so, to fit with the ups and downs: yesterday i did very well. in fact, i went 7 hours between taking my pain pills, instead of the 4 that i'd been doing before. yay me.
also, david and i went to the mall, my first time *out* since the surgery. we had to get presents for people we're seeing today. despirte being physically exhausted crutching around, my knee behaved VERY well.
however, in the middle of the night, it hurt a lot and i had to take an extra pain pill. and another this morning and david had to change the ice. after about an hour of intense pain, the ice and meds worked and i'm fine now. fine enough to finally check email (i didn't check all day yesterday) and post.
but dear god, i'm SO BEHIND on reading about everyone else's lives. i'm beginning to wonder if i'll ever catch up... i can't sit at the desk for more than 15 minutes at a time.
david's out searching for a part for my ancient, fucked up laptop. then i could connect to the DSL and be online while in bed or reclining. the part doesn't exisit anymore in mainstream stores, but he's going to a used computer parts store to see if they might have something. cross your fingers.
i get a shower today!!! my hair is feeling so yucky. aaah, the simple pleasures. :)
