My right knee seems to be doing well following the arthroscopic procedure I had on Wednesday. I can’t take the dressings off for another thirty hours or so, but the pain is minimal.
The white compression knee-high hosiery is so not chic, but will be my constant fashion accessory until the follow up appointment on the 14th of December. I will wear it faithfully for I fear blood clots like some people fear spiders and snakes. And I don’t know why. I think maybe a distant relative died due to one (a blood clot, not a snake; although, that might’ve happened, as well), and the fear infected me in my youth.
I attempted to write yesterday, but the knee literally got in the way, sitting there like a smug, fat lump just beyond the edge of my computer. So I gave up and watched Hallmark Christmas movies, then dozed to images of square-jawed, flannel wearing men selling Christmas trees. Today, I’ll give it another go.
Peace, people!
Glad you’re doing okay xxxxxx

Thank you! Once I ditched the pain meds I felt so much better. Those things made me feel horrible.

For sure! Honestly, those pills make me feel so rotten I wonder how anyone ever takes enough to become addicted.

Thank you! I’m not used to being idle. It’s driving me nuts. But, I think the knee is going to be just fine.

Glad things went well! While recuperating you have time to decide on a second use for that lovely compression sock after it’s off your leg. How about a Christmas stocking over the fire, ready for Santa to fill up?

That’d be a great use, except they’re toeless…

Oh, that’s right! I completely forgot about the no toes feature. Silly me- not too good for holding much at all 😦

With things like this, I would always listen to the Doctors. So if the Doctor says keep it on till the 14th, keep it on!
