Guest guest Posted August 30, 2001 Report Share Posted August 30, 2001 Well Gang, I am sitting here saddened, s knee swelled up on monday, and now she can barely walk. During the " well time " I think I was in denial, and the reality is back again. I just want to cry. We upped the pred hoping that will help, but so far nothing. They are thinking it might need to be injected. This will be her first injection and I haven't told her yet. She will lose it " she hates needles " . It is just so sad. On Friday she attended a school dance with all of her friends, and had such a great time. She is crying because she doesn't want to go back into the wheelchair. She is in so much pain that I am not sure what to do. I immediately made her start sleeping in her brace again, because the leg is not straightening and is turned outward like before. Of course, I am not her favorite person this week. It seems to be getting more painful and swolen by the hour. I hate to see her have to walk on it at school. The pain has to effect her concentration and therefore her academic performance. And she has to walk so much and so far from class to class. I need a huge hug, so If anyone has an extra one, please send it my way. Suzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
