Knee follow up

I had my orthopedic appointment last Friday, and it went well. Arthritis in both knees, yes, but surgical intervention is unnecessary (as I had hoped). I was given the options of cortisone, pt, or strong nsaids. I went with the first, and got a shot underneath my left kneecap.

So far, so good. I can feel the difference in the way my leg moves when walking, and sleep has been easier. There was some irritation yesterday, after mowing the lawn, but that passed. I think my hips felt the worst as my gait has changed :D

This is a three month solution (recommended frequency between shots). I can keep taking naproxen and ice if necessary. I wear knee pads when gardening anyway, and kneel on an old boogie board or low stool. If necessary I can get a shot in the other knee.

Onward!

I renewed my driver’s license today, and had to show up in person for a new photo (first in maybe fifteen years), and Real ID, because why not? The photo… damn, it’s like the opposite of the meme: I don’t feel as old as I actually look! It’s going to take a while to process this.

The garden is doing well this year (mostly). We picked a couple of green peppers last week, and yesterday we got a cucumber!
