February 11 - What I'm Thankful for Today

Today was laundry day. I found out it isn't only one knee, but both that are bad from the fall yesterday.
I'm thankful my grandson helped with the laundry today. He didn't do it, but took it down to the basement and brought it up.
I'm thankful for the time I spent with my son and grandson. I watched a game with him and parts of two episodes of The Dark Crystal. I kept dozing off during the game and the episodes.
I'm thankful that when I got home, one of the women maintenance persons was on her way into the building. I asked if she would take my trash to the dumpster, and she was happy to do it as I definitely can't right now. I also asked her if I needed to report the fall to the office. I didn't think of that yesterday. She said she wrote up the incident report.
I'm thankful for the pharmacist at Walgreens. I asked what to do about my knees. He suggested a sleeve for them and ice. The ice worked, the sleeves don't and I'll take them back tomorrow along with a laptop stand I thought would help so I could keep my knees elevated with ice and still get work done. I think there's something missing on it as I couldn't figure out the directions with the stand. The illustrations don't match.
That has been my day and what I'm thankful for. What are you thankful for? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

I'm glad the ice is working just take it easy for a while and don't put too much weight on the knees for now. I had those kinds of problems after my car accident in 1996 and both my knees were injured, it took years for them to start to feel better and I still have a few problems with them to this day but I'm lucky I haven't fallen on them at any time, that really would have been bad.

I'm glad I didn't fall directly on my knees. My feet shot out from under me and I landed on my butt. My knees are bad. Today, I'm feeling it in the hips where I fell. It's going to take a while to heal all these joints.
I'm sorry you were in a car accident and both your knees were injured.

@Courtlynn I'll be in the pool on Monday. I'm healing faster than I expected.

It's going to take a while before the knees and hips, I'm really feeling those this morning, start feeling good. I fell on my butt so it's not surprising my hips are starting to hurt more. I'm thankful I didn't break anything. Good padding.

I don't like hearing about you falling and hurting yourself. Virtual hugs and I hope your knees heal up fast. I am thankful for my Internet working again since it was coming and going, being able to do my work, and feeling all right.

I am thankful that my paycheck from Branded Surveys went into the bank today. In a few days my other check from another site will enter the bank.

I mentioned it on my thankful post for the 10th. I slipped on the ice and fell square on my tush on Monday after the snowplowing. My knees and my hips are in a lot of pain. It will be a while before I get back to the pool. I'm moving mighty slow.

Heat pads don't help your knees?
