Has anyone ever had knee problems ?

[Ms Grumpy]

I will. I think that she is starting to really feel the pain. She has requested pain pills pretty close to every 4 1/2 hours. She asked to sleep on the couch tonight, but if she does she will be in a sitting position. I think it would be better for her to sleep laying down in her bed, better for circulation in her leg.

Different kind of pain, but I shattered me femur in a car accident a little over 17 years ago. They had me on morphine at first, then weened me off of it quickly. They sent me home with Demerol, it tied my stomach in knots so badly - I quickly learned to do without it. To this day, I resent taking any kinds of pills. After nearly two days without any sleep recently, I broke down and went to an urgent care center. They had me pick up a prescription for my sinus headaches. The kicker - there's caffeine in them! So I still am having trouble getting sleep despite my headaches mostly being gone. Damn that Murphy's law!

I'm sure she is tired of hearing it, but water... lots of water. As much as she can stand to drink. It will help with the pain, and keep her kidneys flushed of the meds.
