Keeping elevated and continue using icepak alt. 20 mins or so.

Hi, I hate the flu. Started feeling UGH Sunday. That's why I've been MIA. I got flu shot too last October. Apparently for different strain.

I'm going to read posts now then heading back to cozy comforter and sipping Coke.

Hi Paulie, I am done with PT!!! I finished a couple of weeks ago.   I work in the office next week but I am going to ask him if I can do the 3/2 every week now.  The part that had someone obligated to be in office is gone.  Asking now cause the next 2 weeks I am supposed to be in the office every day/ I have a dentist appointment Thursday so he said I can work from home that day It's going to be cold today and tomorrow than warm up Monday but that's it then cold again.

Hi LB, I asked if you're still doing PT at home. I know you stopped going into clinic for PT. In an earlier post you said the PT therapist gave you exercises to do at home.

Good luck and best wishes getting the 3/2 work schedule approved. I hope it is approved.

Hi Tig! Hugz to you too! Good I'm sending mine virtually to you. No spreading of germs allowed.

Hi Phyl, Oh my heavens! Your last fall was in an upstairs room when you tripped on a throw rug if I remember correctly.
You need bubble wrap girl!!

I'm sorry this happened to you. No one needs a fall like that. After looking at the pictures you sent I understand why you're still icing in a recliner. Good the swelling has gone down some.

Good luck and best wishes for your appointment with orthopedic Dr tomorrow. Hopefully Dr will say knee gel injections can resume eventually vs a knee replacement. I remember many months ago/last year in a post here you said you don't want a replacement or something similar.

Prayers for your healing.

Hi LB, Thanks. Last night I finally began to feel better. Feel much better today.

Good your 3/2 will get approved eventually.

Did you get snow and ice storm today?

I did here. Started this morning as snow then ice. Schools went virtual and lots of closings and delays.
I used the day to make a big pot of beef stew. Temps rose eventually and it melted. Good!

Another snow/ice storm predicted for this weekend.
