And I sat on the sofa, and recovered some more

Today's bizarre revelation is that "when my knee aches, it's because I'm wearing pants and I'm not wearing the leg brace." However, leg brace + pants = a-ok. Leg brace + heavy covers = sleep like the dead. WTF is it about the knee brace?

Otherwise, not much.

We went to a hockey game Friday night. It was just my husband and myself in the handicap section. I grabbed another chair and put my leg up on it, because having it pointing down was just so uncomfortable. Unfortunately, Saturday morning, my discomfort came from having been a bit twisted to get my leg on that chair. We went back for Saturday night's game annnnnd the section was nearly full and there was no place to put my leg. We called it a night after the second period.

(For the record, it was worth leaving after the second period, since the good guys totally imploded)

So, guess I'm not just ready for that sort of being in public. Puts a serious kink in trying to see a movie or anything. Too bad; there were a few I wanted to see. I guess I'll do my usual "watch them on DVD" routine. Fie!

My mood is somewhat improved. I've determined that part of the mid-week blahs are more than, you know, mid-week. On Tuesday nights, I go with my husband to his game night (so that I'm not left at home). These go until nearly midnight and then I get up with him at 6:30am. This makes me tired and super-cranky. But I've HAD to get up, because I can't fix myself breakfast. This week, we bought some breakfast snacks, so I intend to sleep in muuuuuuuuuuuch longer tomorrow. It should cut down on the crank factor. I hope. We'll see.

And it's nearly two weeks to Thanksgiving. I'm less than 2 weeks from my post-op appointment. Fingers crossed that things look good and I'm allowed to rejoin the real world. Fingers also crossed that I can put my leg down, soon, too.
