Mental Hassles

Yesterday I spent the majority of my time watching my niece because of a sick day from school. My knee wasn't feeling its best, but I took her to the grocery store in order to buy her a snack. As I strolled through the aisles with her riding in a shopping cart, I ran through a few of those aisles while pushing the cart because it's something that she has always loved to do. My knee hadn't been feeling well before this, but a few hours later it began to feel really loose. I've mentioned this problem with my knee in previous blog posts, but it feels as though my leg is going to separate into two pieces at the middle. Weird. I can't simply blame it on the grocery store activity because I've had it happen while simply walking a very short distance at a fairly slow pace.

The feeling went away overnight and I only feel the normal pain and discomfort today, so yay for me. One of the annoying things about my motorcycle accident injuries is the uncertainties that they provide daily. The different pains and physical hindrances vary from day to day. Consequently, I never know what will be allowed for me by my own body within any given day regarding the things that I desire to do as I make plans. 

I'm scheduled to take a trip overseas in October that will require a lot of walking, including steep inclines and declines, along with many stairs. This issue with my knee has me wondering if it will cooperate with my needs in October. The trip will involve two weeks, and I hate to think that my knee will cause a major problem during the time away. I've actually considered the possibility of taking a cane with me that I used long ago while recuperating (just in case). I truly hope that I won't need to pack it when the time comes.

The aftereffects of my accident injuries continue to provide everything between pain and annoyance. Right now it's uncertainty, and it's a pain that's annoying.
