So last night Chaz was having trouble sleeping, so he was up reading in the living room until very late while I was sleeping. Mac appreciated having a human awake, so he sang his enjoyment around the house a couple of times. About the time Chaz got to sleep I got up to use the bathroom. My left knee (the one I had surgery on years ago) hurt worse than usual, and I had trouble walking to the bathroom. I decided to stay up a little bit myself and see if the pain would lessen (helped by Ibuprofen and Baclofen). Once my knee felt better (and I'd killed off a few WoW creatures) I headed back to bed. And fell over after two steps.

Yup, my left knee has decided that walking on it is just not happening. Chaz brought my walker inside, and I need it for any step that involves my left leg. I can drive just fine, but the left knee is really wobbly, and the muscles around it just not able to support me. I think this is much more knee than MS, though the MS I'm sure is piling right on. I'm standing and stretching periodically at my desk, and I think it will be fine fairly soon, but still. We had to miss a friend's 50th birthday party today, which disappoints me quite a bit. Fortunately we don't have anything scheduled for tomorrow, so I can continue to rest and stretch. But damn, I want a body that works.

Ugh that sucks. I hope it knocks it off soon.

Damn! I hope the knee will wake up and do its job!

Knee! Staaaaahp. You can't retire yet. You're much too young.

What a pain, for sure. I'm sorry to hear this.

I hope your knee gets its shit together soon.

Dammit! Why do our bodies fail us? I hope things get better soon. Maybe you can schedule a lunch with your fifty-year-old buddy this week and celebrate on a less active scale?
