Oh boy, that sucks. I hope you get your medical needs attended to. Pain of any kind sucks, but when it limits your mobility, and you have a little one you have to look after, it's really challenging.

That's the thing. If I didn't have Oliver, I could stay completely off my feet all day and sleep when I need to. But I can't, so it is a challenge.

Being a mom is a tough job! Can any of your friends or family help you during the day, or can you hire someone to help with household chores and looking after Oliver, so you can get a break? You don't have to answer, just something to think about, if you haven't already.

Could my family help? yes. Will they help [aside from my bofriend]? probably not. But maybe they'll be more likey to pitch in once they actually know what's wrong with my knee. We'll see.
