PIIZZZZZAAAAAAAA for dinner. I couldn't decide what I really felt like eating earlier them I remember I had pita bread. I don't have pita bread in the house that often. I always put it on my grocery list but the stores always seem to be out of them. I am going to make a white pizza which is mozzarella,romancheese, sliced tomatoes on top with basil, garlic, salt and pepper. Bake until melted and I like the cheese golden brown. I could make 2 or 1 using more cheese I am going for more cheese.

Sandy, I loved the cortisone injection - first pain relief I'd had in months. Has your Ortho talked to you about Synvisc injections? I've had those in my R knee; looks like the left one is next. Bone on bone hurts like a you know what! I have a brace to wear also. (Not sure if it is possible to wear a brace on both knees at the same time - I am forever grazing things because I did not allow enough room to walk around it)

My good DR told me that I am too young for knee replacement surgery by 10 years. I am 55. Like you, the down time is terribly unappealing.

Hope you are getting some relief.

Sounds yummy. I did low carb today. Tomorrow will be high carb. I seem to have enough energy to do cardio with low carb. The 'experts' say to make your 2 most demanding days your high carb days.

Knowing I am only doing it for a day at a time makes compliance easier. I've done all my planned workouts this week which allowed me to quilt to my hearts content. Only problem, there wasn't enough hours in the day!

Hope every one has a wonderful weekend.

Don't get too energetic just because you can't feel the pain. That knee still needs to rest.

I wrote you a note and stuck it inside with my name and username. You should get it tomorrow or Monday. Sandy

Lynne, the Dr hasn't mentioned the synvic injections. My knee felt so much better today. However, last cortisone injection only gave me 2 days relief. I am sure hoping for longer relief this time. (My middle name is Lynne and Mama put the "e" at the end of my name also. All my life, people misspelled it as they would leave the "e" off the end.)

Carrie, I'm not going to overdo it. I know this knee still needs rest. But it sure felt good to walk straighter and without the cane today. The rooms in my home are not large, and it was only walking from the dining room, where I'm currently set up to do my "work work" as my kids used to call it, to the bathroom or kitchen. So not too much walking. Heated up chili for dinner. Okay, that's 3 nights of chili, enough!!!! I put the rest in the freezer for later.

I'm heading to bed. I hope you all get a good night's sleep. Sandy

Good morning everyone.......I ahve been so good all week and usually Sunday is my cheat day and I have pancakes for breakfast however today I was dying for pancakes so I had those. Tomorrrow is weigh in I THINK I lost more. We will see.

Pancakes sound good. I'm still not losing. I keep going from 231 to 233 and back again. Maybe when the weather warms up I will start losing again.

Hubby ordered me a stationary bike that came in Wed. He is putting it together today. Ortho Dr gave me permission to use it,but to "start out slow and not overwork the right knee". I am so excited. I love to ride bike but haven't ridden my outside bike since moving to AL last year, due to all the hills. It is a big hill just going down my driveway. Took all my strength to get down it, to go to mailbox, before knee was hurt. So, today I will be starting on my new bike. woohooo

Tru, I LOVE pancakes. I usually make them Sat mornings for Hubby. However, Thursday morning, I wanted some so bad, I made myself 2 for breakfast. They were delicious. So,he isn't getting any this morning. lol

I hope you all have a good day and eat healthy. Hugs, Sandy
