Thought I’d do a quick update/briefing.. yes, I’ve been somewhat AWOL.. I do schedule posts ahead as much as possible so it’s not always apparent to all you sweet friends that I’m missing.

About two weeks ago I fell really hard onto my right knee on a concrete floor. With us still trying to move/sort/throw away we have excess clutter. This clutter encroached into the walkway and I tripped. … Now I have water on my knee. 🥺 Besides that wonderfulness, when I walk upstairs something catches in my knee joints.. ugh 😫.. somewhat painful but really really annoying.. I mean seriously stop slowing me down and get out of my knee joint annoying… 😒

I went to the ER and have an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon Tuesday morning. And the Dr really honestly cared how I was doing.. yes, great DRs really do exist!! They gave me 800mg ibuprofen… Helps but not enough.. great for inflammation.. I have a super high threshold for pain but there are many days I’m hurting to the point of nausea and a severe stomach ache by bedtime.. 🥺

So, yes, I’m doing “suck it up buttercup” as we have to keep going .. we have so much positive ahead of us and can’t just stop now.. I have to pay bills and keep a roof over our heads..

All this said, please bear with me if I’m AWOL off/on..
