Granny's gone and done it again

I turned wrong on my knee..almost to my car..so close! Man, the worst I've had. I'm just hoping the gel shot hasn't kicked in yet and soon will. Legs up for now.
Yeah, it's a unique pain for sure. For me best described as slowly pulling a big scab off of your knee. Just makes you want to cry. After feeling great all day I went out to feed the chickens, reached up, can't even remember what I was reaching for, but I turned my hand and the pain on one side of my biceps where it was repaired was just searing. Didn't last long blessedly, I came in, grabbed an ice pack and immediately iced my shoulder down which helped a lot.

I've never been a big believer in ice as a pain controller but this surgery has turned me into one, at least for my shoulder. Maybe try it on your knee? That and or Voltarin cream.

Hope the knees settle down for you. We do pay a price for our dedication to the nursing arts. Bad knees, bad hips, bad backs, weaken shoulders and oh, don't forget, the ever underestimated 'nurse's bladder'. Like my parents urologist said to me once, 'I'd see a lot fewer nurses having problems with drippling if you would just learn to go pee when you have to'.

Yeah, like who has the time to do that on a busy shift?
 
How you feeling today, Grannyboots?
Not too bad right now. Housekeeper was here. She made fried spam and pancakes. you?

Did you go down? Is it getting to be time for a cane or??? I hope you heal quickly
