Old Man

I’m feeling my 50 years these days a bit more than I’d like with a painful bout of bursitis in my left knee.
I can’t seem to get the inflammation under control just yet.
Patience.
And Advil.
And some Vicodin.
And repeat.
I have some amazing and wonderful things to tell you but it’s going to
have to wait until I can sit  for more than ten minutes without looking like a fat dog shitting razor blades.
Off to fill the ice bag . . . again.

    don’t know if bursitis can be managed with arthroscopic surgery, but i just had roto-rooter on my right knee (skiing injury) and after 24 hours? it feels a bazillion times better. hope there’s some relief in your future… sounds awful…

    Thanks, kiddo.
    Much better today (4.7.09)
    My replies to comments suck, though . . .

    Who are you House? Vicodin!!!

    Here’s a tip you will love me forever for …celadrin. Check celadrin.com then go get yourself a tube or a bottle of capsules. It really works – permanently.

    I was walking much like House.
    The knee is better and didn’t try your suggestion but next time . . .
    Celadrin? Yup, I’m there.

    I feel for you, I do, but I really must admire your ability to create a visual that whilst not nice, still made me come close to wetting myself laughing!
    :lol:
    Sorry ~m, I’ll go home now…but I’m still giggling mind you!!
    :mrgreen:

    I am no longer the fat dog ‘shitting razor blades’.
    Thank the good Lord . . .

    Great way of making us suffer too: ‘have some amazing things to tell you BUT………”

    Gosh, at least you have drugs in the house. Not like me who now has to go through murphy-cravings cold turkey.
    ;-)

    Hope you feel better soon.
    PS. Me has been hugging toilet all day, that ain’t too cool either. :-(

    Hoping you’re feeling better by now.
    My ‘amazing’ posts are still simmering on the backburner.
    I’ll let you know when they’re ready . . .
    Thanks, Suz

    Of the non-Rx meds I tried when I had bursitis in my shoulder, Aleve worked the best (was the doctor’s recommendation). However, there were no razor blades involved and it was a non-weight-bearing joint on my left side, so I’ll just shut up.

    (I keep wanting to say something about the Old Man in the pic having fallen apart a few years ago, but that would be mean, wouldn’t it?)

    Much sympathy. Get well soon.

    Sad that the ‘Old Man’ lost his face.
    I was lucky enough to see it many times over the years before all hell broke loose.
    btw- the knee is much better. ;)
