Today was a non-eventful day except for a few things:
When I woke up I discovered that I had gotten sunburned on my right leg and arm. It is not that bad, but since I am not allowed to 
use ANYTHING on my leg it makes it a little sad since it does burn a little. My steri-strips are also falling off and for the areas that are not quite healed all the way I am washing with rubbing alcohol and putting a new strip on it. Some places are healing so great! I have a tiny thin scar! The staple holes are the things that are kinda raised. I really think this scar is going to be much better than the one from 15 1/2 years ago!
It is weird, sometimes I feel things in my knee that I do not think I should be able to. It seems 
like I feel the joint rubbing against each other. But that seems to be impossible since the joint is all fake?? I am confused. I feel it bumping and grinding also. That maybe due to the vibrations that I can feel that...very strange. I wonder how long these feelings will last.
- I was able to go shopping without a drive around cart!
- I got a sunburn on my surgery leg and arm
- My leg ached a little more today
The day started early today. Elizabeth and I cuddled until 10. Then we went to go wake up Meghan. I only took 10 mg of meds at 9..but had to take breakthrough meds. I did my exercises.
Meghan had a book to read for school that we had to pick up from the library. We also took Elizabeth over to Honora's work for a visit.
We ran to the store and Elizabeth and I went shopping for a few things while Meghan walked over to Noodles and Company to get us lunch/dinner.
I was able to WALK the WHOLE time, however, by the time we got to check out (after about 30 minutes) my leg was aching. Then add to that a PAINFULLY SLOW check-out lady and it made for sad ending to a great beginning.

I am planning on going to bed early tonight (ie before 12 - hopefully as it is 10:30 when I started writing this, than the computer had issues and it is now 11:14). I took 20 mg of my meds tonight... hoping it will help me sleep. I tried only 10 mg last night and slept even worse than before. I need to do my exercises one more time today and then zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......
Even though I took a nap I still think I will be able to sleep...I sure hope so.
