One more Day of My 1st Week Back to Work

Aug 05, 2011

Today is my day off, I have to work tomorrow (Sat.) and I don't think I could have made it to work today so it's a good thing I didn't have to try. My knees are so bad I can barely walk and of course my job is to stand all day long. The biggest problem is I can't wear my brace anymore. Even though both my knees are bad it started with the left one and I was fitted for a special brace which helped me get through days at work tremendously. Now, it's too big for me, so now both knees are just so painful all day and when I get home it's ice on them, as they look like grapefruits.  For now I'm back on Tramadol but honestly it doesn't help that much. I keep wondering if by being on my knees all the time now if the damage continues to get worse.  Anyway, I can't wait to get a paycheck after 5 weeks without one, I'm going straight to the fitness center so I can join and swim for exercise. Sure hope that will help me. Still struggling to get my protein and liquids each day,don't know why it's so hard.
