While We Are Replacing Things ...

 I have an Uncle that for the past few years has talked about getting his knees replaced. He was big, as I was, drinks, walks with a cane. Could be me in about 20+ years. But each time he would get in to get evaluated for the knee surgery, some other more important medical condition would pop it seems. Or he had to wait for something, then something else happen. He was going through the VA I believe. Anyways, to this day, he has not gotten the knees done.

When (and somedays I feel it is more IF) they replace my liver, they are going to make an attempt to 'patch' the umbilical hernia I have as well while I am 'open'. This is based solely on how the surgery goes, time, etc. I have been saying I need new knees for years, with the amount of pain they gave me. Of course, I was 350 lbs. and not eating right or taking good care of myself. Never even got the doctors to look at them. Could I get those while doing the Liver? Ha!

Today I really want to replace them. about 7am, I am dozing in bed, making the decision to sleep in until 8am. Dozing off I started dreaming,  and at one time in the dream, I am kicking out Kung Fu style at someone's head, and I am suddenly awake, on my knees, beside (not in) the bed. The Pain rushing up from the knees tells me I landed on them. I took off my CPAP mask and said the Wife's name, maybe twice, and woke her to help get me up. I just could not raise myself from a kneeling position on my knees, even with the support of the bed on the right and the end table towards the left. Oh yeah, the knees got landed on. I can walk, it just hurts the kneecap area. Think I will rub on some tiger balm and see if that helps.

But I did go back to bed until 8am.

It's a Thursday. The Wife has 'flexed' off from work today. She says that I hate it when she is home all day with me, and I laughed at her. I said I love it when she is here, because then I have someone to talk to throughout the day since the Youngest is usually catching up on his sleep from being up most of the night. 

The effects of the Para this week were less than even last week. Fewer cramps, and today I feel pretty normal, like everything has settled back into place.

I guess that is all I got.

Edit: The cold I think I got from RM, well not so sure now.. The coughing is done to almost nothing, and I have no other symptoms. Either I only caught a tiny bit of it (makes no sense) or I actually got it from sone one else with a different strain.
