not starting out good Mood
Monday, June 23, 2008

 Did all that work yesterday was hot and sweaty so had a bath. When I went to get out, of course my left foot as usual was half numb so getting up couldn't tell how much weight or whatever I was putting on it and with the water softener the tub is slipery I fell and smashed my knee and twisted my back some. Sat there cussing and almost tearing up for about five minutes then got out. Knee was really hurting and couldn't get to sleep due to every move hurt it so got back up till I was so tired I knew I'd just drop off and did.

  Got up and knee is a bit better but the stupid thing hurts one step then is okay for a couple then pain stabs again on next step. Doesn't make sense. But am not looking forward to getting on my knees to rewash floor and grout the tiles tonite and I can't put it off either. I need this done as it is driving me crazy with it not being done. I could never be one of those people who turn houses while living in them and renovating....I would kill someone! Everything is supposed to be where it is supposed to be at all times..

  Thats it for today as have been pampering the knee and doing nothing till I have to.

    Take it easy my friend....one thing the work will wait as there are no good housekeeping or repair fairies to complete it for you...lol. I'm still waiting to be well enough to get the new tile on my kitchen floor....that has been a project in the works now for almost 2 years but Dan's replacement shoulder surgery; my back surgery; the recooperation period & now cancer crap & it's still waiting. You are like I am in wanting things necessary to be done yesterday BUT over the last year, given all I've been thru, you sometimes just have to rest on your laurels and realize you nor the project will disintigrate if it waits a bit longer.....YES I EAT A LOT OF ATIVAN AT TIMES...you know my patience ratio....lol. But don't kill yourself or put yourself in a worse position doing it now. Let yourself heal & just think, maybe Zeus could develop a new talent of gloping grout on his coat & rolling across the floor...lol...just kidding. THAT WOULD BE A REAL MESS but a funny visual. HUGS MY FRIEND & REST!

    Damn. You got no choice, you have to rest it. I guess it is blatantly obvious the chore isn't going anywhere, it will wait for you. Get better soon.

    Judi, Ouch! Stay off that knee as long as u can. Elevate ur knee, and take some advil or tylenol for pain, sounds like u might've sprained ur knee, or possible tore a ligament. Just the nurse in me coming out. Hope u feel better soon! tc & hugs,tedi
