I’m still having a lot of pain. I take Vicodin day and night. The Vicodin has done nothing for the pain but everything else is making me nauseous. I take Vicodin, go to PT, come home, take more Vicodin. In fact, I think the Vicodin is messing with my moods and not making things look too bright.

I went to see my OS today and he dropped a bomb shell, another month of crutches and absolutely no driving. The good news is I get measured for a new brace. One that isn't so heavy and big. No weight on my knee, no bending of the knee unless I’m in PT. My range of motion is only 30 degrees anyway. This was my knee last week and it doesn’t look any better and is even more bruised then this. It might be triggering so be careful. I’m having pain deep inside close to the bone which I didn’t have before. But he said he had to do a lot of work last time and remove some loose bone fragments.

It’s going to be below zero tonight and the next few days. I haven’t been able to get out and put hay out for my ferals. I’m so afraid they won’t make it. The wind chills are supposed to be 20 below the next few days. I hope they can find some place warm. So that's got me upset.

I’m sleeping 12-16 hrs a day, I have no appetite, I feel miserable, I can't concentrate on anything, and I want to cry most of the time. I haven’t even turned my computer on in two days. I’m reading books I shouldn’t be reading. I’m obsessing about something but just feel like I can’t anymore.
