Improvement

Popped to the doctor this morning to get my meds sorted. Trying a different painkiller, and yes, I do feel my knee is less sore. In fact, after my lovely physio lady yesterday, new more effective meds, I'm feeling there's been quite a breakthrough. And I haven't felt like that since Day Four in hospital when I discovered that I could get myself out of, and back into, my little electronic Velcro-ed massage bootees. This freed me at night to pop to the toilet without summoning a nurse, and it felt just great.

I came home and did some stretching with a bag of frozen peas on my knee, and Archie's head in my lap. I think they both helped quite a bit.

This afternoon we had a bit of a clear out. I have a huge box of assorted electrical wires, sockets, scart leads etc etc. I posted them on the Gumtree Freebies and some lucky person is coming to pick the box up this afternoon. I'm sure it's a wee treasure trove for someone who knows.

Popped up the Hill and Archie ran miles to and fro between us.

I have discovered that the US Tennis Open is on. Good. Something to take my mind off the pain as I do my exercises.

All that talk of beetroot sandwiches last week, reminded me of my favourite sandwich which I'd forgotten about - peanut butter and grated carrot. Absolutely delicious. Archie thinks so too - they are two of his favourite treats. But he could only look today, though he did have several bits of carrot in the kitchen.
