| Oh God, what a long, miserable trip this has been... since my injury on May 27th where I blew out my knee on the trampoline!!! I just had reconstructive surgery on the July 9th and now have a brand new pain scale . It is not my character to whine and complain, but oooooh, the pain! End result after MUCH pain and nausia.....my knee still won't bend. The doctor wants to have me admitted to the hospital for a few days for physical therapy. The reason for this is to have an epidural (a shot in the spine) to dumb the leg and force it to bend. At this point in time, I am ALL for it . Today is my first day that I am up to getting on here and trying to catch up. Little Mokah has been so wonderful and loves to sit with me for such long periods of time. How sweet of a 6 month old Yorkie ! The rest come and go as they please, but she stays and has been such a comfort. |

| Aww I'm so sorry that you're in so much pain. It does sound like some PT is in order. Constant pain is no fun and not fair. Your baby sounds sweet. She knows mommy doesn't feel good and she wants to keep an eye on you.

| I'm sorry to hear about your pain. My husband had knee surgery, and he was in a lot of pain too, but it does get better. Isn't it wonderful how are babies stay with us through thick and thin. |

| Thank you for all your words of encouragement! I loved the Gumby comment ! I have been going to PT before and after surgery. The last time I went was Monday when Ken tried so hard to bend my knee that something CRACKED in there ! The doc took x-rays yesterday to make sure nothing major happened. All looked well to him. That last PT caused me pain until this morning regardless of the meds. You aksed about Mokah, she is fantastic and has helped me so much! Here are some pretty recent pictures of her.... |

| Oh My, I hope your hospitalization and physical therapy while there help you a lot. Thanks so much for taking the time to post those pictures of your sweet Mokha. Just looking at her is "good therapy" for your soul anyway.

| I sure hope the epidural and PT relieves your pain. My MIL had surgery on both knees several years ago and I remember how much pain she was in. Wish you a speedy recovery.

| August 1st Thank you everyone! I went to the doctor's today and am scheduled to go into the hospital August 1st for the epidural and forced bending . A lot of things can go wrong....please pray for me as I am more scared than I want to let my family know. Thank you so much for your support, it means so much to me. |
