First, let me say that both the luncheons this month held at the Buffy Bed and Breakfast went well! Half our exercise group attended the first pot luck, and everyone had a good time. There were still iris in bloom, peonies, roses, ox-eye daisies and Dame's Rocket, so we had color, and the gardens were still lovely. Saturday, the Red Hat Ladies appeared on our doorstep on a rainy day, and we held a birthday celebration for one of the ladies. We chatted, and had a great meal, and they were kind about well-trimmed, but mostly flowerless gardens. They were here just as the Spring flowers had faded away, and the summer flowers were not yet in full force. Luckily, one exceptional Peace rose, a red shrub rose, several lilies, the coreopsis and a couple of poppies were open, so the gardens weren't totally bare.
You can imagine how I felt as the last of the ladies left Saturday afternoon. I'd been working hard to get the gardens into shape, and working on the linens and china, cleaning the house, keeping the laundry done, AND working for DH. I was thinking....."I can nap, read.....watch T.V. or just SIT!! I don't have to do ANYTHING!"
And then I realized my knee hurt. It wasn't a bad hurt, just a little tightness. As the afternoon progressed, the knee hurt a bit more, and I found it difficult to bend my leg. Then it hurt to walk down stairs. I got into the whirlpool and let the warm water work on the knee for a bit, but it was still stiff when I went to bed, and still stiff the next morning. I was getting a toothache from gritting my teeth!
I had a periodontist visit this morning, and the doc happens to be a runner. I asked him what he knew about knees, and all he could tell me was to take Ibuprofen, use heat, and if it wasn't better in two weeks, get an MRI done.
Bad back, bum knee, toothache.....I NEED A NEW BODY!!!
I figure my body knew that I had made it through my goals and it was okay to go to pot. Do you suppose I could scare it into shape by reminding it that we have a 90th birthday bash to plan??

Let's see...your knee hurts so you visit a periodontist. What do you do when you have a pain in the neck? (Ouch! That wasn't a fair hit!)

Good point, bod.....that's probably just what it's demanding.
No one ever said that what I do makes sense, Cop Car. If you want the sensible one, you need to talk to Dear Husband. Asking my periodoc made total sense to me....if not to the rest of the world.

Er....James! I was asking if he can make MY KNEES feel better! Jeeze.....those of us who are not married to Tex are actually capable of carrying on a converstation with him! *G*
Actually....I have a doctor's appointment on Monday. I decided I'd waited long enough to get a little help. When you have a "wonky" walk, EVERYTHING hurts.
