Yeah you mindless ****! I take a half of a Vicodin lately to get a
measily 4 hours of sleep because the arthritis is so bad in my knee
that it keeps me up all night if I don't.

Well today was a monumental day. Despite the ongoing knee pain that
we
are working on and a bladder infection I came out of the doctors
office
a happy woman. I have officially lost #50 pounds. 410 to exactly
360 in
a bit over 5 weeks!!!! Im estatic to say the least. I lost 7 of it
in
the last 8 days. Gawd I feel good even in pain!!!!!!!!

The doc told me people who keeping walking with arthritis do better
in
the long run rather than not walking on it. I ahve continued to
walk
despite to horrific pain. I toough it out during the day and take a
Vicodin to sleep as I am all over the bed at night without
narcotics. I
told him I hired a personal trainer and he released me for exercise
on
March 14th. I told him I was going to do weights and resistance
training. He said a good thing to do for the kneee is try to build
up
my quads and do some free weights with my feet down by ankle. I'm
not
sure what he was talking about there but the guy I hired will. He
said
something about it takes the weight off the knee but strengthens
the
leg. He also suggested using 2 walking sticks like I am cross
country
sking when I am out walking. It helps your weight not to shift so
bad
and is good exercise for the upper body. He said he uses them all
the
time. One of the orthopods hikes into the mountains here and swears
by
2 walking stricks too.

Anyway, no real bad news. Life is good!!!!!!
