Things are ok here. I went to the doc this morning cuz my left knee has been bothering me on and off for a month. It got quite a bit worse Saturday after I finished building Andrew's bed and didn't subside yesterday. I took 3 ibuprofen yesterday morning. It didn't even make a dent in the pain.

They figure I have tendinitis in the tendon just below my kneecap. Hurts like a SOB to get out of a chair without pushing myself up. Ice, stretching and a brace (yippee..). Oh well .. could be worse. Hopefully this takes care of it. Katie had knee surgery a while back and I don't feel like going through that myself.
Well, that sucks. Hope it gets better without surgery.

Troy, it's doing pretty good. It gets sore pretty easy now, and tightens up if I don't stretch in the morning. But the major pain and swelling I had before is gone at least.

Thanks for asking!

Well it sounds like it is manageable at least and hopefully continues to improve.
