Jello Knees

So far the doctors are right in that I'm more comfortable at home.  I actually slept through the night instead of waking up at 4 a.m. in pain.  My goal today was to take a shower and wash my hair, which I was pleased to be able to accomplish.  I'm trying my best to take as little for pain as possible -- I just don't think it's good for a person's body.  The best part is that there was less of that intense, piercing pain today.

Ed is very strict and is not about to serve me meals in bed.  He does serve me meals but I must do my part and get to the table.  That's good because it can sometimes be easy to let myself fall into the Poor-Little-Me category.

All day I've had this strange sensation that my knees were like jello, as if they would buckle backwards instead of staying straight or forwards.  Our neighbors, Faith and Jonathan Histand, brought some food and stayed for a short visit.  When they left, I stepped onto the porch to show them something.  

When I came back inside -- it happened -- the jello knees went the wrong way and I sat flat onto the floor.  Ed was able to help me up and I wasn't hurt.  Needless to say, I'm not making walking a high priority for now.  What a strange sensation!
