Anne, is it more than the knee? In a way that's not attributable to compensating for the knee? Could it be a virus, maybe, that's settled in the joints? Is it worth seeing a doctor for? In any case, I hope it eases up soon. I've dealt with a wonky knee since my high school senior year, and it's no fun.
Jilli, the new site is purrrrty! But I miss photographs of TLoTM, even though the caricature is lovely.
Did you survive the wedding?
My ankle and hip are sore, and it definitely feels like the sort of thing I'd get from trying to compensate as I walk. The knee pain feels like a particularly bad version of the typical. (I'm missing some cartilage under the kneecaps, and the kneecaps themselves track at a funny angle.) I'd gone for a brisk walk, and at the end, stepped up onto the porch while turning, and my vision nearly when white from the pain. Normally, a flare-up like that goes away pretty quickly, but this time it didn't, and I kept running up and down stairs to finish up laundry like a total dolt. By that evening, it hurt enough that I took to bed and stayed there through most of the weekend.
Advil and rest have helped immensely, but if things don't get noticeably better in the next day or two, I'll go see a doctor.
Wanna hear wedding stories!
Edit: when you're rested, of course.
Aimee, if it's any source of comfort, the Gothic Charm School site is finally up.
Also, we added aprons & throw-pillows to the store.
accompany? A handful of supplements and my thyroid pill.
Beverly, do you take Synthroid? Because if so, it's best to take on an empty stomach (unless your doc told you differently of course).
The wedding was beeeyootiful.
The Bride and Groom survived and were wonderful and after all that, had a wonderful time.
Also? Bridezilla has left the building. Her photographer had her and us traipsing all over a PARKING GARAGE. The train of her $3000 silk satin dress was TRASHED. And she didn't care. She was just glad she had fun pictures.
