| Handsome - Pre-Concert |
Well, I didn't make it to his concert last night, but I did get a photograph of him before he left for the venue. This was his second-to-last concert of the season, and then he'll be off until this fall (or later, if he decides to go to Florida to play for part of the winter).
He told me his last concert is next week, and I promised I'll be there, come hell or high water. I don't want to miss him playing on the kit which he'll be doing again for that one. He's playing in a separate Dixieland band which will be out front and center that night. I'll definitely be there as his biggest fan.
Me? I stayed home with my knee on ice. I called the doctor's office yesterday and talked with them about the swelling. His nurse reminded me that it's only three weeks. sigh I also got a refill of two prescriptions, and told that I can alternate Tylenol with the other painkiller as long as I stay under 3,000 mgs. I'm way under that, but I'm not going to be silly about not taking it either - which I've been trying not to do. She reminded me it's a good thing to stay ahead of the pain, and I'm not driving anyway so, there's that.
Physical therapy again this morning, and I'll also discuss the swelling with Jenna to see how we can best achieve our goals and minimize the discomfort afterward. As a special treat, I'm going somewhere special with Handsome today, too. I'll tell you about that tomorrow. I'll let you know how PT goes, too. Gotta run!
I so hope you can make it to Handsome's next concert.
ReplyDeleteGood luck at therapy today.
Keep icing!

I'm sorry you missed the concert but I think you made the right choice (and I suspect your Handsome was relieved as well). I hope your PT person will have good suggestions to alleviate some of the pain and swelling. I would also, if you can, discuss with her what exercises you can do prior to having the other knee done that will help strengthen the area before the surgery. I've heard that it's a good thing to do and will help with after-surgery recovery. Just a thought!
ReplyDeleteSherryofcreateology: I know you made the right decision. I pray you will be able to attend Handsome’s concert next week. The swelling makes the pain hurt worse. Thank goodness you have the ice machine. Definitely take your pain meds as they will help you keep your worrying mind off the pain. You are strong and you won’t get addicted. Prayers for your Healing my friend.
ReplyDeleteAwww, I'm sorry you had to miss the concert, but I echo the previous comments...wise choice. Prayerfully next week will yield much better results. But...patience, patience, patience. Now, that's a hard muscle to exercise! 😉 I'm hoping your time at PT today is good and gives you a sense of peace about the swelling... and that you have an amazing "special treat" with Handsome 😊❤️...have a lovely weekend!
