Ouch!

 From Tuesday, December 17th.

I had knee replacement surgery seven weeks ago today. My recovery has been going pretty well. I am able to walk around the house without a cane.

That is, was. This evening we went to Chipotle, to eat. As I left the ladies room I tripped over a stack of patio umbrellas that were in the middle of the floor. I did not see them until I was on the floor. I fell on both knees. The one I had surgery on five years ago and the one from seven weeks ago. I am bruised and sore. I hope nothing is terribly damaged. Just by luck my follow up appointment with the surgeon is tomorrow. Wish me luck, as I limp off to bed.

December 18th:

My knees really hurt. That said, I saw the doctor today and got x-rays. Nothing is broken. Just inflamed and sore. I will be alright, just in pain for a while

December 20th:

My knees hurt and I feel fragile. But even worse that gthe knee pain is my ribs. I have been assured that I dod not break a rib. But when I cough my ribs really hurt!
