[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 200873, member: 1233"] Thank you so much for asking. Sorry I didn't reply earlier, have been working on some stuff. Jess's knee is doing very well. She is going back to school tomorrow and is going to stay the entire day. Her knee will be wrapped with an ace bandage for support, and she does have medications at school IF she needs them. She can put her weight on in (esp if we are not looking, eyeroll) She is doing well with-o crutches, and has had the most help from something I remembered from a knee injury of my own. The doctor I saw understood that I really couldn't take time off to go do PT. So he had me doing leg lifts at my desk. he also had me take PAPER bathroom cups (3 or 5 oz, didn't matter which) and freeze water in them. Then you tear the paper away so just a bit of the ice is showing (like dialing up your deodorant - you don't want to get rid of the dispenser, just have some deo exposed). Take the ice and massage the area where it hurts, concentrating on the sorest part. This helps the swelling MORE than just putting a cold pack over the entire knee, though I don't know why. I am so sorry they have had Jana, Warrior Princess on her knees pulling weeds, etc.... in my opinion that is just cruel. I am also VERY glad teh spiderbite is healing. Those scare me. Give jana a big hug for me when you see her. She is a REAL soldier, even if the armed forces were not the right forum for her. Can you just IMAGINE the things she will accomplish when she has her own kids? Esp with YOU as a role model! Anyway, thanks again for asking! [/QUOTE]
