I knew it wouldn’t last forever.
I should have known it wouldn’t last forever. A few days ago my knee started hurting. And not just “eh, it’s sore” hurting…like, agonizing hurt. I have struggling to go up and down stairs, and I’m living on a steady stream of Aleve and Excedrin. I went to the orthopedic doctor today and he was like, “Look…I know you don’t want surgery, but it’s time.” And so…surgery it is.
I did manage to get a reprieve until after Hawaii. I refuse to be all stitched up for our anniversary trip, and if I take it easy, I should be able to keep the pain at bay until then. After that though…it’s on. Thankfully, it’s a super easy procedure, outpatient, and I’ll be walking that night. It’s not a big deal, but I really didn’t want to go through it again (I had knee surgery on the other knee done when I was 18…same procedure). I’ll probably take a few days off work (or better yet, have it done on a Friday so that I’m back in work on Monday), but otherwise, I’m good to go. Just frustrating. I wish I had good joints, that I was able to do the same things other people are doing my age. Damn body.
Hope you all are having a better day than me!
XOXOXO,
K.
