Well here i am sitting inside on a lovely monday morning and thinking i'd be better of in bed. Why you might ask. Well it wasn't a good night in bed,my knee decided to play up. I can't pinpoint what the feeling i was getting in my leg. It felt like it was stabbing me and then it felt just painful. I had breakfast in bed and while huuby is sorting things out downstairs i make an effort to have a wash and try to get dressed. Then i come downstairs and read the papers and just sit and rest.
So why do i feel awful. I feel very down and everything i touch seems to go wrong. I am very tired too. I feel like a wet dishrag. I'm not ill,just fed up i suppose is the best word. I can't sit outside with any comfort, so i have come back in and i still can't get settled and i don't know why. I suppose it's down to the old favourate post op fatigue. All i can say lets get this day over with so i can like a nice fluffy towel tomorrow instead.
Hope you all feel lovely and bright today.

Hi Sylvi,
You are probably overtired. Not sleeping well at night is a nuisance and def makes me jittery during the day, maybe that's why you can't get comfy anywhere.
Maybe going back to bed and getting some shut eye even only half an hour might perk you up a bit.
I too was sitting outside but was finding it very difficult to keep my eyes open, so am lying on the bed.
Hope you can find a comfy spot and have a well earned rest.

Hope you feel better soon Sylvi. Take it easy and listen to your body, it's going to take time but you'll get there.
Afternoon girls,well my day just went from bad to worse,i had been asleep and i don't know why i woke up,but you know whta it's like when you've been asleep the first thing you want is a wee. Well ladies that's the easy bit,try getting out of a chair half asleep and not sure what your doing,next thing i knew i had fallen back into the chair and yes i've shaken that leg up. Hubby came racing in to see what the matter was. He helped me upstairs to the loo and after i finished in there i had to go and change. So it seems the sleep didn't do much good as i'm now shaken not stirred and the leg feels funny. I don't think i've done any damage only to my pride.
So i'm a silly billy. I know you'll sit there reading this laughing your heads off. Yes i know i would,if i don't laugh i think i would cry. The best of it i was doing as i'm told and i have been resting and i have been having a sleep,so falling over like that doesn't make sense. So as the blog says i should have gone back to bed......
Ha ha ha,your quite right i should have gone to bed,but i get fed up always being in bed. I'm usually in bed early in the evening, just resting from about 7pm.I love my bed,but i miss out on so much,not seeing people walking past the house for a start. Over the last 3yrs i've spent so much time in bed so i am hoping to be able to sit downstairs a bit more often now the knee is fixed.
I don't think even now do i realise the enormaty of what i have had done. I wish we had space for a downstairs loo.
I'm usually upstairs around 7 just lying on the bed (husband wont watch Eastenders!). A downstairs loo is handy I totally agree. Being positive - now the knee has been sorted (fingers crossed for you) the problems of going up to the loo and spending so much time in bed will be things of the past.
Of course you could invest in a toilet tent for your back garden and just keep moving it about so it's not in the way. (Can just hear your neighbours saying "she's moved that tent again" or "that tents on the move again").
