Stupid Knee - Time for Physical Therapy

[dex]

Thanks everyone. Y'all are awesome. Support, encouragement, and advice are always welcome.

I'm trying really, really hard to remind myself to stay patient. It took a looong time for things to get his bad, so it's probably going to take awhile for them to get better. I did find myself getting a little excited about being able to walk down two flights of stairs last night without yelping. (It's possible that it helped that I knew that once I managed those two flights of stairs, I would be rewarded with dinner and martinis. )

Now, if only I could get myself a little more excited to get up at 5:30 in the morning to go to the gym to swim. *sigh* Gin probably isn't an appropriate reward for doing early morning exercise, is it?

Dex- how are your new blue Superfeet treating you?

Don't want to seem stupid, but what's ITB stand for?

Feeling you pain Dex. I have terrible knees. I think I've just gotten used to the constant ache. Bending my knees sounds like gravel. I'm trying to get to the age to be a knee replacement candidate while I'm still able to walk.

Good luck Dex.........I'll be thinking about you.

ITB = iliotibial band.

My likey! Though I'm still getting used to that whole there's-something-in-my-shoe-that's-neither-foot-nor-sock feeling.
