Now my inner knee is really hurting. I put some heat on it and that has helped a little. I feel like crying, not just because of the pain but because of the frustration I feel. I really wanted to go hiking tomorrow and I can't even walk around the house tonight. I was fine most of the day. It started hurting tonight. I haven't really done anything to make it hurt. I did get up and down a lot to let Bayou in and out. Maybe that aggravated it. I took some pain meds. That should help some but it just masks the pain, it doesn't take it away for good.
I forgot to ask the ortho doc for a brace yesterday. I'll call tomorrow and see if I can get one approved. If not, I'll try to get one in town. My leg is so big I don't know that they'll have one in stock but maybe they can order one. If that's the case I could just order one off of Amazon for less I'm sure. If I wasn't so overweight and my legs weren't so huge I could just go to Walgreen's and get a brace but that's not the case. We do have a medical supply place I can call and check with before trying Amazon. I'd like to get one right away though so walking isn't so painful. This stinks.
I'm hoping that if I stay off it for a little while tonight it will feel better. I really think a brace would make a difference. This part of my knee wasn't really bothering me when I saw the doctor yesterday. I don't even know if he's in the office tomorrow. I'm thinking that he's not but I'll call early tomorrow.
My plan to hike tomorrow is probably out of the question now unless this is something that stops hurting by the morning. I just can't imagine why it's hurting so bad right now. It doesn't make any sense.
I've got to not let this get me down though. I'm still going to my WW meeting in the morning. I'm supposed to bring in my tracker printout for Karen to review. I really need the help with being on the plan if I can't work out. I hope she has the time to look at it. I'll be disappointed if she doesn't. Just being honest. I mean, I'll understand because I know how busy she is but I'm really needing the help right now. If she doesn't have time before the meeting maybe she'd have time afterward. I'm not gonna stress about it. It will go the way it's supposed to go. I'll be there at 9:30am anyway.
The pain med (hydrocodone and Tylenol) is making me feel kinda sick. I may have taken 2 doses too close to each other.
I'm bummed because I wanted to make a batch of cookies tonight. Maybe I can do it a little later. Standing doesn't hurt too much just the walking. I'll see how it goes.
