make it so much easier.
I accidentally played with a troll at SA yesterday. I didn't realize it was a troll until afterwards. I am so used to that site being full of people that disagree nicely with each other it didn't even occur to me that this was an entirely different sort of person (the type that goes batsh*t insane in replying to her comments if people casually point out their own life experiences that prove why they think what she is saying is wrong. It also lacked common sense, though no one pointed that out). She managed to nastily insult no less than fifteen people in twelve hours, not just on her blog, but she individually went to every blogger that responded to her in polite disagreement and left comments on all their blogs. She ended up getting kicked off the blogs for violating the family friendly clause. Then came back under another name but we all knew who it was so no one is paying attention now. As it should be.
After last night's insomnia I just want to sleep for a week. I am so tired of being so tired all the time. I feel like I did absolutely nothing productive today except feed people. And make the kids do laundry.
