So glad the knee is letting up some. I love tacos.

Good news. Sometimes you just have to take a break.

Thanks Morticia and Kat. I had planned on making a salad today but since I left the doctor's office at lunchtime and Jimboy's was so close I decided iced on tacos. The knee is hurting a little now but I still feel good knowing my doctor said it is healing. Although he said it will probably be at least another 5 weeks or so. I'll figure out how much I can do

I'm so happy you got in to see the Dr, it really helps to have reassurance even if it's not fixed. sending hugs 🌻

That's good news that your doctor thinks your knee is healing. When you feel up to it, you might want to incorporate some exercises into your day to strengthen the muscles in your legs that, in turn, help the knees. My routine at the gym includes Calf lifts & leg raises (lying on my back). I sometimes had some pain in my knees when walking & these do seem to have helped. Just Google exercises to help knees.

Thanks Diana and JC, even though I know I have some healing to do at least my doctor was sure I wouldn't need surgery and probably not even physical therapy. I know quite a few people who have had knee replacement surgery including my brother in law and my next door neighbor! My house sitter is waiting for the procedure. So I was really getting scared.

Thanks Sherry, the exercises sound like a good idea. My exercise of choice is walking in my neighborhood which is full of hills. Once the weather cooled down I started with walks from 2-5 miles. After about 4 days I woke up with the knee pain. Can't (won't) believe that walking caused the problem.

i FEEL for you. i have chronic pain, too, and it really throws a wrench into your diet & exercise routine.

Thanks Abdominal, I'll either get used to the pain and not notice it so much or, hopefully, ill heal with rest.
