Well, things have gone up and down for a few months, but I am back to where I was when I last posted, so once again, I hope to try to make a daily weigh-in. Being "accountable" only to myself is hard. Since I was here last though, I have had to have a shot into my left knee to help with stiffness and pain. The doctor took a lot of x-rays and says the joint is down to bone on bone! No wonder it was hurting. The right knee is not far behind. It is due to arthritis, which will never go away. We will use these shots (maybe have to be once every several months, just have to wait and see) but when the shot is no longer effective the only other option is a knee replacement, and I do not want that until absolutely necessary! In the meanwhile, getting some weight off of the joints will prolong the time before surgery is needed. Afraid if they stapled my mouth shut I would just find a way to snort cheeseburgers.... Am gonna' be looking for support here. Thanks.
