I am feeling a lot better but still not up to trying to walk any more than needed.  Maybe a while taking a break will be what I need.

Got sidetracked by kitties.

I wanted to add that I am glad you are feeling better Wally. Healing is the most important thing, do what you can and take your time.  Been there done that myself...

6,624 steps yesterday.

Knee about the same, but I know right away when I've done too much as it hurts and stiffens up something awful. I don't see pcp until Sept 21 so I have a while to go yet. Now that knee has settled down some, my back is feeling achey, I guess it was masked by the sore knee for a while...

Did better at taking it easy. Even so, knee is more sore this morning. Didn't take the Advil last night maybe that is why. I don't take Tylenol as that can damage the liver...don't need any more problems there! I was reading up on Advil the other night and too much of that can damage the kidneys! My kidneys are fine and I don't want any issues there! I only take 200mg once a day which is well under danger limit but I don't want to take any chances. I guess I am down to just the Aspercreme and ace bandage until I see the dr.

I very rarely take any NSAIDs primarily because I don't want to deal with side effects but also because none have really given me any relief unless I take way more than you should.  I do think that the topical creams have helped but I will take Tylenol for a rare headache and there is no topical for that.

I have some very serious liver issues and Tylenol can cause me a lot of harm. I have had good luck with Advil, the generics not so much, but now worry about the kidneys. I don't take any where near the danger amount and seldom have headaches. When I do 1 Advil does work for me. I guess it all depends on how one's body metabolizes the med. I have a terrible time  with most prescribed meds so am happy for the occasional use of Advil. I was taking just one pill a day, daily but will now cut back to 1 every couple of days for the pain until I see the dr.

Took an Advil at bedtime and slept much more comfortably last night. Will just keep plodding along as carefully as possible until I see dr 9/21.

Yeah, if Advil works for you then it makes sense to use it and not taking big doses it should not cause any problems.  In my case it has never helped much so I stopped using it and yes it must depend on how our body uses it.

8,045 steps yesterday.

Between unloading 8 traps from TNR lady's car and then placing them around the yard and the normal things I had to do...lots of steps yesterday! She is bringing another 8-10 traps on Monday and will help me get them set up and put food in them.

Monday no food for kitties, Monday is trapping night. I don't think I will get much sleep, every time I hear a trap close will wake me up...

6,726. steps yesterday.

Some frustrated pacing involved. Also it takes longer to feed kitties as I need to put food near each of the traps to get them used to them being around.

An easy day even with the few errands. Found a different Aspercreme w/Lidocaine (4%) at the other drug store in town. It is a roll on with Lavender essential oil, smells really nice and works as well as the plain hand applied cream I have been using. It is so easy to apply and my hands don't get all messy. Yay for something new!

Taking it easy again today, it is going to be hectic on Monday. Will be putting out the rest of the traps and then putting the food in. Will be showers on and off all day and evening. Feel bad if it rains while kitties are caught in the traps. I do have blankets and sheets to cover the traps but if it is raining I don't know if that will help or be worse. Sure hope. we get most of them the first try... I had no idea how stressful this was going to be for me.

I hope it goes well and is not too stressful.  It does sound like a lot of work.

Talked to TRN lady and have everything organized for today. I felt less stressed after. Feed kitties breakfast and then they get nothing until the wet food in the trap this evening. I sure hope we get most of them tonight!!

Still will be a lot of work getting last 10 traps set out and then putting food in all of them.... I have to focus on the future and that this is the best thing for the kitties.

Ack! Internet just went out again. Back to data for just 2 more posts...
