I just didn't have it in me today to do the SPT. Then, the more I thought about it, I realized that the only thing I want right now is for my knee to be better. So -- see the top photo of my last post!
I had a post-op visit with the surgeon yesterday, only to find out that I should have been taking aspirin ever since the surgery. No one told me! So now I am on a new aspirin regime. Because I have had a lot of calf pain in the last few days, they sent me to get an ultrasound to rule out a blood clot. Nice! That caused me some anxiety until yesterday afternoon. Good news: no DVT.
I am just tired out and nauseated (from the aspirin?). Would that $100 would buy me a functioning knee right now, and a normal walking gait, I would gladly pay that and more...

I am so glad you don't have DVT. That would be so scary. I hope you can recovery quickly.
Good Luck!
first of all I'm really glad you didn't have a clot. Phew.
I'm sorry that you're still in some pain. I too would gladly pay that price what ever the price.
i really hate that you are dealing with this pain right now, when you should be focusing on the fun that WILL be your trip to paris!!
if it would help you before your trip, i would gladly donate my virtual $100 to your knee cause!
I was hoping to hear an update- but a good one! I am so sorry Michelle. I have been thinking and praying about you a lot lately and I hope the aspirin helps ease the pain and aid in the recovery.
Oh, Michelle. I hope that gait returns so soon!! Thinking of you.
oh michelle, that stinks. i hope you are feeling better soon. jill has asked us to give thanks to our knees and i tell you, i have. reading about your pain and recovery has made me appreciate them even more.
prayers for speedy recovery coming your way...
Oh, you poor girl! Glad you don't have a clot, but wish your knee were back to better! Hope it feels better soon!
Such good news about not having the clot! WOW! That would cause some serious concern! Can't believe that no one told you about taking an asprin! I would be a bit ticked! Hope you are feeling better....by Friday!
Yes! That would be a good way to spend your cash (if only ...). I'd use mine that way, too, since my darn foot still hurts! I hope that soon you'll be strolling the streets of Paris pain-free. So sad and wrong that no one told you about the aspirin. Hope it's helping! I'm glad you don't have a clot. Those things are scary.
I'd pitch in my virtual $100 for your knee to feel better.
Really that is so horrible no one passed that info onto you! I hope the aspirin helps and there is relief on the way! Hang in there!
If you good buy a healthy knee we'd all pitch in and get you one!
Sad,sad,sad, very sad, WAY sad, so sad, SAD!!!The Petersen knees have always been a "pain" and so sorry to hear that it is truely a pain!!I'm pulling and praying for you. Marc is going to have a real struggle doing your work AND his getting out to the plane! You better prepare him and employ the boys too! Did you have the blessing yet?I think it's a good idea.
Love you and your bad knee...
michelle, i am so sorry and hope that it starts to feel better before you go.
that french air will hopefully do wonders for the recovery.
I had to get an ultrasound on my leg to see if I had blood clot. I wasn't nervous about it, but the drs seemed to be freaking out about it which made me concerned. Glad it wasn't that! When my brother had knee surgery in high school he had to sport a cane and go to school. He was a good sport about it and even used it as his logo when he ran for student body offices (alas he didn't win). I hope you recoup quickly and cna enjoy your time in Paris.
michelle i hope that the aspirin makes you feel better...clot is scary....glad you don't have it. i think soon this will be only a faded memory....are you leaving in a week....you will have to tell your boys that they need to be men for the next couple of weeks...and step up to the plate....
Hmmm.... I thought I commented here?
Jill was keeping me a little informed on the DVT. I am relieved that there wasn't a problem and wanted to scream for you about the aspirin overlook!
Thanks for your comments on my blog. It was nice to get up and have them...I always appreciate what you have to say.
