So the verdict on my knee, revealed by the MRI, is that it’s broken, and generally F’d up. Insufficiency fracture – a type of stress fracture; meniscus tears; arthritis; deteriorated cartilage; and some kind of cyst where the knee lube fluid is draining to. The results showed up in my MyChart Thursday evening while I … [Read more…]
The saga of my knee continues. I think I told you that the last time I went to PT, the therapist confirmed that the orthotics (prescribed by the 1st PT who was a maternity leave fill-in) didn’t seem to be helping, and I should send them back to get adjusted, and stop wearing them until … [Read more…]
Another day to hibernate – or so I hoped. I went to bed at 10:30 and kind of read and dozed until 11:00, then gave up and took my glasses off. I slept until 1:30, woke up parched and thirsty. I’m still kind of stuffy from my cold, and getting really dried out in the … [Read more…]
Well, let’s make that the last day of 2022; I started this the 30th and didn’t get very far. My plan was that me and my bum knee would accompany Mark on his walk – that went OK, 4.5 miles. I walked sans orthotics, since I have not been wearing them for about the last … [Read more…]
I have a cold and there’s been a Covid outbreak on my daughter-in-law’s sister’s side of the family, so we’ve all been spending Christmas NOT getting together. Whatever we’ve got it’s keeping us away from dat baby. For Christmas Eve, Mark and I had homemade pizza and watched Love Actually and the Christmas Ted Lasso … [Read more…]
Yesterday we passed a milestone of cookie season. All the leftover cookies have been transferred into smaller containers and they’re in the fridges. I also finished grading yesterday afternoon, although I did have to go back in and change a bunch of grades this morning because I forgot to add points for a lurking assignment, … [Read more…]

And it’s only Tuesday (ha, now finishing this post the following Saturday – so Jasper is now one week old!) so we can still talk about it, right? On Saturday I became a grandma. Jasper Gray Lusis arrived for Al & Emma at 1:35 am. And cookie season officially started since I baked the … [Read more…]
Well sorta. Trying. The knee is better but still stiff. It still gives the unexpected sharp pain and I’m not moving with the greatest assurance – I’m afraid it will hurt so I’m kinda awkward when I get going. I am on what seems to be strengthening exercises rather than stretching which must be a … [Read more…]
My knee was doing so well – I had had a few days with really no pain at all. On the 7th, I got the OK to walk for longer than 15 minutes, and the physical therapist suggested I get some over the counter (OTC) orthotics since my custom ones don’t come till November 2 … [Read more…]
