Something Pithy This Way Comes

or not…

It remains to be seems whether or not this post is pithy but I'm working on the "it you say it it will be so" school of live happenings, so maybe it will be good.

or not..

Anyway to the topic of today's dissertation. "If you have a bad knee and and you can't get in to see the Orthopod for 3 months , should you cut off your leg".

I'm still having issues with right knee but I have my own TENS machine and I'm looking at alternative therapies with magnetics, So far the the best is Prednisone but that has a WHOLE set of problems that go with it. I'm cycling down now to a very low dose to see if I can get it to still help but reduce my other side effects.

My blood pressure medication is also being changed so that it might reduce the swelling in my legs, and we just found out that Prednisone may also cause swelling. But I'm taking it to reduce the pain and inflammation in the my knee, when its gout in there that's causing the problem!

My kidneys are leaking protein…..

BUT I feel real good! No really I now have appointments with a Dietician, Phyistherapists, Ortho Surgeon, GP, and Oncologist to try and figure this out so surely they will do so. In the meantime I bumble along and I'm getting so many things done around the house because I'm so hyper.

Not much Pith but some sharing.

Maybe when there's

More later
