Opps!

I obviously tried writing something yesterday and it didn't work! So what else is new? Yesterday wasn't one of my best days anyway!! I did write something (a couple paragraphs) and must have done something -- anyway it didn't publish. The only thing that published was the title so . . .

Nothing exciting happening anyway. I went to the doctor over my noon hour. I've been having some problems with my left knee. Basically it hurts! Bad enough that when standing up on it I have an awful limp . . . and lots of pain. The front of my knee and the sides. My doctor gave me some strong pain medicine and told me to continue with my Aleve. When I picked up my prescription they told me to be sure and have a small snack or something with the med. It makes you very sleepy and so far I can't say that it's done much with the pain. Walking is a pain!!! Going up and down my steps hasn't helped much either. One more day of work and then I can stay put for a couple of days. Why is it when you have something like this you always have to move all over the office for one thing or another! It's frustrating! If the swelling, etc., doesn't leave I go back next week for x-rays and who knows what!!

My girlfriend Marilyn called late this afternoon. She's been keeping tabs on me. She was in Dubuque at her new home. She took possession yesterday or today. I can't remember which. She'll be back for the weekend. She's going to stay with her sister. I'm hoping to be able to get over to her new condo and check it out. Sounds real nice. She told me she'd love the company and if I can walk, it will do me good too.

Weather sounds lousy for the weekend. I noticed snow on the weather channel for us here. It didn't say how much, but there was definitely snowflakes falling. Guess I better watch the local news tonight and see what's coming!

Time for a pill. Best go take it and watch a little TV and try and get some sleep.

Peace.
