Hi Everyone

Hi hope you all have had a great weekend......I want to wish those of you that are having surgery tomorrow and the next day and everyday after that good luck with your surgeries and a speedy recovery to you all...you are in my prayers....I am kind of down in the mouth today.....a few days ago I fell down, I have very bad knee's ecspecially my left one and if you can figure it out...I landed right on that knee...the pain has been horrible...I haven't been able to take any of my anti-inflammitories due to me being scheduled for my endoscopy on Tuesday......so I couldn't stand the pain anymore and went to the ER today to figure out what I could take, they take some x-rays and come back and tell me that my knees aren't broke....well DUH...I hobbled in here didn't I???....then the wonderfully smart ER dr tells me that I probably tore the ligaments or tendons that run down the front of the knee but she didn't know for sure cause that doesn't show up on the regular x-ray.......so I say listen here is my list of meds I CAN NOT take because of my procedure on Tuesday please tell me what I can and I will be out of here...she gives me tylenol 3 w/ codeine...well it has taken the edge off the pain but making me sick to my stomach.....I ate with them and everything...oh well...THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!!...what a clutz I am I swear......I just hate myself when I do stupid things......well thanks for listening or should I say reading and thank you for letting me vent...I am sure this little depression is do to the pain pills....well off to bed and then wait tomorrow for them to call and tell me how long I have to suffer without eatting and drinking till my Upper GI and Endoscopy on Tuesday...gee I hope I am first at 7:30...night everyone... April

sorry you're going through knee pain - but the endoscopy is no sweat - im been having some abdominal pain myself and had to have that done - right now im having some pain - aaah...luckily i see my surgeon tomorrow.good luck with everything!

Gee Sweetie- I am sorry about your knee. I hope you feel better soon. I know what you mean about the tylenol 3, it makes me really sick too. I think I would rather be in pain. I hope all goes well with your tests on Tuesday. Red

Hi April...I to have bad knees...osteo-arthritis in both due to an accident MANY years ago...both knees are degenerative. I have been doing great with the knees since hitting Florida, but between yesterday and today my left (which is the worse of the 2 also has been really acting up.) I think I over did it...got a LOT done in the past two days. Maybe some of it is with the weather too??? I hope you are feeling better. I find that when I ache like this, I put a pillow under my knees and lay down. Feels better with the support under them...at least I can fall asleep comfortably then! lol Well, have a good night and good luck on your test! Laurie P Pensacola

Sorry to hear that you're feeling ill --hope you feel better soon! Will be prayin' that you get better soon and that your test in the morning goes well! God Bless, ~Roiann
