I thought that at first it was just because I had had surgery on my right foot that my left knee was hurting from increased pressure on that leg to compensate for the injury. But for the last couple of days, I have had such searing pain that even the pain meds didn't help, and I ended up taking a lot of Ibuprofen to compensate for the pain. It helped a little, but I still am walking on knees that feel like they could collapse at any time now. I am past pain into agony. I wish I could use my chair and stop my legs from hurting, but I can't use it outside, and I can't really use it inside because my apartment is too small for it to work. Sigh. I don't want to have to use my power chair unless there is no other way. Right now, there is walking with the use of a cane. But I know that is temporary and will not hold out forever. Sigh. I don't know what else to do. And crying about it isn't an option. I have elevated leg rests on my chair, or should I say FOR my chair that I can use, but I feel if I once use them I will be too happy to use anything but my chair. And then my world will be diminished again. As a foster parent, I can't do that. Just can't.
