Hello, hon. :) I'm not bad, thanks - there's still a lot of pain, but it's more manageable now. My main concern is trying to get the range of motion that's needed. What they aim for is a knee bend of 90 degrees. The physio measured mine at around 80 degrees last week, so I've been working on getting it to bend more, but it's absolutely excruciating, lol. :D I've got to go for some blood tests tomorrow, to make sure I haven't got an infection. The nurse was concerned that my knee felt warm, but everything I've read says that's very common, and can last for up to a year, so I'm not too worried. How are you? I saw on your diary that the doc gave you antibiotics but you're not taking them - naughty girl, lol. ;) xx

Ouch, just thinking about that makes me cringe trying to move a Hurty body part ouchy!
80 degrees is good! Nearly there, I'm sure you can do it, your so strong & determined :)

I'm ok, yeah, coz he didn't seem sure on what it was, there useless at my drs, he was in a rush, it turns out it must of been my toothbrush as within 2 days of stopping using it my tongue is almost better. I really struggle with tablets like that for 2 reasons 1 is im scared of side effects especially being sick & the 2nd is they say you get immune to them so seems silly to take them when I don't need to! Am I nuts? Lol xxx

No, you're not nuts at all - no point taking antibiotics if you don't need them. :) xx

Thank you, hon, I really appreciate you popping by in the midst of all the problems you're having at the moment. :) I do keep working on the knee bend, lol - sometimes it's better than others. My leg's been very achey this morning, but it has been pouring with rain so it may be a bit of rheumatism. Well done on your loss, that's really brilliant! :) xx
