The Moonshiner's Leghorns

Yes, very close to being bone on bone, but not all the way across. Healthy bone is very strong, it's what the ancients used to chip stone into sharp tools. So the stronger bone of my upper leg (I'm assuming) is crushing or chipping away bits of the more porous bone of my lower leg bones. Although the damage is barely visible in diagnostic images, it's very painful and making me quite miserable.
I can understand that it's painful, as my husband is at the point where he has none left on his. He didn't want an operation with fake knee stuff, so that is why he chose the alternative of having the nerves burn instead. It's his body, so it's his choice to decide how he want's to deal with it.
 
Moony, Your expertise is needed in the Question of The Day "Is a Hot Dog A Sandwich?" thread. The debate's getting UGLY!

OMG, how is this so debatable?
 
No surgery, thanks! Not yet anyway. I'll be getting several weeks of in-home PT though. And they gave me an immobilizer. I think I'm supposed to stay off of it. 🙄
Oh sorry, my bad. My brain read knee surgery somewhere. I take care of a lot of post-op knee patients and they get them up and moving like the next day. lol

But yes, definitely rest if it's injured.

Thanks I will. No worries!

I work nightshift and have been doing OT, so my brain autopilots a lot when I'm very tired. I go into autopilot during routine tasks, and even during my drive home. Apparently I do it when I'm reading too, like when I thought I read you had "knee surgery" but my brain just made it up while it was on autopilot I guess.

The other day, I wanted a drink. So autopilot kicked in, and I found myself in the bathroom by the sink instead of in the kitchen by the refrigerator. I stood there contemplating what in the world I was in the bathroom for, then remembered I wanted a drink. 😵‍💫
