Maybe it all boils down to the power of suggestion, but my knees felt better afterward.<br />If I can figure out how to make myself a shorter copy (just the exercises please), I'll be happy to send you the original.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03152215204773184788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981786991716763961.post-68595850903260043612010-09-24T14:23:11.042-07:002010-09-24T14:23:11.042-07:00HOW EXCITING!!!

If you can...Glad you like your new couple so much! If you can, take a day of resting the knee - no walking or bike riding. And ibuprofen will help - probably just overuse, and eventually it will get accustomed to all that you are asking it to do. Not easy to deal with the pain now, I know!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981786991716763961.post-72399812280197728002010-09-24T10:31:09.710-07:002010-09-24T10:31:09.710-07:00So great to hear that things are settling down and...So great to hear that things are settling down and you're feeling grateful and grounded. Love Roxie's suggestion of Ozzie and Harriet - perfect!<br /><br />With your knee, there are things you can do to help it along while waiting for insurance. Ice it for 15 minutes after you walk, with it elevated. Do it every time as it really helps decrease inflammation. So does ibuprofen, if your stomach can take it. And if it helps, wrap the knee with a brace or ace bandage for support. Have a great w/e!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401609334253676307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981786991716763961.post-13383638769727492262010-09-24T09:06:57.700-07:002010-09-24T09:06:57.700-07:00I just smiled and smiled reading this post. About...I just smiled and smiled reading this post. About the knee pain are you doing some stretching? If not look some leg stretches up online and do them faithfully everyday. With all the riding and walking you need to make sure you're stretching. I am still having ankle pain but the stretching is helping. I'm so happy you like your little couple and they are so kind to you, you deserve that since you are so very kind too. Hope your girlfriend gets herself together for the family's sake if nothing else. Hope you have a great time with the gkids which I know you will. *hugs*bbubblybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06423578980112090148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981786991716763961.post-69551440226466406092010-09-24T08:03:39.638-07:002010-09-24T08:03:39.638-07:00Dana, you are just awesome.

I am so glad that things are coming together for you, even in the face of such tumultuous change. I believe that good things are coming your way - many good things. <br /><br />I am assuming this is your same friend that you spoke of a couple of months ago? She's back using again? That's such a difficult situation that you are put in - I think you are probably right about setting this boundary. <br /><br />Enjoy your grandkids this weekend! And when does the new one arrive?Roxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01440676304336222503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981786991716763961.post-17079887053848377922010-09-24T07:19:04.378-07:002010-09-24T07:19:04.378-07:00Sounds like things are coming together!!! Sorry ab...Sounds like things are coming together!!! Sorry about the knee. I struggle with both my knees. I do a lot of stretching and ice packs to get through. It works! When I'm feeling better, I do more exercise, when they hurt I back off for a while. They get better and then I'm back at it. So frustrating to have injuries!!!! Just don't let it stop you. <br /><br />Keep focused! Have a great day!!! Have fun with those grand kids!!! So much fun!!<br /><br />Hugs!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722527731126817253noreply@blogger.com
