Bionic Woman

Went to physical therapy again today. I had my muscles contracted by something called a Russian Stimulator. That felt funky. My leg muscles are a bit sore, more on my left leg than my right. Which is ironic, since the right leg was receiving a higher jolt. However, the higher current wasn't causing the muscle to contract like the lower current was on the left leg. Odd.

So, I spent an hour and a half at PT. The last 15 minutes of that was icing my knees down. That felt pretty good. I'm thinking about throwing an ice pack on my left one, as I'm feeling some pain this evening.

The PT also taped both of my knees. I don't think the tape is aligned quite right on the left one. On top of that, the tape makes my knees look rather unattractive. If I play with anyone, I'm going to have to remove the tape, or they're going to have to ignore it.


I have a feeling I'm going to be a bit sleepy this evening. I'm tired enough that I will probably zonk out in a hurry.

Wait out the surgery if possible. Once they cut on your knees it seems they just keep having to cut. I have one knee cap that is way to the side but it is better than a new knee.
BTW --- you are a very pretty Lady, and I am sure tape on your knees would not hurt that at all!
