Hello to all my friends here in the myLot world. It's been almost a week since I was last here and I've missed talking to everyone.
Would you believe that I hurt my knee/leg and have been off my feet and not able to stop in and say hello. Resting seems to have helped but I'm still in pain but as each day goes by I feel a little better.
This is not something I need right now as my mom is coming home today with the physical therapists for a home evaluation. After the evaluation I guess we'll know where we stand and I can only assume that she'll be discharged and coming home soon and I have no idea how I'm going to manage with my knee/leg being hurt.
Guess it will all work out somehow and I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that I get a few more days to rest before the discharge. Otherwise we're in for a rocky ride 
I'm happy that I was able to at least stop in and say hello today and hopefully I'll be able to sit at the computer for longer periods of time as the days go by.
Sending smiles to everyone!

Oh noooo, why does this stuff happen at the worse possible times. I hope you heal fast. I also hope you have a little while before your mom comes home.
That said, it's GOOD to see you!

I hope everything works out for you. The painful knee/leg is inconvenient, I'm sure. I wrenched my ankle two weeks ago. Every time I walk I start out hobbling for a minute until the stiffness eases.

I fully understand your leg and knee pain for I've been going through the same thing. Mine is caused from arthritis and the humid weather this summer seemed to make it worse to the point that it's difficult for me to walk and bend my knee naturally. I've been wearing a tens unit and it seems to be working wonders. I'm also trying to do a bit of exercising of the muscles surrounding the knee which makes a difference too.
Were you able to see a doctor to find out what you can and can't do to help it get back to what you need to be able to care for your mom properly?

Sorry to hear that. Things always seem to happen at the worst possible times. I hope you heal quickly and that you are as good as new in no time. Enjoy your day and keep smiling!

Sorry to hear that you hurt your knee. Maybe they will come up with a 'visiting nurse' program that might help.

I am sorry you are hurt, I wish you well soon. I am glad to hear your mother is doing better.
