Hello all. Another long day in my life which has been so strange as of late that it feels as if it is someone else's life. Chronic knee pain that is stuck or moving glacially slowly has become the unfortunate center of my life. I am having to redefine many things- just a little while ago I was an active busy person- who knew how busy- and now it is quite different. 

Today I went to Boaz for acupuncture. Unfortunately I parked half a block away and that and three flights of steps were too much for my knees even with the needles in.  So I come home and ice and try to stay off my feet which has to be watched or I get constipated. My kids are home for vacation and I am sad that I can't go out with them. 

My family has been wonderful, thank god I have them.

just pray that the crunching and the compression in my knee joints can get better a little bit every day even if I can't see it; that my bladder will hold, that I will learn through this to be less of a stress case so that I don't have to continue to manifest illness in different parts of my body.

Holding on. Exhausted.

thanks. B
