Clumsy

I really wish I hadn't twisted my knee. It's been almost a week, and it's still so sore.

Knees heal so slowly because you have to keep using them. I hope it gets better for you quickly.

That's true. My knee gets very stiff if I sit for too long. *hugs* thank you.

ow... feel better soon.

[storyfan]

It actually feels better if I move around a lot. If I sit too long, it gets "stove up," as my MIL would say.

One of the things I'm finding as I make the adjustment from a standing-all-day job to a sitting-all-day job is that my bad knee screams bloody murder at me when I finally get off my arse for the day. Not quite as much as it did for standing on concrete all day, every day, but still. The key, it would seem, is moderation....

Tis fun getting on in years. Really fun.

I shouldn't complain too much, really. One of my friends broke her ankle. She had just quit using her cane when she broke the other. A knee sprain isn't much compared to that kind of grief.

Ow, babe. That sucks.

If only humans could hover.

If I could hover, I'd be awfully happy. I'd be buzzing around all over the place!

It's getting a bit better, I think. The ache is now situation in my calf, probably because of the way I've been walking.

*hugs* Thanks for the vote of support.

Aw dang, I wish you hadn't too. Are you alternating heat and ice and what have you? Maybe just a hubby-administered massage?

*sends you knee-healing vibes*

I'm not doing the cold anymore since it's been a week, but hot water bottles do provide excellent relief. Massage? Well, I had one of the kids rub it for a minute, but he lost interest within seconds. Darn kid.

*glad for knee-healing vibes*
