Sigh

So apparently I overdid it yesterday, which I guess isn't surprising. I was bored, so I did all that housework, and that was a mistake. It's not my knee that is really hurting (although it is a bit), but rather my back. I am really tight above my knees, as if my quads are telling me, Really, again? Anyway, I'm going to try to take it easy today. I'm up taking my meds and drinking some fluids, but after that, I may lie back in bed. I got up and made coffee, and got my friend up (and he's moving slow). He's studying via Zoom with friends now and probably will for a couple of hours at least, so I'm just going to rest, and he agrees I should. Afterwards, when he can be attentive, I need to practice going up the step with the left leg. My right leg has been my 'good' leg since high school, and of course, you go up on the 'good' leg, down on the 'bad' one, but once the next surgery happens, the left will be the 'good'. The thing is, it just had surgery, so it needs strengthening, and the right still needs strengthening before surgery as well, so I have new exercises to do as well. But I think going up and down the stairs will help, though I found out in PT it's hard, especially at first.

Either

I have overdone it a bit today or sat too long at the computer, or a combination of both, as I feel stiff and sore all over, especially in my foot/ankle, knees, and back/neck. So I think it's time to take some Tylenol. I really find that Advil/ibuprofen works better for those sorts of aches, but apparently NSAIDs inhibit bone growth, so it's Tylenol/acetaminophen for awhile. I think I'll stay up for just a little while longer, give it a chance to kick in, and then head on to bed. PT comes very early tomorrow.
