I think I will be okay. The swelling has all gone in that knee and leg. It hurts a bit down the front of that leg, on the bone, where there are bruises that I didn't see before. The back of the knee hurts the most and down the back of the leg muscle. I can't bend my knee all the way yet. It hurts too much. But I can walk on that leg with just one crutch and if I keep my leg stiff. I have to be real careful though. I don't want it giving out on me and falling again. So better to keep using the crutches and walker when I have to. I use the walker to haul things around. Can't carry a thing when I use both crutches but can a bit if I only use one.
That weird pain in my groin or lower belly has gone, thank heavens. But I am still having some aching in my rectum. Maybe that cancer has spread into the walls more and it can't be healed with the baking soda. I'll never know because I will not have it checked. Otherwise I'm feeling okay. If something else doesn't happen. I can't sit still. I'm always up and down doing something. But I do try to elevate that leg as much as I can. It seems to be aching more today than yesterday. I guess because the swelling is all gone and now I can feel the real injuries more. I think I will be able to go grocery shopping in a few days anyway. I will just be real careful. I really must go out on Tuesday because it's going to snow Wednesday and Thursday they say.
We did not get any of that snowstorm that hit down along the East coast. I'm happy about that. It would be too hard to walk in snow or even shovel right now. If I really need someone to shovel I can hire a kid though.
So that is all I can tell you for now. I think I'll go in the living room and sit with my leg up and watch a movie or something. Take care everyone.
