I did a lot of pushing, pulling, and climbing yesterday . . .until my knee gave out. I had to rest all afternoon. I was scared to get back on the step ladder.
So I will put on an elastic brace here pretty soon and get to work. We ran around all morning, but that can be another post.
Right now hubby is asleep and I have projects on my mind. I will see you all later. Hopefully none the worse for wear.

It just cut my productive time short as it fells almost like a spasm in the back of my knee.

I have always had occasional trouble, but it has gotten worse since last November. Right now I do not walk enough and that is making it worse.

A warm bath in Epsom Salts is nice too for sour muscles and such.

Yes, it does. I need to put some lavender in it as well.

I had to think about coming down the step ladder. The knee that is week is also one that I lead with on steps.

I took the evening off. I have worn a knee brace most of the weekend.

I sit too much, and that weakens my knees, then I get all inspired to do things, but I cannot.

I think that it's because we forget just how old we have become. I certainly don't feel my age until I start to hurt!!!

I forget to sit right, or take care of myself.

We should have a spa day and just pamper ourselves.

It gets better and if I wear my brace or bandage on it it does not get bad in the firstplace. I need to learn
