You just never know....

Well, the Mars/Moon things was a hoax! I should have researched that thing before I posted, huh?!
I went to the doctor about my leg, and while at the office I stepped up to get onto the examination table, and something exploded behind my knee.
I screamed with the pain, and sobbed. My husband caught me before I fell, and the nurse ran to get me a pillow to support my leg. When the doctor came in, I was sobbing with pain. He said when I had the TIA and fell, I twisted my leg, which pulled the hamstring, all the ligaments, and tendons surrounding my left knee. The pain has been excruiating...and that's putting it mildly. I've been on pain pills three times a day, and mostly in my recliner (or in bed with the heating pad). I want to be here in the living room so I can be with the girls. School has started, and I want to be involved with their homework, and the school chatter. The pain is much better in my leg now, but it's very weak. It still won't hold me up, and I don't trust it to support my weight, so I'm still using the walker. I do small things around the house....such as laundry, or picking up after the girls. The girls are great as "runners", and they never seem to mind doing things for me. They have been a great help!
