 And what might today be going to bring? 

Will I be able to walk, number one, or do I spend the day juggling Ibuprofen and Tylenol Extra-strength until I'm no longer in pain by the middle of the afternoon and then I'm so exhausted I stay in bed for the rest of the day anyway, like yesterday? A rich, full life indeed. 

My call for help at SW Bone and Joint resulted in a prescription for Meloxicam being sent to Walmart, and that will be here by 11 this morning. 

And as far as I can tell I've managed to combine all three of my blogs into this one, so it has posts from 2020 and 2009 all mixed up together. If I tried very hard I might be able to smile. 

11:10 am and I'm back in bed with a stomach full of pills and a Lidocaine patch on my knee waiting for the Meloxicam to arrive. 

2:46 pm  Meloxicam arrived, downed with another keep the pain at bay handful, and I'm beginning to realize how the days go. By about three each afternoon the pain has subsided enough that I don't feel it and I can think about getting out of bed. 

Phew.
