Last evening, Thursday.
about midnight.....I finally started to feel better - and I was exhausted, because while I was sick my head and stomach hurt so badly I could not rest, I went from the bed to the bathroom to the couch to the bathroom and then tried to go back to bed over and over again (for 48 hours!)
Finally---blessings, I start to feel really tired and all the pain goes down, or so I think. I lay in bed, curl up next to Randy and my knee was on fire. Why does that only happen when I try to lay down? Someone please explain that to me. I have to be partially weight-bearing - then I am ok. Weird. Anyway...it's after midnight...I am crying by then. "Heavenly Father, I am SO sorry to bother you, but.....(Interject here...why do I always say that...I am sorry to bother you? I mean, when I call my kids or Randy I never apologize. When I would call my beloved Grandma Irene, I would never say,I'm so sorry..." Weird.)
I digress.
"My knee hurts so badly and I am tired. Can you please, please, help me?"
If on the pain rating my head is 5 (most of the time) that is ok. But knee pain at a 9 is awful. I was sorely tempted to use the kitchen table and hack that leg right off. AURGH.
I can take the headache. Not the knee pain. so I am being a baby. I just can't take it.
I went and ate a half a pop-tart (tempting fate?) and took a LORTAB (YUCKY) In about 30 minutes (which felt like 5 hours!!!!) the pain went down. I got into bed at 3 am. Slept 10 hours. Got up....showered (Wowee - a shower feels spectacular after one has been sick!) ate a little....went back to bed and slept two more hours.
Whew. what a week. I have missed all my piano students and everyone else. I was hoping to see one of the Neslen kids this week....Eli to play Legos or Sydney to stitch. I feel like a slacker.
Sunday is a new week. I just know it will be great!!!!!
