So glad you didn't have to have surgery! Hope you're feeling better.

Thanks so much everybody! Mike has been very attentive. I finally had to just make him quit opening my car door and standing there while I got in, lol! He's doing the housework and grocery shopping, but he does a lot of that, anyway.

It's getting a little stronger. When I went back at 3 weeks the doc told me to wear the brace for 3 more weeks. I go back on the 20th so I have my fingers crossed that he'll tell me I can at least sleep without it
 I had 2 funerals to go to this week, and it was really hard to find something to wear that fit over the brace. I gave up wearing dresses a few years ago, so I wear nice pant suits when I dress up, lol!My knee does feel better, but it still wakes me up several times a night throbbing. Thankfully just a position change usually helps! It's pretty hard to keep it bent in the car, which makes traveling not much fun. Thanks for giving me a chance to whine  I think I'm just tired of dealing with it. I am thankful that it's healing on it's own. So far, so good!! I'm going to miss my big ugly brace when it's gone

I know you are tired of it too! I don't wear dresses anymore either - gave it up long ago, so I can imagine how much fun it would be to find pants that fit over a brace.
I've been having trouble with the knee I hurt way back in high school playing basketball. I hope it doesn't start giving me trouble all the time.

Mike is having a set of injections in his knee. Once a week for 5 weeks. He had it done last year and it helped for quite a while. Maybe you could try something like that.

I'm thinking I might have to go see the doc to see what I should/shouldn't be doing. It doesn't hurt all the time at all, it only hurts occasionally if I step the wrong way. But it is feeling more unstable and I don't like that feeling.

That unstable feeling is scary. I'd hate to fall and break a hip...or my neck, lol!!

I know, the instability is what bothers me the most.

I hope that both of you get your knees in better shape soon. I have some arthritis in one of mine that bothers me some but losing weight has helped that some. Hugs to both of you!!

Yes, mine would feel better I'm sure if I'd lose 20 lbs.

*sigh* I went back to the doctor today. He said for me to wear the brace for 4 MORE weeks.. that's 10 weeks total.. and then I'll probably need surgery
He did say I could sleep without it at night, but NOT to walk without it..even to the bathroom. *sigh*
